Hair removal methods - a comparison

simplyhairless works with the industry leader in laser hair removal Candela and with premium aesthetic. Both stand for the highest level of innovation and safety in the field of aesthetic medicine. Candela offers globally proven laser and light technologies that are precisely and safely adapted to almost all skin and hair types. Premium aesthetic relies on advanced needle epilation / electroepilation with One Tec technology to remove hair that is less responsive to laser light / light technologies.

Two lasers - one goal: permanently smooth skin

Candela Gentle Max Pro Plus - a dual wavelength laser platform that combines the fastest and most powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser with an equally powerful 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. With the alexandrite and ND:YAG laser, simplyhairless offers two state-of-the-art laser systems that can be tailored to your different skin and hair situations in order to pursue one goal with you: safe, effective and permanent hair removal. Smooth skin without compromise.

The alexandrite laser (755 nm) is ideal for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV) and dark blonde to dark hair. Its special wavelength precisely targets the melanin in the hair follicles, which enables fast and reliable results - even on finer dark hair. The alexandrite laser is suitable for both smaller and larger areas of skin and enables efficient, painless treatment.

The ND:YAG laser (1064 nm), on the other hand, penetrates deeper into the skin and is therefore particularly safe and effective for darker to very dark skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types V-VI). This wavelength reaches the hair follicles of these dark skin types without affecting the surrounding skin tissue. The ND:YAG laser is therefore the only laser that enables safe treatment success for these skin types.

Thanks to the integrated Dynamic Cooling Device™ technology, without cooling gel or ice, both lasers ensure a particularly pleasant treatment experience. Particularly smooth and quiet devices underline your relaxation during treatment.

IPL/SWT® - light-based hair removal for versatile applications

The unique Sirius Candela IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) narrow-band technology with dual-mode filtering offers a light-based method that is the only one that enables gentle yet highly effective hair growth reduction treatments without cooling. This makes our and is particularly versatile. In contrast to lasers, which work with focused light in a single wavelength range, our Sirius SWT uses a broad spectrum of light that acts on the hair follicles at different wavelengths. Unnecessary wavelengths of light are filtered out by special filters (SWT® - Selected Waveband Technology) so that only the wavelengths that are really necessary are effective on your skin. This also allows us to treat skin that has been irritated and reddened by shaving, as is often the case at the start of treatment. Through the targeted use of light energy, the melanin in the hair is heated, which slows down hair growth and permanently reduces it over several sessions.

At simplyhairless, we rely on Sirius SWT® technology (Selected Waveband Technology) because our customers have been delighted with the results for years. This innovative method generates a computer-controlled energy pulse that is precisely tailored to the skin in the area to be treated. The more individually the treatment energy is adjusted, the more effective the treatment is. Fine hair absorbs the energy differently to thicker hair, light skin needs to be treated differently to naturally darker skin. The SWT filter technology is unique, patented and works without additional cooling. This is particularly effective and gentle on the skin. These special filters enable optimum treatment on irritated skin, e.g. razor burn and ingrown hairs.

The solution for hair with little melanin

For hair that contains little or no melanin - such as very light, gray or red hair - needle epilation offers an effective solution for permanent hair removal. In contrast to laser treatments, which work via the pigmentation of the hair, needle epilation works independently of the hair color. With this method, a fine needle is inserted precisely into the hair canal to destroy the hair follicle with a targeted energy impulse. This is why needle epilation is often referred to as electro-epilation.

One Tec®, with the RWS procedure, can provide you with safe and effective treatments with minimal tissue damage. The RWS procedure is based on specially modulated, multi-frequency energy pulses. The power output in terms of pulse strength and pulse duration is precisely controlled by microprocessors. This ensures a particularly controlled treatment, which is particularly suitable for smaller areas of the face. Needle epilation is the treatment of choice if you are annoyed by bristly hair on the chin and upper lip, often referred to as witch hair or lady's beard.

Laser or conventional methods? - The comparison

Every woman uses up to four different methods for hair removal in different areas of the body. Whenever you are not satisfied and happy with the result, if you are annoyed by razor burn, pimples, stubble and itching or if you simply no longer want to waste your precious free time on time-consuming hair removal, then it is the right time to think about a professional solution. Opting for permanent hair removal will change your life: more well-being, more self-confidence, more spontaneity.

Our aim is to provide you with a permanent and gentle hair removal solution that precisely matches your individual skin and hair situation. Without compromise. That's why we use four different technologies to help you on your way to smooth, hair-free skin.

In a direct comparison with conventional hair removal methods, our laser hair removal and needle epilation scores points for its long-lasting results with little effort. While shaving, waxing, sugaring & Co. always have to be repeated regularly - every week, every year, again and again and again! and often lead to unsightly results with injuries, skin irritation and ingrown hairs, our modern technologies from simplyhairless offer an incredibly effective and sustainable solution. Uncompromisingly beautiful smooth skin!
