Applisonix’s innovative approach to ultrasound technology inspired the development of IMPRESA™ – IMmediate, PREcise, and Selective Acoustics
The IMPRESA™ technology utilizes the hair and the skin characteristics to make the hair serve as an accurate and efficient ultrasonic waveguide. An ultrasonic head is used to focus the acoustic energy directly into the hair shaft, channeling ultrasound energy precisely to the hair root, where the energy is converted into heat. As a result, the hair root`s temperature rapidly exceeds the level that is required to cause long-term damage to the hair’s re-growth mechanisms. Since the energy is accurately applied through the hair shaft, the surrounding skin is not affected. IMPRESA™ is applicable to all hair colors and skin tones, engaging negligible pain (if any), and it can be used safely for almost all body areas.
IMPRESA™ technology is used in Applisonix’ hair removal device for professional use.
Is the applisonix treatment painful?
The applisonix treatment is virtually pain free as the ultrasound waves do not dissipate in to the surrounding skin tissue which contain the main pain receptors . thereby the treatment can be carried out on even the most sensitive areas .
Can white hair be treated ?
Unlike laser hair removal all colour hairs can be treated as the ultrasound technology does not rely on the colouring ( melanin ) in the hair to be effective . applisonix is even effective an real fine downy hair which was previously not treatable .
Does it matter what colour skin I have ?
Irrespective of the colour of your skin , you are suitable for applisonix treatments as the skin is not effected . applisonix technology can even be used on pigmented areas , like the areola (nipple) area and on mucous areas (nose hair , ear hair ..etc )
Can I be treated if I have a suntan in the treated area ?
Yes unlike laser you can be treated as the surrounding skin is unaffected
Can I be treated if I am on photosensitizing medication ?
Yes unlike laser you can be treated as the surrounding skin is unaffected
What is the percentage of hair reduction after treatments?
In controlled clinical studies an average of 39% hair reduction has been achieved after the second treatment
How many treatments does it take to permanently remove a hair?
Treated hair in the anagen phase should not re-grow following a single session. New growing hairs (previously not in anagen) will need to be retreated.
How many treatments is required for each area ?
In general a course of 6 to 8 treatments is required to catch each hair in its anagen phase (growing phase ) After this course of treatments , you periodically you may require a top up treatment to treat semi dormant hairs which only come in to anagen on an annual basis .
Are the results permanent ?
Long-term results are dependent on genetics, hormones and medications which can induce hair growth .
What is the recommended interval between treatments?
Typically an interval of 4 weeks is recommended l. Your applisonix certified therapist can advise you personally more accurately on this following your initial consultation.
Is applisonix better than laser ?
Applisonix technology has a number of advantages over laser technology because of the characteristics of ultrasound energy and the way it is applied by IMPRESA™. The efficacy is expected to be similar to that of light-based solutions, but unlike such solutions it is not limited to the combination of dark hair and light skin. Due to the selectiveness of the energy transfer, safety is expected to be significantly better and pain significantly lower.
What is the recommended interval between treatments?
Usually, 2-3 weeks are required for some of the hairs to grow back in the treated area, which makes it the common
interval. It is recommended to use the interval time according to the treatment table. Shorter intervals may be used if desired.
Applisonix is a breakthrough in hair removal for all hair colours including white, blonde and grey hair. Suitable for all skin colours.
