How does it work?
Dynamic Pulse Control™ (DPC) technology is a powerful light-based technology that effectively targets the hair follicle without harming any other parts of the skin. During the treatment, the heat energy denaturizes the melanin in the hair follicle,
and as a result, that follicle cannot grow new hair.
Laser is directed to and absorbed by the melanin which heats the hair shaft. The heat then weakens or destroys the follicle all together. As a result the hair follicle detaches from the hair shaft. The hair sheds and without the follicle, hair cannot regrow in the area.
Q. WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
A. TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THE FIRST TREATMENT, YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE RESULTS AND LESS HAIR WILL GROW BACK. ADDITIONALLY, WITH EACH TREATMENT THE AMOUNT OF HAIR REGROWTH WILL DECREASE.
​
Q. HOW LONG DOES EACH TREATMENT TAKE?
A. TREATMENT TIME DEPENDS ON THE AREA BEING TREATED. SMALL AREAS TAKE APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, WHEREAS LARGER AREAS CAN TAKE UP TO 30 MINUTES.
​
Q. HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
A. THE TYPICAL REGIMEN IS 6-10 TREATMENT SESSIONS, SPACED 4-6 WEEKS APART
​
Q. WHY ARE MULTIPLE TREATMENTS NECESSARY?
A. ABOUT 20-25% OF HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES ON THE BODY ARE IN THE ACTIVE GROWTH PHASE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS THE PERCENTAGE OF HAIR FOLLICLES THAT CAN BE DESTROYED IN A SINGLE TREATMENT SESSION. IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE UP TO 90% OF THE HAIR, TREATMENTS SHOULD BE REPEATED UNTIL THE DESIRED RESULT IS ACHIEVED.
Q. WHAT DO THE TREATMENTS FEEL LIKE?
A. SHARPLIGHT'S DPC TREATMENTS ARE NON-INVASIVE AND SAFE. DURING THE PROCEDURE, THERE WILL BE A MOMENTARY SNAPPING SENSATION FELT AND WILL BE ADJUSTED TO YOUR COMFORT LEVEL. THERE WILL BE SOME DISCOMFORT DURING THE TREATMENT BUT NOTHING UNMANAGEABLE.

SKIN REJUVENATION
​
Skin rejuvenation with SharpLight™ systems gives a younger, glowing look to your skin. It simultaneously treats the three main elements of sun-damaged, environmentally-polluted and aging skin by coagulating blood vessels, eliminating pigmented spots and improving skin texture. Skin rejuvenation treatments are suitable for the face, neck, chest and hands; treating sun spots, small dilated blood vessels called telangiectasias; and skin textural changes such as fine lines, medium depth wrinkles and enlarged pores. There are no signs of skin irritation after the treatment. You can even do it over your lunch break.
