FAQs
Q: What are the advantages of the Epilfree system compared with Laser or Electrolysis?
A: The Epilfree System is suitable for all hair types & colors; including red, blonde, grey and downy hair. There is no risk of skin damage that some people are prone to as a result of optical depilation procedures and there is no limitation on exposure to the sun after treatment. Treatments may be offered at a competitive price compared to more expensive laser & electrolysis, which allows it to be more accessible to more people. The Epilfree System doesn’t require a long-term commitment.
Q: Who can receive the treatments?
A: The treatment is intended for women and men of all ages. It can be used on any treatment area.
Q: How does Epilfree work to reduce/eliminate hair from the body?
A: Epilfree eliminates hair growth with two solutions that work in perfect synchronization with one another to open the hair shaft to allow the penetration of an activator that inhibits hair growth.
The Activator was developed with a high Ph in order to enlarge the pores and increase the hair shaft gate by 4 times. This causes the toner B to penetrate faster and deeper into the skin therefore to permanently affect the cell which is in dividing process. There are also important ingredients that keep the hair shaft hygienic.
The Toner (Inhibitor) was developed based on botanical knowledge and experience in order to affect the hair cell when it is in dividing process. The composition of the expertly chosen ingredients works on the live cells at the base of the hair shaft to render them incapable of producing any more hair growth. One of the ingredients in the Toner limits the amount of respiration activity to the dividing cell exclusively in the epidermis layer.
This action will affect the dividing cell only under the condition that the hair follicle is totally empty. The hair shaft, root seed have to be totally removed through the epilating process.
Q: Will Epilfree work on heavy hair growth areas on the body?
A: Yes, although treatment time may vary, especially in areas where hair growth is hormonally conditioned and therefore hair growth is repeatedly renewed. Treatment with Epilfree will soften & thin the hair as well as inhibit further hair growth.
Q: Who should not receive Epilfree Treatments?
A: Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Epilfree should not be used on skiin that is irritated or damaged. In most cases the appearance of reddening, red spots or rash is due to the use of wax and NOT the Epilfree solution.
Q: Is Epilfree FDA approved?
A: The ingredients used in Epilfree are determined to be safe and meet all the labeling & packaging requirements of FDA. Epilfree is safe to use on the skin with no reported side effects. Safety test documentation is available upon request.
Q: Why doesn’t Epilfree use Enzymes?
A: The active ingredients in Epilfree are target specific & unlike enzymes, they eradicate only the cells that are involved in the hair dividing process. Enzymes do not know how to differentiate, so they will kill all cells; hair growing or not. The natural ingredients help nourish the skin, not damage it. Unlike enzymes, the effectiveness of Epilfree remains stable & is not sensitive to the elements, so the results are more consistent and the shelf-life longer. Enzymes lose their effectiveness if exposed to heat & can be destroyed if not kept cold during transportation or storage.
Q: Can Epilfree be used with Electrolysis? How soon after & will it be effective?
A: It is not necessary to do both since they both have the same effect on the hair follicle, just done in two different ways.
Q: If an IPL is used to kill the follicle, can Epilfree be used as a follow-up treatment once the hair follicle has fallen out? Will it be effective?
A: No, because in many cases the IPL is partly melting the hair and doesn’t complete the follicle burn. In this case what left in hair shaft will block the way for Epilfree toner to penetrate and will not stop the division of the hair cell.
Q: Is there a specific treatment time/window that Epilfree can be used after either IPL or Electrolysis?
A: The main condition to treat with Epilfree is to have the hair long and strong enough to be pulled completely from the hair shaft in order to expose the new developing cell. There is no specific period requested from any other hair regrowth treatment.
