For the last couple of months I've been experimenting with the Soprano XL laser hair removal treatment, and so far the results have been rather impressive. But despite my joy at the laser machine working wonders on my bikini line I'm aware that there is a large selection of women for whom laser hair removal is a forgotten dream- those with darker complexions who aren't suitable for treatment (though the Soprano laser can cope with some darker complexions) , and those who have red, white or blonde hair.
The reason these ladies generally can't undertake laser hair removal is to do with the way the laser banishes the hair. It's attracted to the dark pigment in the hair follicle, and targets this, destroying the hair follicle at the root.
Problem is the laser doesn't differentiate between dark skin and dark hair, so it's not suitable for women with darker complexions as it would leave them possibly scarred or with welts. People with light hair get an equally bad deal as the laser can't find anything to 'stick' to, till now.
Lipoxôme is a melanin encapsulated Liosome delivery system, which in layman's terms means it replicates the colour of darkened hair follicles, and coats the lighter hairs with a light stain, giving the laser something to be attracted to.
The laser can now lock on to the light hair follicles through this system, and target them and destroy them from the root, meaning redheads to blonde's can now be hair free. You might think people with such fair hair wouldn't worry about hair removal- but it's not just legs and arms- think upper lips and other embarrassing areas.
You can buy it online but I'd suggest you have a consultation with a trained laser specialist to discuss your options before you splash out. God to know they're making progress in this department though.
