	Linda Briggs researched hair removal for her cosmetic surgery patients to find the best on the market. Plasmalite offers Permanent, pain free, hair removal. (Kills growing hair follicles) It works because the spectrum of light used is filtered into a red light, which works more effectively on hair and does not cause the pain that occurs with some lasers. And it works on all skin types. The Plasmalite hair removal system works by targeting the melanin that is found naturally in the hair shaft and hair follicle. It has been shown in clinical trials that the red light is preferentially absorbed by the melanin. Each pulse of red light causes the temperature within the hair shaft and hair follicle to rise. Once the temperature reaches about 70+ degrees F, the proteins in the cells denature and each active hair follicle dies, its ability to re-grow destroyed.

Most people need between 5 and 8 treatments although this varies depending on the density and location of the hair growth and Linda has found that some people are happy with 3 treatments. Blonde hair can be removed, but it takes longer to notice that it is working. Those having had electrolysis before Plasmalite treatment will be convinced that they have more hair after the first treatment. This is a direct result of the electrolysis slowing down the hair growth and it not being in the right condition to be killed at the first treatment.

The experience of having hair removal treatment with this system, is at the worst, like a bee sting but it is generally free from discomfort. The machine can be set to take into account the colour and thickness of the hair and also skin type. All skin types can be treated with Plasmalite.

There are some rules that have to be followed if you want a good result from the treatment. The hair must not have been treated with waxing, bleaching or electrolysis for at least six weeks before removal treatment. It's best to just leave the hair but shave it regularly if necessary. It must be 1mm long at the time of treatment. Do not treat the hair other than by shaving after the treatment or you will have wasted your money. Skin must be kept moisturised and covered with an SFP cream, before, during and after treatments.
