What effect does the hair growth cycle have on light-based hair removal?
Every hair on our body goes through the three phases of the hair growth cycle: ana-
gen, catagen and telogen. These phases have a significant influence on how effective
the light-based hair removal is.
Anagen is the hair growth phase, while catagen is the transitional phase and telogen
is the resting phase.
Anagen – growth
Although the duration of a complete hair growth cycle differs from person to person
phase
and depends on the area of the body the hair is gro-
wing on, the cycle generally lasts 18 – 24 months. At
any given time, the majority of the hair follicles on an
area of skin are in the resting phase. The beurer Velvet
Skin Pro can have no effect on these resting hairs.
However, the hairs in the anagen growth phase res-

With the beurer Velvet Skin Pro, safety is the top priority
• IPL technology with the beurer Velvet Skin Pro – the highest level of safety with a lower level of
energy
Thanks to Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, lasting hair removal results can be achieved with a
mere fraction of the energy used by other light-based hair removal devices. The low level of energy
used in the beurer Velvet Skin Pro reduces the potential risk of damage or complications and contri-
butes to your general safety.
The beurer Velvet Skin Pro is a light-based device for lasting hair removal for pri-
vate use. The hair removal process based on laser and light is a well known and
proven method. In 15 years of clinical applications around the world, it has pro-
ven to be a safe and effective method for achieving lasting hair reduction.
How does the light remove the hair?
Light-based hair removal is founded on the principle of selective photo-
thermolysis, which uses optical energy to deactivate hair growth. To achieve such
a thermal effect, the hair shaft must selectively absorb the light energy and con-
vert it into heat.
This selectivity is achieved when the optical energy that is released into the tissue
is mainly absorbed by the pigment of the hair shaft, while the skin and the sur-
rounding tissue remain cool. Melanin is the pigment in the hair shaft that is res-
ponsible for absorbing the light and generates the heat that ultimately deactiva-
tes hair growth. Therefore, the more melanin present in the hair (i.e. the darker the
hair), the more light can be absorbed and the more effectively the light can work
for the hair removal.
