How Philips' Intense Pulsed Light
technology works
Hair growth
Hair growth rates differ from person to person,
depending on age, metabolism and other factors.
However, everyone's hair normally grows in 3 phases.
1 Growing phase (anagen phase)
The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase
the concentration of melanin is highest. Melanin is
responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.
Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for
the efficacy of this method. Only hairs in the growing
phase are susceptible to treatment with light.
2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)
Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the
hair sheds.
3 Resting phase (telogen phase)
The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds.
The follicle remains at rest until the biological clock
tells it to become active again and grow a new hair.
