WHAT IS STRIP POWERPAC
TECHNOLOGY?
Exclusive to STRIP, Powerpac uses the patented Advanced Fluorescence TechnologyTM, the next generation semi-permanent hair reduction technology, that uses beams of specially filtered light to weaken the hair follicles, causing delayed hair growth and a percentage of hair to not re-grow at all.

WHAT ARE THE 3 KEY BENEFITS
OF STRIP POWERPAC?
STRIP Powerpac uses a 5cm crystal applicator head instead of the traditional 3cm one, ensuring more effective hair reduction over a wider area.
2
STRIP Powerpac is extremely comfortable as it uses a gradual heating system that emits energy via multiple passes to accumulate the desired energy level to destroy hair follicles. Ensures that the treatment is more comfortable and effective, and lowers the risk of burns drastically.
The standard mid-market machine used by most salons, however, utilises a direct heating system that emits sharp bursts of energy – making the treatment more painful and likely to burn. Causing a stinging and biting sensation compared to STRIP Powerpac that is akin to a warm and soothing hot stone massage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RETURN FOR TREATMENTS?
We recommend a course of 6 sessions with 4 – 6 weeks interval between each session.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
Hair reduction results can be observed after the first treatment and are more noticeable after 4 to 6 sessions. Depending on individual and body area, some may require maintenance treatments.
CAN MY HAIR BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED?
It is not possible to achieve permanent hair removal as our body will continually repair the damaged hair follicles. Therefore we can only promise semi-permanent hair reduction.
WHAT BODY AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
Almost any area of the body: legs, bikini line, back, underarms, arms, upper lips and etc.
IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?
Yes, it is safe, though some may experience mild redness and swelling of the treatment area for day or so, other complications are rare. The machine Strip uses light energy to the skin very gently, and the handpiece uses a unique cooling system to extract heat from the skin for maximum protection with each pulse of light.
