Instructions & User Guides

Compatibility Guide

When it comes to laser hair removal, compatibility is a significant factor to consider. 

Unlike some other hair removal methods like IPL, the ViQure EpiPro is designed to be suitable for all skin types and body types, offering a professional-grade treatment experience.

This advanced device targets hair follicles effectively while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. In the following section, we will explore the compatibility of the ViQure EpiPro in more detail, considering various factors such as skin type, hair color, and other individual variables. 

Understanding the broad range of compatibility offered by this device can help you make informed decisions about your hair removal journey.

Skin Type Compatibility

Understanding your skin type is crucial when considering diode laser hair removal. The Fitzpatrick scale is commonly used to classify different skin types based on their response to sunlight and melanin production. The scale ranges from Type I (very fair skin) to Type VI (deeply pigmented dark skin).

The Fitzpatrick scale categorizes individuals based on their skin's reaction to UV exposure, tanning ability, and susceptibility to sunburn. It helps determine the appropriate treatment parameters for laser hair removal.

Diode laser technology has shown effective results across various skin types. Lighter skin types (Type I and II) typically require higher fluences and shorter pulse durations to achieve optimal hair removal results.

On the other hand, darker skin types (Type IV, V, VI) necessitate lower fluences and longer pulse durations to avoid surface skin injury while targeting the underlying pigmented hair follicles.^{[16, 17]}

ViQure EpiPro is designed to accommodate all skin types efficiently and safely. The device's user-friendly interface includes photos representing Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI. Users can easily select their skin tone, and the system automatically adjusts the settings accordingly.

It's worth noting that diode laser technology, including the 805 nm wavelength used in ViQure EpiPro, has demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency in hair removal for mixed-race patients.^[23]

While treating darker skin types presents certain challenges due to competition from epidermal melanin, the use of longer pulse durations allows for the delivery of higher fluences with acceptable postoperative complications. 

For individuals with mixed race or skin tones between categories, choosing the closest option is recommended. However, if in doubt, selecting the darker option can provide an extra level of caution.

Here are some user tips for enhanced efficacy and comfort with skin color compatibility:

1. Ensure proper skin tone selection – When using the ViQure Laser, choose the appropriate skin tone option from the provided photos on the interface. This ensures that the device automatically adjusts the settings for optimal treatment results.
2. Choose the closest Fitzpatrick skin tone option – For individuals with mixed race or shades in between the Fitzpatrick skin tone categories, it is recommended to select the closest option available on the device's interface. If you find yourself unsure, it's generally safer to err on the side of caution and select the slightly darker option. This helps to ensure that the treatment parameters are adjusted to a level suitable for your skin tone. Remember, it's always important to prioritize safety and choose settings that minimize adverse reactions while still providing effective hair removal results.
3. Conduct a patch test – Before starting the treatment, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin. This helps to assess how your skin responds to the laser and determine the ideal energy level for your comfort.
4. Start with lower energy settings – If you have darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick Type IV, V, or VI), begin with lower energy settings and gradually increase if tolerated. This approach minimizes the risk of surface skin injury while effectively targeting hair follicles.
5. Adjust for varying skin tones across your body – When treating areas with uneven skin tones, such as in the armpits or bikini area, it is recommended to adjust the energy level accordingly. Start with a lower energy setting for darker areas and gradually increase it if necessary. This approach helps to ensure effective hair reduction while minimizing the risk of skin discomfort or irritation. Remember to always prioritize your comfort and adjust the settings based on your individual tolerance and skin response.
6. Stay consistent with treatment intervals – For best results, follow the recommended treatment intervals. Consistency in treatment sessions allows the laser to target actively growing hair follicles, leading to more effective hair reduction over time.
7. Use the device in a well-lit room – Adequate lighting in the treatment area ensures accurate targeting of hair follicles. It also allows for better skin visibility and reduces the chances of accidental exposure to nearby areas.

By following these tips, you can tailor your treatments to suit you, ensuring both efficacy and comfort throughout the process.

8. For full Brazilian – To ensure optimal results and safety, it is recommended to use lower energy settings when treating areas with darker skin tone and hair colors.

The ViQure EpiProstands out as superior body area compatibility compared to IPL devices. It offers an easy-to-use interface, precise targeting of various body areas, and adjustable settings that ensure optimal results even in darker areas of the body.

This is an incredible edge that make this one of the best diode laser hair removal at home.

Hair Color Compatibility, Density, & Thickness

Diode laser works by targeting the melanin pigment present in hair follicles. Melanin absorbs laser energy, which is then converted into heat, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting hair growth.

Diode lasers are most effective on dark, coarse hair due to their higher melanin content, as they absorb laser energy more efficiently. Lighter hair colors, such as gray, white, blonde, or red, have less melanin and require more treatment sessions in comparison to darker hair. However, advancements in technology have improved the efficacy of lighter hair colors compared to other laser or IPL devices.

Thicker, coarser hairs tend to respond better to laser hair removal as they have more melanin and provide a larger target for laser energy. Thinner, finer hairs may also require additional treatment sessions to achieve desired results, as they contain less melanin and are more challenging to target effectively.^[4]

The ViQure Laser is designed to effectively treat a wide range of hair colors and thicknesses. While it is most efficient on dark, coarse hair, it also offers improved results on lighter hair colors compared to other devices. The adjustable settings and customizable treatment options allow for optimized outcomes based on individual hair characteristics.

Tips on how to optimize results with regards to hair color and thickness:

• For dark, coarse hair -The diode laser is highly effective, and you can use the device at standard settings for optimal results.
• For lighter hair colors – Consider increasing the energy level or adjusting the treatment settings to ensure sufficient laser energy absorption.
• For thinner, finer hairs – It may be necessary to undergo additional treatment sessions or increase the energy level to effectively target these hairs.
• Consistency is key – Follow the recommended treatment schedule and avoid long intervals between sessions to ensure consistent and effective hair removal.

By considering hair color, density, and thickness, and applying these tips, you can optimize the results of your laser hair removal treatments with the ViQure EpiPro, achieving smoother and hair-free skin.

Treatment Plan & Frequency

To achieve effective and lasting results with laser hair removal, it is crucial to establish a well-structured treatment plan. 

The ViQure Laser offers a convenient treatment schedule with sessions spaced approximately once a month over 3-6 months, with follow-up sessions as needed. 

This treatment plan is similar to that of a professional laser hair removal procedure in clinics.

It provides optimal time for the laser to target hair follicles in different growth cycles and achieve significant hair reduction. 

This once-a-month interval sets the ViQure EpiPro apart from many IPL devices, which often require treatment sessions once a week. This extended interval offers convenience and flexibility in comparison.
