FREQUANTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is ADENA Hair Reduction?
Patented in France and invented by doctors and scientists this advanced and computerised salon device filters our harmful ultraviolet light and infrared wavelengths ensuring a safe progressive hair removal system. 

How does it work?
Pulses of intense lamp light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The absorption heats the hair shaft and the energy is transmitted to the hair follicle. This results in the follicle being heated to a temperature of 70 degrees for a millisecond. The hair follicles are destroyed by each flash; the hairs then fall out in two to three weeks – all without damaging the surrounding tissue.

How many sessions are required?
The Adena Plus can only treat hairs in the growth phase. Approximately 20% of all hairs are in their growth phase at any one time. Certain “resting” hairs can also become active due to age and hormonal modifications. Other factors include hair colour and thickness. Everyone is different and several (an average of 4) sessions may be needed. After that, only one or two annual maintenance sessions are recommended. 

Does it give permanent results?
Yes! Most hair will not grow back at all whilst other hair may grow back thinner and lighter. The Adena Plus is the hair management system preferred by over 2000 salons and clinics worldwide! It is virtually painless and provides lifetime results. You will wonder why you waited so long!

What areas and skin types can be treated?
Any areas of the face and body can be treated with pulse light. The darker the hair the richer the melanin and the better the result. The Adena Plus is the only machine in the world that also removes fine, white, blonde, grey and red hair. 

Does it hurt?
For most people there is virtually no pain. The feeling of the treatment is extremely variable from one person to the next. It depends on the concentration of melanin in the skin and the size and density of the hair. 

What should I expect after treatment?
In most cases, there are no visible effects. Therefore the treatment does not interfere with normal activities. Redness could appear of the skin indicating successful treatment. Hair is detached from its nourishment but it still remains in its sheath during the renewal of the epidermis (peeling). A light exfoliation 10-15 days after the session can speed up the rate at which the hair falls out.

Why choose adena Hair Removal?
Adena hair removal is a great option for long term and large area removal and recommended by health professionals all over the world. You’ll need a minimum of 4 treatments because each of the hairs on your body goes through three stages in its lifecycle and you can only neutralise a hair in the active phase. At any one time only a maximum of 20% of the hairs on your body are in that phase which is why we recommend at least 4 treatments.

Once you’ve completed the treatment cycle you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth skin with only an occasional maintenance treatment. Compare that to the cost of lifetime waxing! 

Can all hair be treated?
the unique design offers you customised treatments according to your hair colour, texture and body location. Any hair (black, brown, red, grey, white and blonde) can be treated effectively. The new patented technology is specifically designed for the Adena.
