"Therapists using hair removal devices need to exercise caution when making claims about efficacy of their services. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that no laser devise has been cleared to "permanent" hair removal, while laser hair removal
device manufacturers have also been restricted from claiming that the laser hair removal procedure is painless, that the results are long term, unless or until the FDA determines that there
is sufficient data to demonstrate such results"
- L600 Approval Number K030480.
The L600 is a non-coherent light base device designed for photo thermal removal of unwanted hair of the face and body in skin types 1 to 4 through selective targeting of melanin in the hair shaft attached to the follicle. The L600 is intended to effect permanent hair reduction.
According to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), permanent hair reduction is defined as a long term and stable reduction
in the number of hair follicles re-growing after a treatment regime. Any regrowth must be stable over time & greater than the duration of
the complete growth cycle of hair follicles according to body location.
