The principle of the Luminex involves the use of wide spectrum natural light filtered to remove Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) wavelengths. This Intense and Selective Light is directed at the melanin, the pigment contained in, among other things, the hair. After the treatment, virtually all the visible hairs (except white or red hairs) in the treated area then fall out in approximately twenty days.  The sessions are rapid, virtually painless and the results are 2 to 3 times more durable than a properly conducted wax treatment. Over the number of sessions, the number of hairs diminishes. The remaining hairs thin and their growth becomes slower and slower. Progressively, unsightly hairs in the treated area disappear. After this, only a maintenance session from time to time is necessary depending on the needs of the individual.
