I.O.S. method?

Has anyone heard of this? Is this good?

The special hairfree method is the result of modern research and technical development: The I.O.S. method. I.O.S. stands for Intelligent Optical Sapphire and marks a high modern photo Epilation procedure by which an exactly defined light is put on your skin through a pure sapphire-glass.
Without the use of damaging chemicals or - by incorrect use - dangerous laser and free from UV-radiations the hairfree I.O.S. method with the depositing of the filtered light impulses by the sapphire the physical capacity of the natural color pigment Melanin of each hair.
Light-energy is brought through to the hair-canal into the root of the skin and is changed into heat in the local follicle. The concentration of the light-energy from up to 40 joules per square centimetre on a spot-size of 8 mm x 40 mm promises the painless and lasting desolation of the active hair-follicles.
Exact analyses and adaption of use can precisely be adjusted to the needs of each skin and hair-growth. For a successfully permanent depilation hairfree considers age and colour of a skin as well as the thickness of the hair and the amount of individual hair growth. The result is the optimal effect with minimal expenditure of energie. By the integrated skin cooling of the hand-piece a hairfree treatment by I.O.S. method is without unpleasant sensation and also free from risks and side-effects.
Hairfree permanently frees you from undesirable hair and is so successful that world-wide cosmetic compartment-businesses use the I.O.S. method themselves.

Sounds like an IPL description.

It is IPL.

“The new IOS-system is based on 3 components: Intelligent: a computer-software calculates the needed energy. Optical: The [color:#FF0000]light-spectrum of 650-950nm [/color]is optimized for permanent hair removal. Sapphire-filter: Pure material, ideal controlled light-spectrum with integrated skin-cooling. With this system permanent hair-removal is much more safe - and can be performed on nearly any skin type!”

Hi Choice, is it better than Laser (Nd Yag)? There’s one clinic here offering the treatment but you have to pay in advance. It cost 69 Euros for one session for upper lips. The clinic that I go now for my treatment uses Gentle Yag machine and it costs only 39 Euros for one session and you pay as you go. So IOS should be better I guess.

By the way in IOS clinic you have to pay in advance of 8 treatment and it costs 69 Euros for one treatment while the other the clinic with Gentle Yag told me I would only need 4 to 6 treatments for 39 Euros, paid as you go.

No. An ND:Yag is a true laser and true lasers are more efficient than IPLs. Plus, IPLs have more potential for burns on darker skin. GentleYAG is a very good Yag. That’s as good as you’re going to get it.

Thank you LaGirl. Then I am glad I have my treatment with the second clinic.
