Permanent IPL Hair Removal (Anthelia — incl. Light & Grey Hair)

Permanent hair reduction at AMEM Zlín on the IPL Anthelia (Eurofeedback) — a French medical platform with 15 world patents whose standout claim is effectiveness on light and grey hair, which standard diode lasers and IPLs cannot treat because they rely purely on dark melanin. The clinic treats every zone from upper lip (1,000 Kč) to full legs (7,800 Kč), with transparent per-area pricing and a 30% discount on the smaller zone when combining areas in one visit. Light pulses heat the follicle in its active growth phase and disable it permanently; because only ~20–30% of follicles are in that phase at any time, a course of sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart is needed for lasting smoothness.

Light-based epilation permanently disables hair follicles by selective photothermolysis: pulse energy absorbed in the follicle converts to heat that destroys the germinative cells responsible for regrowth. **The grey-and-blonde difference:** Conventional laser and IPL epilation requires dark pigment in the hair shaft to capture the light — leaving blonde, red, white and grey hair untreatable. The Anthelia platform AMEM uses advertises efficacy on dark, light and grey hair, making it one of the few options for clients whose facial or body hair has lightened with age, or who were turned away from standard laser studios. Treatment of mixed-colour zones (typically the chin and upper lip in mature clients) is a particular strength. **The growth-cycle logic:** Follicles cycle through anagen (growing, vulnerable), catagen and telogen (resting, resistant) phases. Each session permanently disables the follicles currently in anagen — roughly a fifth to a third of the zone. Sessions repeat every 4–8 weeks as resting follicles re-enter growth; most zones need 6–10 sessions for thorough permanent reduction, with hormonal areas (face, intimate zone) at the higher end and occasional annual maintenance. **Zones and pricing:** Everything is published per session — facial zones from 800–2,800 Kč, underarms 2,100 Kč, bikini-to-intimate combinations 2,300–4,200 Kč, abdomen 1,500–2,800 Kč, arms 3,400 Kč, chest and back zones 2,800–6,300 Kč, legs 3,600–7,800 Kč, and money-saving multi-zone combinations up to 10,800 Kč. Combining areas in one visit earns 30% off the smaller zone. **The session:** zone shaved (hair shaft must be at skin level), gel applied, systematic pulses across the area — sensation is brief warm snaps. No downtime; mild follicular redness settles in hours. **Contraindications:** fresh tan or self-tanner (4 weeks clear required), photosensitising medication, pregnancy, active skin infection in the zone, tattoos within the treated field are masked and skipped.
