Distributed in Australia by Insight Aesthetics, the
EFB Rafale technology is made and manufactured in
France. In addition to working on all skin colours and hair
colours, it can also treat different hair thickness – while
ideal for medium to thick hair, it can also treat and remove
very thin hair.

The EFB difference
EFB IPL systems use unique technology developed
specifically for blonde, white, red and grey hair removal – to
be used on all skin colours. The IPL systems are unique in
that they do not rely only on the hair pigment to absorb the
light energy, meaning it can effectively target hair shades
not so rich in melanin.
During traditional dark hair photoepilation procedures, an
applicator head that emits high intensity flashes of filtered
light is placed on the treatment area. The energy from this
light is absorbed by the chromophore melanin, which is
responsible for hair pigment or colour. Dark hair, which is
rich in melanin, readily absorbs this light and transfers it as
heat into the surrounding capillaries, which supply blood to
the papilla of growing hairs. When the papillae are destroyed
in high temperatures, additional hair growth is prohibited.
What makes the EFB IPL systems different is that the
machines target the blood vessels at the bottom of the
follicle directly, preventing the growth of blonde, grey, white
and red hairs.
EFB has now become synonymous around the world
with blonde, red and white hair removal on the whole
spectrum of skin colour, offering a much-needed solution
to treating these traditionally difficult to remove hair colours
and skin types. It can also safely and effectively treat darker
complexions without risk of burning or hypopigmentation.
Now with the latest Rafale technology, permanent hair
reduction just became even more accessible to all. csbm
Rafale technology: the specs
The new Rafale Technology from EFB delivers a smooth
and continuous light with an energy ranging from 4J/cm²
to 6J/cm² at a much higher pace. Ideal for long-lasting
photoepilation of sensitive skin, the light is delivered on
a zone with a back, forth and back motion (three moves)
to progressively increase the temperature of the hair
bulbs and destroy them.
As opposed to traditional IPL technology and lasers
which typically warn against sun exposure four weeks
before the treatment, with the Rafale technology sun
exposure is no longer a contraindication and a treatment
can be performed 48 hours after sun exposure.
