Laser Razor Skarp: the near future or just another hoax?
Bashny.Net
Startup Skarp Technologies introduced on Kickstarter dream of all men older than 16 years, the Jedi, and some women - laser razor Skarp. Externally, the gadget is a normal machine, but without the blades. At the end of the head is a laser, which uses the method of hair removal IPL. It works on the principle of IPL epilators, most beauty salons. The device uses a flash tube generating high-intensity radiation in the wavelength range from 500 to 1200 nm. This allows you to remove hair, age spots and rejuvenates the skin.
The razor is made of 6061-alloy aluminum and is powered by a "mizinchikovoy" AAA batteries, which should last about a month. Fundraising for the Skarp last until 19 October, but now the startup raised $ 640,000, which is several times greater than the original amount and the number of pre-orders exceeded 4000. First Bakers had pre-ordered the razor, priced at $ 89, now the price has increased and amounted to 159 dollars. Set of two pieces can be purchased for $ 299, however, sending the first batches will only begin in March 2016.
But back to the device razor. Until now, many questions remain unresolved, and the date of commencement of sales in March, looks rather optimistic. And now about the principle of operation.
Hearing about photoepilation, laser hair removal and IPL, many people mistakenly believe that the hair disappear once and for all. In fact it's not. After the first treatment hair only "light up" and become thinner, so photoepilation are always whole courses. Okay, let's say in Skarp Technologies somehow constructed a laser removes hair instantly.
Immediately there is a new problem: the blond hair. Again we turn to technology IPL.
In the process of absorption epilation tissues such light amount at which they are destroyed. This process is called photothermolysis. As for hair color corresponds to the dark pigment (melanin), IPL the system tunes in to the wavelength that is best absorbed by melanin. If you can "catch" light the entire hair and heat, he will die completely if partially - Hair "survive", but would be weaker, lighter and thinner. But people with dark skin and dark hair, hair removal is not recommended: the device can damage the skin. And even more so this method is contraindicated in those with blond hair and / or dark skin. Effect either will not or can remain burns.
And developers Skarp initially understand the scale of the problem. However, after years of research, they still managed to allocate hairline chromophore element. Thanks to Wikipedia we learn that "the chromophores - unsaturated groups of atoms, causing the color of the chemical compound. At the same time absorbing electromagnetic radiation regardless of color. "It seems to be the issue resolved.
However, the forum Reddit, where Skarp Technologies share the results of their progress on any requests to provide data on the laser, its power, the materials used, and other important information, developers vaguely refer to "intellectual property" and assure that the device is patented.
On the one hand, a trade secret is an extremely important element, especially for a company that may have a breakthrough in science. But at least a few hints or video demonstration could be given to Baker. People are still investing money.
Демо-ролик we still saw. But after seeing there were skeptics who doubted the feasibility of the project. For example, many have noted the camera shake and "zamylennost" frames. The question is itself a razor: Video evident that the fiber through which a "cutting" the momentum is on the distance from the head of the machine. The developers claim that the final version of it will fit close, but so far it looks like a stretched wire, which is manually fed through the discharge at the right time. Skepticism and enhances the green light, which is ostensibly "to protect his eyes from the bright flashes." And while shaving with his eyes closed? Again, the test light skin and dark hair, but what about the blond hair?
Of course, I want to believe that what he saw - only disadvantages of the prototype. However, developers have more to say about the design of the device and its unique characteristics, not reinforcing said certainties. In the meantime, will have to wait and stock gel, foam, paper, and replaceable blades in case of cuts. Well, or electric razor.
