Is IoNNiZ® registered with ANVISA?

Yes. IoNNiZ® has ANVISA registration No. 81405469003, as an aesthetic device, risk class II.

What sets it apart from other technologies?

It combines features that would normally require different devices, works on both the scalp and the hair fiber, and operates cold, with no thermal damage. This lets you build a protocol for each client.

Can it be used on all hair types?

Yes, including coily, weakened and chemically treated hair.

Does it work on dry or wet hair?

On both. The professional chooses according to the step of the protocol.

Use and safety

Who can use IoNNiZ®?

Qualified professionals, such as trichologists, scalp therapists and aesthetic professionals, following the device's instructions for use.

Does the procedure hurt?

No. The application is painless and does not heat the tissue.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on each case. The professional defines the protocol and the number of sessions at the initial evaluation.

Is recovery time needed?

No. The client goes back to their routine right after the session, but should avoid sun exposure.

Who cannot have the procedure?

IoNNiZ® must not be applied to pregnant women, people with epilepsy, people with pacemakers, clients with herpes labialis (cold sore) lesions, or to suspicious areas or areas with potentially cancerous tissue. If in doubt, the professional should consult a physician before the application.

Which products can be used?

IoNNiZ® can be used on its own or with cosmetics, lotions, hair masks and mesotherapy. Water-soluble, low-molecular-weight actives with a pH between 4.5 and 6.5 work best. Liposomal or nanoencapsulated actives also respond well.

Can I use products with alcohol?

Products with a pure alcohol base are not recommended, because alcohol conducts little electricity and can sensitize the scalp. Diluted in a water base, they can be used with caution. The training explains how.

Can I use masks, oils and butters with IoNNiZ®?

Yes, on the scalp and the hair shaft. Always prepare a blend with water, without applying the products pure: water helps propagate the ultrasonic waves and makes the application more efficient.
