 In the past, people suffering from unwanted body hair have turned to such treatments as depilatories and waxing, which cover large body areas but have temporary results, or to electrolysis, which provides permanent results, but is very impractical on large body areas. Happily, there is now a solution for unwanted hair, which delivers permanent hair reduction on large body areas: Pulsed Light Treatment with the Palomar Pulsed Light System. The system removes unwanted hair by delivering a pulse of intense light directly into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. Hair Removal Before and After Pics
Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers in that they both use an intense beam of light, but pulsed light is able to treat much larger areas in a shorter span of time. For example, a man’s back or a pair of legs can be treated in less than 30 minutes. Smaller areas, such as the underarms, can be treated in even less time. And unlike waxing and electrolysis, pulsed light treatment is typically performed with minimal discomfort.
Pulsed Light Treatment can also be used to remove pigmented lesions. We can treat sundamaged skin, freckles, age spots, and other pigmented lesions with the Palomar RejuveLuxTM Process. RejuveLux uses quick and effective photofacial treatments to remove these lesions, while improving skin tone and texture.

Laser Hair Removal is a safe, fast and effective way to remove hair permanently. Popular with both men and women, laser hair removal can be used to treat most parts of the body.
The area to be treated should have about 1 - 2 days growth of hair. No waxing, electrolysis, or plucking should be done 4 - 6 weeks prior to treatment. If you are tanned, it is best to delay treatment until your tan is gone. Darker skin types may require a skin bleaching cream before beginning treatment. The GentleLASE is an alexandrite laser system with a dynamic cooling process for increased comfort. This protects the skin by cooling it while treating the unwanted hair effectively. The laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. Shedding of the hair occurs over the next several weeks. Laser hair removal requires several treatments due to hair growth cycles. The number of treatments depends upon your hair type and color. |
