Hair Removal

Permanent hair reduction through pulsed light is a fast, comfortable, and permanent alternative to other hair removal methods.

Shaving is a daily nuisance.
Waxing is painful and only a short-term solution.
Chemical depilatories are messy, harsh and temporary.
Electrolysis is impractical and time-consuming for large areas.

THE PULSED LIGHT HAIR REMOVAL ALTERNATIVE

Palomar Pulsed Light Systems offer a solution for unwanted hair that is:

Permanent - Concentrated pulses of light loosen the hair and disable the cells responsible for new hair growth.
Fast - Small areas, such as the underarms or upper lip, can be treated in 10 minutes or less, and even large areas, like the back or legs, can be treated in under a half hour.
Comfortable - Various cooling methods keep the light pulses mild and skin-safe, allowing for more comfortable treatments than electrolysis and waxing.
Convenient - Unlike waxing, there is no need to let hair grow out between treatments. You can remain hair free all the time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED HAIR REMOVAL QUESTIONS

How does Palomar pulsed light work?: Palomar Systems use specialized hand pieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair reduction, sunspot removal, and acne treatment.

The Palomar hair removal handpiece emits pulses of light 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.
How is Palomar pulsed light different from laser?: Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.
What body areas can I get treated?: Any area, except directly around the eyes. The upper lip, face, neck, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest and back can all be treated.
What are Palomar treatments like?: Your treatment provider will move the handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed.
What should I expect after treatment?: Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.

The treated hair will continue to appear for 7-30 days post treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin.

At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Therefore you will need more than one treatment.Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.
Other Palomar Treatments: In addition to hair removal, we offer photo rejuvenation treatments for wrinkle reduction, leg veins, sun damage, acne, rosacea, age spots, and spider veins.
