Traditional hair removal methods such as waxing and shaving have limited effect, requiring continued maintenance. Also laser hair removal may damage the skin leaving it inflamed and sore for some time after treatments.

The benefits of the ‘Palomar Lux’ pulsed light hair removal include:

• being performed quickly and easily
• using highly effective contact cooling
• employing wide smooth pulse technology
• ensuring long lasting results

All areas can be treated including:

• underarms
• legs
• back
• bikini line
• face (except around the eyes)
• neck

Pulsed-light systems work by emitting pulses of intense lamp-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.

What to Expect

Thanks to advanced technology, Palomar’s pulsed light systems work several times faster than other light-based hair removal systems. A woman’s legs or a man’s back can be treated in under thirty minutes, and small areas – such as underarms, upper lip or bikini line – can be treated in even less time. Since all the hairs do not grow at the same rate and are thus not in the same phase at the same time, in certain cases somewhere between 4 to 8 treatments (on average) may be necessary in order to achieve a desired result.

Examples of the treatment results are shown below:
