The most advanced non-invasive, cosmetic technology available
for skin rejuvenation and removal of imperfections caused by age, sun, scars and genetics. Using advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light) system, light energy is delivered through the skin removing facial redness, broken capillaries, erasing pigmented freckles
& brown spots, evening skin tone and minimizing fine lines

The
Palomar Pulsed-Light-Systems ( PLS ) work by emitting pulses of intense lamplight 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.
Traditional waxing and threading treatments, which essentially rip the hair from the skin, can be quite painful.
Most people, however, find the PLS to be significantly more comfortable. In addition, since the pulses of light penetrate
the skin, you do not need to let your hair grow out before you are treated. With PLS treatments, you can remain virtually
hair-free all the time!
Thanks to its advanced, technology, PLS system works several times faster than other
light-based hair removal systems. A woman's legs or a man's back can be treated in less than thirty minutes, and smaller areas
– such as the underarms, upper lip or bikini line - can be treated in even less time!
Most Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What Body Areas Can Be Treated?
A.
Any area, except around the eyes. The underarms, legs, back, bikini line, face, neck, etc. can all be treated fast and effectively.
Q. What Are The Treatments Sessions Like?
A. Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move a wand-like
handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that disables the hair follicles. Most people perceive the light as
a gentle "snapping" sensation.
Q. What Should Most People
Expect After Treatment?
A. Most people experience some mild redness
and tenderness in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides
within a day.
Q. How many sessions are needed?
A. It takes approximately 5-7 treatments in an area to affect all of the follicles, because hair
grows in cycles. Follicles which have been effectively treated during a given session will shed their hair approx. 1 week
after the treatment. Each treatment results in further hair growth reduction.
Q.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
A. You can permanently reduce the amount
of hair you have in the areas you have treated. Because everybody is different and biology and hormone levels change,
with time some new hair follicles may form but the hair that was previously removed won’t grow back. For many
clients, hair re-growth is slight and for some may never happen.
Q.
How often are the sessions scheduled?
A. This varies depending on the
type of hair and the location. In general, the first few treatments are performed in 4-8 week intervals.
Q. Will Laser Hair Removal work for me?
A. Due to the fact that a laser targets melanin, the more melanin an individual has in his/her hair, the more
effective a laser will be. Therefore, someone with gray, red, or blonde hair is not as good a candidate for laser hair removal.
In addition, the more melanin in your skin, the darker it looks. Since the laser does not distinguish
between melanin in hair and melanin in skin, the more melanin present in the skin, the more the laser is going to target the
skin rather than the hair. Therefore, someone with darker skin is not as good a candidate for laser hair removal.
Light skin and dark hair are the best combination for laser hair removal. The more closely an individual's
skin tone matches his/her hair color, the less likely he/she is to benefit from laser hair removal.
