Excess HairIf you are a man or a woman and have excess or unwanted hair, the new advanced
laser hair removal is the approach to beautiful skin. The process is simple and
faster than any other treatment available. It gives you longer lasting results
than any other hair removal method.
How does the process work?
To better understand the process, you need to understand hair growth. Many
factors influence the growth of hair, such as age, weight, ethnicity and
medications. Hair also grows in cycles and that is why it is hard to predict
how many treatments the individual will have in order to achieve the best
effects.
Laser hair removal is achieved by passing the laser light over the treated area. This process ensures easy treatment
of large areas at one time without great discomfort
Is the laser hair removal permanent?
Laser actually slows the process of growth by disabling the hair follicles.
The best results are achieved with multiple treatments (usually three
treatments). You can have a significant regrowth of hair within one year period.
Is the laser hair removal similar to electrolysis?
No, the laser procedure is much faster and significantly less painful in
comparison to electrolysis. It could be compared to a rubber band snapping
or a warmth sensation. Each of us is different, however some areas are more
sensitive than others.
Advance laser technology gives you the reassurance of hair removal that
is convenient, fast, effective, and safe. When talking about safety,
the YAG laser has been used by physicians for about ten years without any
major long term side-effects.
Now you can feel confident having smoother and silkier skin.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Q:
What body areas can I get treated?
A:
Any area, except around the eyes. The underarms, legs, back, bikini
line, face, neck, etc., can all be treated...fast!
Q:
What are the treatment sessions like?
A:
Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment will
consist of a wand-like hand piece moved over your skin. The hand piece
emits a light that disables the hair follicles. Most people perceive the
light as a gentle "snapping" sensation. Once this is completed
the treatment provider will wipe away any loose hair from your skin, and you're
ready to go.
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. In some cases, the redness may last longer,
but will still be mild and temporary. Your treatment provider will explain
other, less likely side effects to you.
Q:
What is the difference between laser and pulsed-light treatments?
A: Pulsed-light
systems and lasers are very similar and remove hair in basically the same
way. However, the Palomar EsteLux uses a new technology that removes hair
up to ten times faster than lasers. EsteLux pulsed-light treatments can
fit even the busiest person's schedule.

Palomar
EsteLux
Permanent
Hair Reduction
At
unparalleled speed the Palomar EsteLux is the laser of choice for our hair
removal treatments. Fast, efficient treatments are the result; we can
treat a man's back or a pair of legs in under 30 minutes, and a smaller area,
such as the underarms, in even less time.
Long-Lasting
Results
Pulsed-light
systems work by emitting pulses of intense lamp light in the hair
follicles. The list is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and
converted to heat. The heat them loosens the hair and disables the cells
responsible for growing new hair. The EsteLux's multiple hand pieces offer
a variety of treatment options, such as permanent hair reduction on all skin
types.
Comfortable
Hair Management
Traditional
waxing and threading treatments, which essentially rip the hair from the skin
can be quite painful. Most people, however find the EsteLux 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 EsteLux treatments, you can remain virtually hair-free all
the time!
Super-Fast
Treatments
Thanks
to its advanced, technology, the Palomar EsteLux System works several time
faster than other light-based hair removal systems. A woman's legs or a
man's back can be treated in under 30 minutes, and a smaller area, such as the
underarms, upper lip or bikini line -can be treated in even less
time.
