pulsed light hair removal



The Palomar® Pulsed Light Hair Removal system is a revolutionary new way of removing small and large areas of unwanted hair, especially on the legs of women and the back of men. Unlike painful electrolysis or waxing, the Palomar Pulsed Light Hair Removal system is comfortable and safe. The Palomar Pulsed Light Hair Removal System is unique in that it uses light energy to disable or destroy hair follicles, the part of hair responsible for growth. Because more than one hair is targeted at a time, the Palomar Pulsed Light Hair Removal System is perfect for treating large areas of unwanted hair, and it can be used on most skin tones.


WHAT IS PULSED LIGHT HAIR REMOVAL?

Pulse Light Hair Removal is a safe and effective laser hair removal procedure. Pulse Light involves pulses of light that are directed 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 DOES PULSED LIGHT WORK?
