Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Laser Hair Removal

IPL and Laser Hair Removal Simplified for Practitioners and Clients Alike.

The demand for intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal and laser hair removal treatments is at an all-time high. This is not surprising, when considering how painful and expensive traditional hair removal via electrolysis and waxing is. Light-based hair removal permanently reduces unwanted facial and body hair, with fewer treatments and more comfort than is possible with traditional procedures.

In the 1990s, Palomar^® pioneered permanent hair reduction after receiving the first FDA clearance for this procedure. Since then, Palomar lasers have been the industry standard that all other lasers have been compared with, and this has been validated by Palomar's strong patent positions. Lasers, although clinically effective, have limitations regarding skin color, hair color and hair thickness. Subsequent new technology developments from Palomar led to new, groundbreaking pulsed light technology that improved clinical outcomes over a broader client base.

Our IPL technology delivers specific wavelengths, with large spot sizes, superior contact cooling and smooth pulse technology for clients of all skin types, hair colors and finer hair. Palomar's pioneering, patented technologies have established the StarLux platform for hair removal treatments as the most versatile, effective and profitable device available.

We put our industry-leading research and development efforts behind the perfection of the procedure. Palomar's pulsed light handpieces are clinically proven to produce results as good as, if not better than those of gold-standard lasers for the removal of unwanted hair from all areas of the body, including the face, back, chest, leg, bikini line and underarm areas - with greater comfort and less downtime.

Our IPL and laser hair removal equipment make it easy for you to offer IPL and laser hair removal treatments for any skin type - including dark skin - in comfortable, cost-effective treatments with minimal risk and downtime.

"Although hair removal with commonly used [laser] systems is, as expected, highly effective, treatment with light-based devices can cause less pain, yet show efficacy similar to laser systems."
