Unwanted hair can be an annoying burden. Shaving, depilatories, tweezing, and waxing may temporarily reduce unwanted hair but take time and are only temporary solutions.
Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution. A highly concentrated light beam penetrates each hair follicle, where pigment absorbs it and destroys it, thus stopping further hair growth.
Splendor X®
Shaving and waxing are common methods for temporarily eliminating unwanted body hair, yet these techniques often cause discomfort. Laser treatment offers an effective alternative that results in long-term, permanent reduction. The Splendor X(r) laser device offers fast and painless treatments for all skin types and colors.
Lumenis Splendor X is an advanced laser device that provides rapid repetitions of laser energy onto areas of unwanted hair growth, targeting melanin color in its shaft. With its square spot size and dual cooling system, this device is suitable for all skin types and colors (including tanned) including tan skin. Both options provide contact cooling directly onto the surface as well as cold air delivery over larger areas ensuring maximum comfort during treatment sessions.
As soon as laser light energy strikes unwanted hair, it converts into heat that destroys or damages its source: hair follicles. You may experience redness and swelling at first, which typically disappears within hours or days post treatment. Although Splendor X results are long-term, touch ups should still be scheduled once or twice annually to keep results looking their best.
Splendor X uses hybrid laser hair removal technology with Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, providing safe and effective hair removal for all skin types and colors. As the first laser with a square footprint and dual cooling systems for increased comfort, treatment can be performed both on the face and body – women often choose areas such as their underarms, chin, sideburns, bikini line legs and back for shaving; some men also choose chest and shoulders to reduce unwanted hair growth. With its versatility you can customize treatment to achieve optimal results; typically it takes 4-6 treatments with touch ups every 1-2 times annually for best results.
Safe
Laser hair removal uses light energy from a high-powered laser to selectively damage hair follicles and prevent unwanted hair growth, offering safe and long-term solutions. Treatment sessions are quick, comfortable and require minimal downtime – any new growth usually appears finer and lighter in color than before!
Before your laser session, you will be asked to refrain from waxing, plucking or tweezing the area being treated – this is because laser light needs to attach itself to hair follicles in order to treat them effectively. Shaving may still be done however; but make sure your razor is free of bacteria for optimal results. You will also be instructed to wear protective eyewear to safeguard them from laser’s bright light.
As part of treatment, you may experience a minor sensation that resembles shark-pricks on your skin. Though this is the most frequently reported discomfort experienced by patients, the sensation varies according to each individual and session length is determined by personal comfort level – depending on which symptoms have been identified as being of concern for each person, this number could range anywhere between one to five sessions depending on severity.
Before beginning treatment, a pre-procedure consultation will be conducted in order to ascertain your skin type and optimal settings for the laser. During your session, the laser will be passed over each area where unwanted hair exists on your body; after which, if needed, cooling gel may be applied to soothe the surface of your skin; or alternatively topical anesthetic may be added if your area is sensitive.
The Cynosure Elite+ is an innovative at-home device that works for all skin tones and types to deliver optimal results. Equipped with two lasers – 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG – that work at various wavelengths depending on your specific skin tone and hair color to deliver effective treatment, they help avoid unwanted pigmentation associated with older laser treatments that is commonplace nowadays.
This device features a large color touchscreen and is easy to navigate. Additionally, its safety features make it an excellent choice for home use; additionally, FDA certification has ensured rigorous clinical testing has taken place prior to release of this device.
Comfortable
Laser technology offers an effective alternative to shaving, depilatories, plucking and waxing which takes less time, costs less money, and only temporarily eliminates hair. After several treatment sessions most patients remain hair free for months or years before some thinner and finer hair grows back; most likely at an equal or lesser thickness than before.
Before your initial laser treatment, it is recommended to avoid creams that alter your skin tone as well as plucking or waxing for at least one month in order to expose all melanin present in hair shaft and follicle to laser. Furthermore, medications known to thin blood (aspirin and certain supplements) must also be avoided in order to maximize success of treatment.
On the day of your appointment, expect only minor discomfort from the laser’s light beams, which resemble pinpricks. Your technician may apply an ice pack briefly to reduce discomfort. Once your session has concluded, you can resume normal activities immediately.
Lumenis Elite+ is a hybrid laser hair removal machine equipped with BLEND X technology to offer fast, effective, and safe treatments for all skin types and tones. Combining 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths will achieve optimal results tailored to each unique skin type.
This combination ensures that both follicle and pigment are targeted by the laser’s light energy, making it easier for it to destroy them and prevent future growth. Furthermore, this approach is more efficient than other systems as it can treat darker complexions more effectively.
Laser light energy is absorbed by melanin and then converted to heat energy, which destroys the follicle and stops new hair growth. Since the laser can only target dark follicles, those with darker hair typically make better candidates for laser hair removal than people with blonde and strawberry-blond hair as it doesn’t present enough contrast between their follicles and skin for treatment by lasers.
Lumenis Elite+ features a dual cooling system to make treatments more comfortable, with both a cooled tip and air cooling capabilities. This helps protect skin during treatment to minimize side effects like swelling or redness that might arise as a result.
Effective
Unwanted hair can be an irritation when trying to maintain your figure or just feeling more confident in yourself. Traditional methods for eliminating unwanted hair include shaving, waxing, depilatories and plucking; these methods are inconvenient, time consuming and only produce temporary results. Laser hair removal offers an innovative long-term solution utilizing focused beams of light that use focused beams of light to permanently destroy unwanted growth of unwanted hair.
Light beams are absorbed by melanin present in hair, traveling down into its follicle and damaging its root so it cannot grow back. This technology is suitable for all skin types – even tanned or sun-kissed ones! For your comfort we will apply topical anesthetic prior to treatment as well as use a cooling system in order to make your experience as painless and comfortable as possible.
All laser hair removal treatments require multiple sessions as not all your unwanted hair will be in its same phase of growth at once. By performing multiple sessions of laser hair removal treatments, we can effectively rid ourselves of most unwanted hair. For optimal results we suggest six laser hair removal sessions as a series.
At one time, laser hair removal was out of the question for patients of darker skin tones due to concerns of hypopigmentation (the loss of color). Now with advances in laser technology, our Splendor X(r) device from Lumenis allows us to treat all skin tones safely and effectively.
This system is the world’s first hybrid laser hair removal technology, combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths with BLEND X technology for unrivalled power, speed, and coverage rate. It can remove more unwanted hair in less treatment sessions than existing systems while remaining safe for all skin tones (even sun-kissed areas).
At our practice, we employ a dual-cooling system to protect the surface of your skin and ensure that light energy absorbed by melanin rather than surrounding tissue – guaranteeing our clients have an enjoyable laser hair removal treatment experience. This innovative technology ensures maximum comfort during their sessions with us.
