The
Palomar STARLUX™ System |
The Palomar Starlux is a platform that allows
for the delivery of different laser and intense pulse light treatments. View before and after photos |
| The Lux G is an intense pulse light system (a blend of wavelengths
that are selectively absorbed by pigmentation and unwanted blood
vessels) that is excellent for skin tone removing sun spots, melasma,
telangiectasias, and reducing the background redness of rosacea.
These Photofacials result in a substantial improvement in overall
skin appearance and tone dramatically improving the appearance.
The Lux 1540 is a fractionated resurfacing technique that can accomplish many of the benefits that were previously only attainable with substantial tissue damage and destruction. It utilizes an array of high precision microbeams, which create deep columns within the epidermis and dermis. These result in collagen stimulation, skin tightening and resurfacing of the skin with little or no downtime. Fractionated resurfacing is the newest and most exciting advance in skin rejuvenation. |
| Below is a general description for two
specific treatments : removing unwanted pigmented lesions and unwanted
hair: Removal of Pigmented Lesions: Intense Pulsed Light sends light through the skin to target the undesirable tissue, and leaves the surrounding tissue unharmed. The process is gradual and, therefore, more gentle than traditional laser therapies. The Palomar system targets red or brown skin cells and destroys them while leaving the surrounding lighter cells unharmed. The lesion darkens and crusts after treatment, and is naturally sloughed off the skin within two weeks. During this process, collagen production is stimulated, rejuvenating the skin, shrinking pores, and filling in fine lines and indentations. The result is healthier, more vibrant, younger looking skin. Removal of Unwanted Hair: The Palomar STARLUX™ System works by emitting pulses of intense lamp-light 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 follicular cells responsible for growing new hair. Pulsed light hair removal treats hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, so usually 6 treatments may be needed to disable all the hair follicles. It is effective in treating larger areas because it removes more than one hair at a time. Most hair removed with the Palomar STARLUX System will not grow back for months, while other hairs may not grow back at all. Hair that does grow back may be thinner and lighter in color. Unlike traditional laser hair removal, our advanced StarLux Pulsed Light system is available for hair removal of all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest. The Palomar System also treats many other skin conditions including:
