If you live with unwanted hair, sun damage, facial veins, leg veins, or acne, you may be surprised to find out that these conditions can all be treated with the same light-based technology.  It’s a tremendous advantage to both doctor and client to treat all of these conditions without having to use multiple devices or refer the client to other practitioners for additional treatments.

During treatment sessions, filtered light is directed onto the skin and is absorbed by a particular target or pigment depending on the treatment being performed. The light heats the pigment and disables the cells that produce the pigment, causing them to shrink and fade from view.

Laser Hair Reduction

If you live with unwanted hair on your back, legs, upper lip, or other areas, you may be surprised to find that you can find permanent relief to your problem through pulsed light hair removal. Pulsed light treatments are remarkable because they provide permanent hair reduction on large body areas with a minimum of discomfort.

With the Palomar Pulsed Light System, clients have experienced superior results after only a few treatments. Many different areas of the body can be treated with Pulsed Light hair reduction, including the face, neck, arms, legs, chest, back, axillae, and bikini line. Pulsed light treatments are exponentially more effective than such temporary solutions as shaving, waxing and using depilatories. They also have the flexibility to provide varied hair removal treatments on different types of skin and hair.

Photofacial Rejuvenation

If you live with sun damage (age spots) and visible veins on your face, chest, arms, and other areas, there is new hope for a rejuvenated appearance through light-based treatments. The Palomar RejuveLux™ Process employs pulsed light to perform the most effective photofacials available to treat both pigmented lesions and vessels safely and effectively, while improving skin tone and texture and alleviating some fine lines and wrinkles. The RejuveLux Process is accomplished with a Palomar Pulsed Light System.

As with other non-ablative skin resurfacing treatments for facial rejuvenation, a series of treatments is required to obtain the best results.  In addition, photofacials may be used in concert with alternating chemical peels and microdermabrasion to help maximize individual results.  Our pricing structure for facial treatments has been adjusted to allow for differences in the number of treatments needed, type of treatment, and the exact area to be treated.  We have prices for individual treatments as well as for packages of treatments.  In order for you to take advantage of the greatest discount, we recommend purchasing a package of treatments as the larger the number of treatments, the greater the discount.

Spider Veins and Vascular Lesion Treatment

Spider veins are tiny capillaries near the surface of the skin which can be red, blue or purple in color.  They are also known as telangiectasias.  Although these lesions can appear in many different locations, they are commonly seen on the cheeks, chin, and around the nose. 

Rosacea is inflammation and swelling of the face and can manifest in different ways.  Individuals can have redness on the cheeks, chin, nose, or forehead.  They may also have tiny visible blood vessels as described above. 

Using our state-of-the-art StarLux laser platform by Palomar we are able to treat many different vascular lesions, including spider veins, and rosacea.  The light is absorbed by the blood and shrinks the capillaries causing them to fade from view.

Facial Rejuvenation Treatments with Palomar Lux 1540 and 2950 Fractional lasers

Wrinkle Reduction

If the sun damage on your face has left fine lines, wrinkles, or extensive age or pigment spots, you may want to consider Fractional Skin Resurfacing with our Lux 1540 Fractional laser in order to maximize your facial rejuvenation. 

Treatments for Acne Scars and other Scars

Perhaps you had moderate to severe acne in the past or as a teen and are left with significant acne scarring.  If so, you may derive significant benefit from Fractional Skin Resurfacing with our Lux 1540 Fractional laser.  Lasers and pulsed light treatments can be used to lighten the color and dull the appearance of various types of scars.  Surgical scars become less distinct.  Acne scars appear more subtle. 

Treatment of Hyperpigmentation and Melasma

Lasers and pulsed light treatments can be used to lighten the color of scars and darkly pigmented lesions. With newer fractional technology we are now able to treat even the darkest skinned clients safely.  We also have various cosmeceutical products which can be used in concert with our laser and light-based treatments to treat the problematic areas of hyperpigmentation.  Melasma and pigmented lesions appear to lighten.

Stretch Mark Treatments

Stretch marks become less noticeable.   Since this is a non-ablative laser and leaves the skin intact, there is minimal, if any, downtime.  The procedure is quite comfortable and usually only requires application of an anesthetic cream to maximize the comfort.
