IPL Photo Facial
IPL Photo Facial
Photorejuvenation process uses pulsed light to treat pigmented and vascular lesions for overall improvement of skin tone. Pigmented Lesions include sunspots, age spots or liver spots. Actinic Bronzing is overall browning of the skin. Vascular Lesions include spider veins, tiny capillaries that appear near the surface of the face that may be red, blue or purple in color, and Rosacea, inflammation and swelling of the face. The Photorejuvenation Process is performed by Palomar Pulsed Light Systems. Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers but with a larger beam for wider coverage and faster, more comfortable treatments. During Photorejuvenation treatments, pulses of filtered light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin for pigmented lesions and by the blood for vascular lesions. PHOTOREJUVENATION PIGMENTED LESION TREATMENTS The Photorejuvenation light pulse is directly absorbed by the pigment in the lesion. The light heats the pigment and breaks it up. The lesion darkens and crusts after treatment and is naturally shed from the skin after approximately ten days. PHOTOREJUVENATION VASCULAR LESION TREATMENTS Photorejuvenation light pulses heat into the small capillaries that cause sunspots, age spots, Rosacea, and other vascular lesions. The heat shrinks these capillaries, which may redden or become gray after treatment. They then fade from view after approximately ten days. Multiple treatments are needed to achieve complete results. However, with each treatment, the results of IPL Photo Facials become more pronounced. Treatments spaced two to four weeks apart are normally required for optimal results.
IPL Hair Removal
IPL Hair Removal
IPL laser hair removal is a very popular method of hair removal. An IPL laser uses "intense pulsed light" to gently and safely remove hair on the face, legs, back, and bikini/pubic areas. The pulses of light focus their heat on the hair follicles, destroying them without burning or damaging the skin. IPL laser hair removal is quick and veritably painless. Side effects are few, but may include redness or swelling of the treated area; this should disappear rapidly. Good candidates for IPL laser hair removal will have lighter skin and darker hair, since IPL targets pigment in the hair follicles. Many people have experienced permanent hair removal with this method; if hair does grow back, it is often sparse and finer in texture.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Enjoy more youthful-looking skin with Palomar 1540 Fractional Laser a revolutionary approach to all laser resurfacing procedures. It is used to treat lines, wrinkles, age spots, and melasma from years of accumulated sun-damaged skin and scaring. It is FDA approved to treat stretch marks and treats all types of scars. There is no cutting of the skin it uses columns of heat, so patients can achieve the same positive effects of ablative laser procedures (CO2 and Erbium lasers) and deep chemical peels without the associated "downtime" or potential side effects.
LuxIR Skin Tightening
LuxIR Skin Tightening
The Palomar LuxIR smooths out fine lines, fine wrinkles, and tightens sagging skin. The LuxIR is a non-coherent infrared light source that produces light pulses in a range that allows deep penetration of light into the dermis, where a controlled area of elevated temperature is created. This infrared deep heating technology has been shown to trigger a biological response that leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine lines, fine wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin. Deep heating with the infrared light can also stimulate increased collagen production to create visible long-term results.
YAG Laser Vein Removal
YAG Laser Vein Removal
Laser leg vein treatment using our Palomar Lux1064 Nd:Yag Handpiece offers a noninvasive treatment for the clearing of spider veins and reticular veins - with no incision, minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Our laser uses pulses of laser light at just the right wavelength to constrict the vessels responsible for spider and reticular veins, causing the vein to degenerate and visibly disappear. The laser light passes through the epidermis, only affecting blood vessels, so there is no injury to outer skin. The result? Quick and easy vein procedures with reduced side effects and little to no recovery time. The Lux1064 can treat any area of the body where spider vein and reticular veins occur.
