What is it?
In 1996, Palomar, the manufacturer of the StarLux, became the first light-based technology company to receive FDA clearance for Permanent Hair Reduction. The StarLux employs their most powerful and effective technology to achieve the quickest possible hair clearance. It works several times faster than other light-based systems. Treatment sessions are shorter without the discomfort associated with some of the older lasers.
Who is this for?
This is for people who want a more permanent solution for hair removal. In the past, the usual treatments for unwanted hair were waxing, shaving, plucking, or electrolysis but they were all painful, messy, and only temporary. Say goodbye to your razor blades and daily shaving.
How does it work?
Pulsed Light hair removal works by emitting pulses of intense light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat destroys the structure of the follicle, loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. This leads to short-term freedom from unwanted hair and long-term reduction of new hair growth.
