Long-lasting Results (Permanent Hair Reduction) IPL systems work 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. Most hair removed with the Palomar MediLux System will not grow back for months, while other hair may not grow back at all. Hair that dose grow back may be thinner and lighter in color.

Comfortable Hair Management

Say good by to painful traditional waxing and threading treatments! Most people find the MediLux to significantly more comfortable, and since the pulses of light penetrate the skin, you do not need to let your hair grow out before you are treated. With MediLux treatments, you can remain virtually hair-free all the time. Super-Fast Treatments Thanks to its advanced, new technology, the Palomer MediLux System works several times faster than other light-based hair removal systems. Smaller areas--such as the underarms, upper lip, or bikini line--can be treated in about five minutes. A woman's legs or a man's back can be treated in only about fifteen minutes!

Q.  What Body Areas Can I Get Treated?

A.  Any area, except around the eyes. The underarms, legs, back, bikini line, face, neck, etc., can all treated.. fast!

Q.  What Are the Treatment Sessions Like?

A.  Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move a wand-like handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits the light that disables the hair follicles. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation. Once this is completed, the treatment provider will wipe away any loose hair from your skin, and you're ready to go.

Q.  What Should Most People Expect After Treatment?

A.  Most people experience some mild redness and tenderness in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary. Your treatment provider will explain other, less likely side effect to you.

Q.  What Is the Difference Between Laser and Pulsed-Light Treatments?

A.  Pulsed-Light systems and laser are very similar and remove hair in basically the same way. However, the Palomer MediLux uses a new technology that removes hair up to ten times faster than lasers. MediLux pulsed-light treatments can fit even the busiest person's schedule.
