Palomar Intense Pulsed Light: Hair Removal

The Palomar pulsed light system, which can be used to clear your skin, can also target and deactivate hair follicles, stopping or greatly reducing the growth of unwanted hair. The Palomar system is not a laser, because it affects a wider area. This means that Palomar treatments are much faster than laser treatments.

How does it work?

The Palomar pulsed light system heats the hair targeted with intense pulses of light. The heat disables the hair follicle, stopping the hair's growth.

How long does it last?

After a course of several treatments with the Palomar, the reduction in hair growth will be permanent. Certain types of hair, especially blonde hairs and very light hairs, are very difficult to treat, and the reduction in hair growth will be much less in these cases. A free consultation with one of Dr. Dohner's nurses can help you decide whether hair removal with the Palomar system is right for you.
