If you have unwanted hair, on your lips, face, legs, underarms, bikini, back, or other areas, you may be surprised to find that you can find permanent hair reduction to your problem through the advanced technology in Palomar Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL). The system removes unwanted hair by delivering a pulse of intense light directly into the hair follicles converting to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. Most clients say they feel very little discomfort and slight or no redness at all. The procedure is safe and very effective with no down time. After the treatment, clients can resume to their normal daily activities. IPL has been approved by the FDA for Permanent Hair Reduction.
