How Does Palomar Starlux Pulsed Light Work?   The Palomar Starlux handpiece emits pulses of 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 destroys the cells responsible for new hair growth.   What are Palomar Starlux treatments like?   Your treatment provider will move the handpiece over your   skin, pulsing it over the follicles. Each pulse sends a beam   of energy into the skin, resulting in a mild sensation    indicating the follicles are being disabled.   What body areas can I have treated?   Any area, except around the eyes. The upper lip, face, neck,   underarms, bikini line, legs, chest and back can all be   treated.   How should I prepare for treatment?   First, an initial consultation must be performed to assess   suitability.   No sun exposure (tanning) or self tan should be present.   No waxing, plucking or bleaching 4 weeks prior to treatment.   The area may be shaved up to the day before the treatment.   To ensure limited sun exposure, an SPF 30 should be    applied to areas being considered for treatment.     What should I expect after treatment?   Immediately after treatment you may experience a mild   sunburn like sensation. This usually last 2 - 24 hours, and   can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.   The treated hair may continue to appear for 7 - 30 days    post treatment. This is not new hair growth, but treated   hair being expelled from the body.   At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of    active growth. More than one treatment is required to   target hair follicles as they enter their growth phase.       something you should know.........   IPL and Lasers are approved by health Canada for  "permanent hair reduction."   Light based treatments are not effective for white,   blonde or grey hair.   Health Canada has only approved the term  "permanent hair removal" for electrolysis. This    term will not be used by any reputable company   when referring to IPL or laser hair removal.

Are all IPL / Lasers created equally?    The Starlux is a high quality, medical grade device    providing increased power, a long "pulse width" of    the light beam and integrated cooling of the skin's    surface.       The advanced integrated cooling allows maximum    power with less pain and discomfort associated     with the older IPL's and Lasers. This provides    superior protection against burns and hypopigmen-    tation.      Clinical comparision of four hair removal                   lasers and  light sources.           Amin S, Goldberg D. / Journal of cosmetic and     laser therapy.     Note: Although hair removal with commonly used laser                systems is highly effective, treatment with light based                devices can result in less pain, yet show the same                efficacy (result) as laser.
