Safe
and Effective Treatment for All Skin Types - Even Tanned
Skin
Hair removal lasers work by emitting pulses of laser energy
to the hair follicles. This energy is absorbed by the dark
pigment in the follicles, and they become disabled. Up to
now, treating darker skin types has been a problem because
darker skin absorbs enough of the laser energy to cause
adverse side effects.
To
overcome this obstacle, the Palomar SLP1000 Diode Laser Hair
Removal System uses Super Long-Pulse Technology. This
technology delivers each pulse of laser energy to the skin
over a longer period of time than other hair removal lasers.
This longer delivery time (pulse width) minimizes the amount
of heat that builds up in the skin but still allows enough
heat to reach and disable the hair follicles. Super
Long-Pulse Technology is so effective, it permits the treatment
of ALL skin colours (types 1-6), even TANNED skin.
The
SheerCoolTM
Handpiece for Comfort and Safety
The
SheerCool handpiece delivers the laser energy to the skin.
It is the only laser delivery system that provides
contact-cooling before, during and after each laser pulse
for safe and comfortable treatment.
