Our photo rejuvenation process provides a skin-safe, comfortable and effective photo facial with little to no downtime. Due to the enlarged hand piece size, treatments are quick and due to its superior cooling system one can return to work or other activities the following day looking and feeling fine.

How does the Palomar pulsed light work?

Palomar Systems use specialized hand pieces, which filter light to target blood vessels and pigmented lesions. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as sunspot removal and vessel clearance.

The Palomar photo rejuvenation hand piece emits pulses of light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and the blood in the visible vessels, which typically fade from view within two weeks.

How is Palomar pulsed light different from a laser?

Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.

What body areas can be treated?

Most areas, except directly around the eyes.

What are the treatments like?

Your treatment provider will move the hand piece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed.

What should I expect after treatment?

Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2 – 24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.

Sunspots/Sun damage: The sunspots will darken after treatment and be naturally shed from the skin within 1 – 2 weeks.

Rosacea: Skin tone will typically benefit from less pronounced redness within a week after treatments. Best results witnessed after 4 – 6 weeks.

Spider Veins: Vessels may disappear after treatments or they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade within 10 – 14 days.

Typically, a few visits will be necessary to treat sunspots, rosacea and vessels.
