Hair Removal

Dr. Stewart’s office is equipped with a state-of-the-art Palomar Icon Pulsed Light Hair Removal System that is faster and less painful than conventional laser treatment. This system is the latest technology upgrade that offers a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. Under this system, focused pulses of light are aimed at the unwanted hair. It not only helps to loosen and remove the unwanted hair, but also disables the cells that cause hair re-growth. The system is highly efficient and it can treat smaller areas such as the chin and armpits within 15 minutes. The light pulses are skin-safe with the Palomar Icon System. This advanced technological system works many times faster than traditional laser systems. After the hair removal process, you can expect some minor swelling around the hair follicles, similar to a sunburn. This may last from two to 24 hours. Hair reduction typically requires more than one treatment, because all of the patient’s hair is not in active growth phase. Usually, several treatments are necessary to remove all unwanted hair.
