Laser Hair Removal by Palomar Icon
Laser hair removal using the Palomar Icon system is a cutting-edge treatment designed to provide long-lasting hair reduction on nearly any part of the body. This advanced technology delivers highly targeted light energy that destroys hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth over time. Palomar Icon’s laser system is known for its precision, safety, and ability to treat various skin tones and hair types, making it a popular choice for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.
How Laser Hair Removal by Palomar Icon Works:
The Palomar Icon system uses optimized light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and is converted into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, inhibiting its ability to produce new hair without affecting the surrounding skin.
Because hair grows in cycles, laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen phase). Multiple sessions are needed to treat all the hair in the targeted area, as not all follicles are in the anagen phase at the same time.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal:
• Long-Term Hair Reduction: Laser hair removal with Palomar Icon significantly reduces hair growth, with results lasting months or years. While some hair may eventually regrow, it is often finer and lighter.
• Precise and Targeted: The Palomar Icon system can precisely target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged, making it a safe option for sensitive areas.
• Quick Treatment Sessions: Depending on the area being treated, sessions can be as short as 15 minutes, making it a convenient treatment for those with busy schedules.
• Suitable for Various Skin Types: The Palomar Icon’s advanced technology is designed to treat a wide range of skin types and tones, including lighter and darker complexions.
What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal:
1. Consultation: Before starting treatment, a consultation is conducted to determine your skin type, hair type, and the most effective treatment plan. This will also assess if you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal.
2. Preparation: The area to be treated will be cleaned and shaved. It’s important to avoid waxing or plucking the hair before treatment since the laser targets the hair follicle, which needs to be intact.
3. Treatment: The Palomar Icon laser is passed over the treatment area, delivering pulses of light that target the hair follicles. You may feel a slight stinging or snapping sensation, but discomfort is generally minimal due to the built-in cooling technology that helps protect the skin.
4. Duration: Treatment times vary based on the size of the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip can take just 10-15 minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to an hour.
Areas Commonly Treated:
• Face: Upper lip, chin, sideburns
• Body: Underarms, bikini line, back, chest, arms, legs
Downtime and Recovery:
One of the main advantages of Palomar Icon laser hair removal is the minimal downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, there are a few post-care guidelines to follow for optimal results:
• Mild Redness or Sensitivity: After the session, you may experience mild redness or a slight sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a day.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: It’s important to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen on treated areas, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV rays following the procedure.
• Avoid Hot Baths and Intense Exercise: For the first 24-48 hours after treatment, it’s recommended to avoid activities that may increase body heat or irritate the treated skin.

Number of Sessions Needed:
Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results. On average, most individuals need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the treatment area, hair density, and your individual hair growth cycle. Some patients may require touch-up treatments every year or two to maintain results.
Results:
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal by Palomar Icon?
• Individuals with Dark, Coarse Hair: The laser targets the pigment in hair, making those with darker hair and lighter skin ideal candidates. However, the Palomar Icon is versatile and can treat a range of hair and skin types, including individuals with medium to dark skin tones.
• People Seeking Long-Term Hair Reduction: If you’re tired of waxing, shaving, or using depilatory creams, laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution.
• Those with No Recent Sun Exposure: It’s best to undergo laser hair removal when your skin is not tanned to avoid complications like hyperpigmentation.
Who Should Avoid Laser Hair Removal?
• Individuals with Blonde, Grey, or Red Hair: Because the laser targets melanin, those with lighter-colored hair may not respond well to treatment.
• People with Tanned or Sunburned Skin: Laser hair removal is safest on untanned skin. If you’ve recently been in the sun, it’s important to wait until your tan fades (approximately 2 weeks) to minimize the risk of burns or discoloration.
• Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: While laser hair removal is considered safe for most people, it’s recommended to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to avoid any risks.
