If you live with unwanted hair on your back, legs, upper lip or other areas, you may be surprised to find that you can find permanent relief to your problem through pulsed light hair removal.

Pulsed light treatments are remarkable because they provide permanent hair reduction on large body areas with a minimum of discomfort. We use a Palomar Pulsed Light System and our patients have experienced superior results after only a few treatments.

?Pulsed light is similar to a laser in that it uses an intense beam of light,? explains Drs. Bellotte and Habash ?But Palomar employs a new technology that removes hair up to ten times faster than lasers.?

Palomar Pulsed Light Systems have the flexibility to provide varied hair removal treatments on different types of skin and hair. The systems remove unwanted hair by delivering a pulse of intense light directly 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 disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.

?Pulsed light treatments are exponentially more effective than such temporary solutions as shaving and waxing,? says Drs. Bellotte and Habash. ?Even electrolysis can?t compare, because it?s very impractical for large body areas. Most patients describe the pulses as a ?snapping? sensation, which causes mild discomfort at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects of smooth skin.?

If you live with unwanted hair, sun damage, facial veins, leg veins, or acne, you may be surprised to find out that these conditions can all be treated with the same light-based technology.

?Most people are familiar with laser hair removal or some other form of light-based hair reduction,? says Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD with their office in Boca Raton, FL. ?But few know how versatile light-based treatments have become. We?ve gotten to the point where one system can treat unwanted hair, sunspots, spider veins, acne, leg veins, rosacea, and more. It?s a tremendous advantage to both doctor and patient to treat all of these conditions without having to use multiple devices or refer the patient to another practitioner.

?We use the Palomar StarLux? Pulsed Light and Laser System myself,? explains Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD. ?Though they are very similar to lasers, pulsed light systems use a much larger lens than lasers. This spreads more light over a larger area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.?

During treatments, filtered light is directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin in hair or pigmented lesions and the blood in visible vessels. The light heats the pigment and disables the hair follicles and the cells that produce the pigment. In the case of vessels, the light is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the veins, causing them to shrink and fade from view.

?The StarLux cools the skin as it treats, allowing for safe and effective treatments,? says Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD. ?Most patients describe the light pulses as a ?snapping? sensation, which causes mild discomfort at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects of smoother, clearer skin, with improved tone and texture.?

If you live with sun damage and visible veins on your face, chest, arms, and other areas, there is new hope for a rejuvenated appearance through light-based treatments. The Palomar RejuveLux? Process employs pulsed light to perform the most effective photofacials available.

The RejuveLux Process is remarkable because it has the versatility to treat both pigmented lesions and vessels safely and effectively, while improving skin tone and texture.

?The RejuveLux Process is accomplished with a Palomar Pulsed Light System,? explains Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD ?Pulsed light is similar to a laser in that it uses an intense beam of light, but pulsed light can cover a larger body area with each pulse than a laser can, and it is gentler on the skin.?

During RejuveLux treatments, pulses of light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin in pigmented lesions and the blood in visible vessels. The light heats the pigment and disables the cells that produce it. These dead cells are naturally shed by the body after about two weeks, leaving behind fresh, unblemished skin. In the case of vessels, the light is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the veins, causing them to shrink and fade from view.

?Palomar RejuveLux treatments are safe and effective,? says Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD. ?Most patients describe the light pulses as a ?snapping? sensation, which causes mild discomfort at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects of clearer skin, with improved tone and texture.?
