Port Hope Medical Cosmetic Clinic
Hair Reduction

If you live with unwanted hair, you've probably tried some of the typical solutions that are only short-term and extremely time-consuming. The Palomar Pulsed Light System offers a lasting solution for unwanted hair.

Permanent: Concentrated pulses of light loosen the hair and disable the cells responsible for new hair growth.

Fast: Small areas, such as the underarms or upper lip, can be treated in 10 minutes or less, and even large areas, like the back or legs, can be treated in under a half hour.

Comfortable: Various cooling methods keep the light pulses mild and skin-safe, allowing for more comfortable treatments.

Convenient: There is no need to let hair grow out between treatments. You can remain hair free all the time.

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.
  • The treated hair will continue to appear for 7-30 days post-treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin.
  • At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Therefore you will need more than one treatment to affect the growth of all your unwanted hair.
  • Spider Veins: Vessels may disappear after treatment or they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade within 10-14 days.
  • Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.
