What makes our Splendor X laser so unique?
Splendor X allows us to provide each of our patients with a treatment that's fully customized and highly effective. This laser works on all skin types, including tanned skin, by blending two different wavelengths together: Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, based on your precise skin tone.
Our square spot size provides the most thorough coverage area of any laser on the market, this means fewer sessions to achieve full results. No missed patches! Different lasers have various kinds of "tips" which is the shape and size of the wavelength that comes in contact with your skin. Splendor X utilizes a square shaped tip to ensure the entire area is being treated with no missed spots.

Traditional lasers require ultrasound gel as a conductor between the skin and the laser during a treatment. Because of the advanced technology, a treatment with our Splendor X is completely gel free!
Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?
At worst, Laser Hair Removal with our Splendor X laser feels faintly like a snapping rubber band or a "zinger". Most of our patients find that our laser provides the most comfortable laser treatment they've ever had. This is because of the Dual Cooling System, which combines chilled air with a cooled laser tip to double the numbing effects of the cold. The Dual Cooling System will also protect your skin from the risk of heat injury during treatment.
When will I see results from my treatments?
Splendor X's treatments are most effect to the hairs that are early on in their growth stage (this is why all Laser Hair Removal requires multiple sessions). Since not all hairs are in the same stage at the same time, your full treatment plan with Splendor X will typically be six treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart! Because of Splendor X's advanced technology, results will be seen in fewer sessions than traditional lasers, with up to 80% of your hair GONE after the first treatment! Sometimes touch ups are necessary, but this varies by patient.
What can I expect after my Laser Hair Removal treatment?
This will vary slightly from person to person, but a treatment requires no downtime and poses no interruptions to your day. A tiny bit of redness and swelling is completely normal. After each visit you will notice a reduction in the regrowth of hair.
How does Laser Hair Removal with the Splendor X work?
Laser Hair Removal works by using laser light energy to target the pigment in your hair. The laser emits energy in the form of light onto your skin. The melanin (color) in the hair absorbs this energy and converts it into heat which then destroys the hair follicles. Future hair growth is prevented or stopped once the hair follicle is destroyed, leaving you with silky smooth skin. Pretty cool right? Splendor X will allow you to reclaim your time that would otherwise be spent shaving.
