• A practical solution for thicker, coarser hair: Mitigating the constant struggle of ingrown hairs and shaving irritation.

• A life-changer for sensitive skin: Especially in areas like the neck, where shaving can lead to frequent cuts and discomfort.

BEFORE TREATMENT

  Do not tan or use self-tanner 2 weeks prior to treatment.

  Do not wax, pluck, or tweeze for at least 5 days prior to treatment.

  Shave the night before your appointment. Try to get as close of a shave as possible.

AFTER TREATMENT

  Immediately after, you may have redness and bumps at the treatment area, which may last up to 2 hours or longer. It is normal for it to feel like a sunburn. Cold compresses or ice packs can be used reduce swelling or discomfort if needed.

  You may shower and use soap after the laser treatments. Use a gentle cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil, CeraVe), lukewarm water, and do not rub the skin vigorously. Skin should be patted dry and not rubbed. Deodorant can be applied to the underarms after 24 hours.

  Skin moisturizers may be used immediately and makeup can be applied if the skin is not broken.

Moisturizers will help the dead hair fall out of the follicle.

  Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) zinc-based sunblock SPF 30 or greater on the treatment area at all times to reduce the chance of dark or light spots.

  If you have darker skin, you may be asked to use a lightening cream before and after the treatments.

  For optimal results, it is recommended that you do not use any other hair removal methods or products on the treated areas during the course of your laser treatments.

  Anywhere from 5-30 days after the treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and this may appear as new hair growth. This is not new hair growth, but dead hair pushing its way out of the follicle. You can help the hair exfoliate by washing or wiping with a washcloth.

FQA:

What is Splendor X Laser Hair Removal? 

It is the world’s first hybrid laser hair removal using two wavelengths simultaneously at once to be able to go after the hair and the blood supply, and the world’s first square application, instead of round (which leaves gaps or overlaps and causes pain and slower treatments). The best wavelengths for treating fair and light skin tones is an Alexandrite Wavelength (755 nm) and the best wavelength for treating tan and darker skin tones is an Nd:YAG Wavelength (1064 nm). While most lasers utilize one or the other, Splendor X does a one-two punch, combining both.

Am I a Candidate? 

Splendor X can treat all ethnicities. It can not treat grey hair, nor can any laser hair removal. It can treat blonde hair with limited efficacy. Splendor X™ can also treat the fine vellous hairs near the end of the treatment cycles. It can also treat tanned skin, but not a fresh tan within a week, nor on burnt skin. 

What is a Typical Treatment Like? 

To permanently remove hair, the hair germinal cells must be killed. This is done by using a laser whose wavelength matches the pigment of the hair. The heat absorbed by the pigment travels to the germinal cells and permanently injures them. In the growth phase of a hair cycle (one of 3 phases of the life of a hair), the hair is attached to the germ cells so the heat is effectively transferred to them. In the other 2 phases of the hair cycle, the heat will not lead to killing the germ cell. This is why several treatments are needed, so as to eventually hit most of the hairs in the growth phase.Full body treatments are generally 30-40 minutes, whereas other devices are 90 minutes to 2 hours.

What results can I expect with Splendor X?

Splendor X and all laser hair removal are permanent reduction in the hair, and can’t promise 100% permanent hair removal that never returns. About 85-95% can be permanently reduced with Splendor X which is higher than normal, and touch-ups are needed 1-2x a year, since age, hormones, and other factors affect hair over time.

I’d say general speaking should expect about 85-95% permanent hair reduction after 6 to 8 treatments, and the need for touch-ups 1-2 times per year. For all skin types there is a minimum of 6 - 8 treatments. With all other devices for hair removal, darker ethnicities would need 12 treatments.

Is there any downtime?* 

There is no downtime associated with laser hair removal. Splendor X is the most comfortable laser hair removal in the world. If you feel anything it would be a minor warmth sensation. 

How is Splendor Laser Hair Removal different than the popular Duet laser?

Removing hair using a laser dates back to 1995 when the first laser was FDA approved for this purpose. The LightSheer Duet laser (Diode) was approved in 1997 and has been the most popular laser for hair removal since then. About 6-7 years ago, the LightSheer Duet was developed for faster and safer treatments and was the leading laser used for the past 6 years. The Alexandrite (755nm) wavelength has been considered possibly a more effective laser for hair removal, but its limitations have been Pain and Speed. In addition, both the Diode and Alexandrite laser aren’t considered safe for the dark skin tones where a 1064 (Nd:YAG) laser is needed. Splendor X has solved all these problems and is now the most innovative laser for hair removal on the market.

What makes Splendor X different for Hair Removal?

There are many things that make Splendor X™ way ahead of every other platform:

• The World’s First Hybrid Laser Hair Removal:  Using Dual Wavelengths blended and firing simultaneously, Splendor X has both the Alexandrite 755nm (lighter skin tones) and the Nd:YAG 1064 wavelengths (darker skin tones), being safe on all ethnicities. The benefit blending a mix of both wavelengths for most situations is you can attack deeper hair follicles as well as the vasculature feeding these follicles, essentially killing the hair and the blood supply to the hair, resulting in more effective treatments, in less sessions.

• The World’s First Square Footprint: The pulse from the laser is uniquely square. This overcomes the uneven treatments which are inherent in the typical circularly outputs. With the circular footprints there will be potential for skipped areas and/or over-treated areas from overlapping pulses. The Splendor X™ has a glow-in-the-dark marking system to guide the operator to place pulses abutting each other with minimal overlap.

• World’s first Double Cooling System: The Splendor X uses both integrated Zimmer Air Chilling as well as a chilled tip to doubly ensure a safe treatment. By chilling the skin surface, the laser will preferentially heat into the deeper dermis where the hair follicles are and is less likely to be attracted to skin pigment (less burn or PIH risk).

• Highest Speed: Improvements in speed were one of the major attributes of the original LightSheer Duet laser 10 years ago (made by the same company). Duet could do a man’s back in about 15 minutes, down from the 45-60 minutes it took previously. With the Splendor X, we can now do the back in about 6 minutes, more effectively, and more safely.

• Highest Power: There is up to 75% more power (7 kW vs 4 kW) than most lasers with Splendor X. Higher power equates to more efficient treatments, more results, less sessions needed.

• World’s first hair removal with smoke evacuator: There is a built in suction to remove the plume of the vaporized hair. Besides removal of the smell, this is important as we learn there are possible negative side effects from the plume.

• The Splendor X has been cleared by the FDA for safe and effective hair removal.

• Lumenis, the manufacturer of Splendor X, is a global leader in aesthetic medical technology.

In Summary: What set Splendor X apart other Lasers is;

SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

Now we can treat ALL skin types, including darker tones. Splendor X two laser wavelengths: Alexandrite 755mm for lighter skin and Nd:YAG 1064m for darker skin. We can blend the wavelengths as needed for the most customized care.

ANTI-OVERLAP TECHNOLOGY

Unlike most lasers, Splendor X uses a square-shaped laser spot to provide faster and more uniform coverage in a grid pattern to limit overlaps and missed areas. We use different spot sizes depending on the site we're treating to permanently remove your unwanted hair in the most efficient way possible. It's so fast we can even treat a back in about 6 minutes!

COMFORTABLE + COOL

Splendor X's dual cooling system removes heat from the affected tissue, keeping you perfectly comfortable throughout the entire process. If you notice anything, it would be subtle warmth.

OTHER ADVANTAGES

Most patients don't realize that laser hair removal can significantly improve a number of skin disorders:

•   Hirsutism

•   Hidradenitis Suppurativa

•   Pilonidal Cysts

•   Pseudofolliculitis Barbae

•   Acne Keloidalis Nuchae

•   Recurrent folliculitis in underarms/groin

Importance of a Complimentary Consultation Before Laser Hair Removal with Splendor X

A complimentary consultation prior to your first Splendor X laser hair removal session is much more than just a formality. It's a crucial step that ensures the safety, efficacy, and personalization of your treatment experience.

Why it Matters:

Personalized Treatment Plan: The Splendor X's advanced technology, while effective across a range of skin tones and hair types, requires customization for each individual. The consultation allows the provider to assess your unique needs, including:

• Skin Type & Sensitivity: Determining your Fitzpatrick skin type is vital to calibrate the laser settings correctly,minimizing the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.

• Hair Type & Growth Cycle: Understanding your hair color, thickness, and growth patterns helps determine the optimal treatment parameters and expected number of sessions.

• Medical History & Medications: Reviewing your medical history and current medications helps identify any potential contraindications or precautions that may affect your treatment.

• Treatment Area & Goals: Discussing your desired hair removal areas and goals ensures clear expectations and realistic outcomes.

Safety First: Laser hair removal, even with the Splendor X's sophisticated features, carries some risks if not performed properly. The consultation safeguards your well-being by:

• Identifying Risks: The provider will assess any existing skin conditions, sensitivities, or medications that might interact with the laser, allowing for adjustments or alternative solutions if needed.

• Explaining the Process: The consultation gives you a clear understanding of how the Splendor X works, what to expect during and after treatment, and any potential side effects.

• Setting Expectations: You'll be informed about realistic outcomes, the expected number of sessions, and aftercare instructions, minimizing surprises or disappointments.

Confidentiality & Comfort: The consultation is also an opportunity to establish trust and comfort with the provider. The nondisclosure agreement, emphasizing adherence to federal privacy laws, ensures your personal information and medical history remain confidential. This creates a safe space for you to ask questions, express concerns, and discuss any anxieties about the procedure.

Specific Advantages with Splendor X:

• Hybrid Technology: The Splendor X utilizes a unique blend of Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths.Determining the ideal combination for your needs requires a careful assessment of your skin and hair characteristics during the consultation.

• Large Spot Size: The device's large spot size allows for faster treatments but necessitates careful planning to avoid any missed areas or overlapping, especially in smaller or contoured treatment areas.

• Advanced Cooling System: While the Splendor X's cooling system enhances comfort, the consultation allows you to discuss any specific pain concerns or sensitivity levels, ensuring a comfortable treatment experience.

Conclusion:

The complimentary consultation before your Splendor X laser hair removal session is an essential step to optimize results, prioritize safety, and foster a comfortable and informed treatment experience. It allows for a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs and goals, ensuring a successful hair removal journey.

Importance of Hydrating After Laser Hair Removal (Especially with Splendor X by Lumenis)

Even with advanced systems like Splendor X, laser hair removal involves exposing your skin to concentrated light energy. This energy targets and destroys hair follicles but can also cause temporary stress to the surrounding skin. That's where hydration becomes crucial.

Why Hydration is Key

• Soothes and Calms: Laser treatments can cause temporary redness, swelling, and even a slight burning sensation in some cases. Hydrating products like your cucumber soothing gel help cool the skin and provide relief.

• Promotes Healing: Keeping the skin well-hydrated encourages faster cell turnover and repair. This helps the treated area recover quickly and minimizes the risk of complications like scabbing or prolonged irritation.

• Reduces Discomfort: Dehydrated skin can feel tight and uncomfortable, especially after laser treatments. Moisturizing helps restore the skin's natural moisture barrier and reduces lingering discomfort.

• Maintains Skin Health: Hydrated skin is generally healthier and more resilient. This can lead to better long-term outcomes from your laser hair removal sessions and a smoother overall appearance.

• Optimizes Results: Well-hydrated skin is more receptive to subsequent laser treatments. This can contribute to a more successful hair removal process and reduce the number of sessions you need.

Specific Benefits of Cucumber Soothing Gel

Cucumber is naturally rich in water and contains antioxidants and vitamins to help soothe and heal the skin. Your cucumber soothing gel likely provides the following:

• Cooling & Anti-inflammatory Properties: Cucumber's high water content helps cool the skin, while its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and swelling.

• Hydration & Nourishment: The gel helps replenish moisture and nutrients lost during the laser treatment, promoting a smoother and more supple skin texture.

Additional Tips for Post-Laser Hydration with Splendor X

• Apply generously and frequently: Apply your cucumber soothing gel liberally to the treated area immediately after your session and reapply several times throughout the day.

• Avoid harsh products: Avoid harsh soaps, lotions, or exfoliants for the first few days after treatment. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free products.

• Drink plenty of water: Internal hydration is as important as topical hydration. Ensure you drink enough water to support your skin's healing process.

• Protect from the sun: Sun exposure can irritate the treated area and interfere with healing. Wear sunscreen with a high SPF when going outdoors.

Remember: Consistent hydration is critical to achieving optimal results and maintaining healthy skin after your laser hair removal sessions with Splendor X by Lumenis. Using your cucumber soothing gel and following these tips will help you enjoy a smooth, comfortable, and successful hair removal experience.
