Laser Hair Removal

Splendor X

The Lumenis Splendor X is an FDA-cleared device that’s most often used for laser hair removal. It’s designed to safely remove hair anywhere on the body, across all skin types and tones. What sets Splendor X apart is its BLEND X technology, which targets hair follicles with two different laser wavelengths: alexandrite (755 nanometer) and Nd:YAG (1064 nanometer). These wavelengths can be synchronized and their level adjusted, based on the individual patient’s skin tone, hair color, and hair thickness. 


The Spendor X is also the first fiber-delivered hair removal laser to use a square-shaped spot (or beam). Unlike the standard round beam of other lasers, this shape enables the provider to deliver more uniform coverage with minimal overlap, decreasing the potential for skipped areas or the kind of overtreatment that can result in burns. This precise alignment also allows for more precision in treating areas with fine borders, like beards.

FAQ

WE HOPE TO ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

  • What to do before my laser hair removal appointment?


    Within 24 hours before your appointment, shave the treatment area, to help the laser light locate your hair follicles. 


    Your body or facial hair will need to be in an active growth phase for the laser to effectively target the melanin in the hair follicle. Your sessions will be scheduled at intervals that align to this phase of growth.


  • Can I keep waxing or tweezing?

    No. You must stop waxing or tweezing the hair you want to remove for three to six weeks before your treatments, though it’s fine to shave. 

  • What happens during my Splendor X treatment?

    Splendor X is an in-office treatment. First, our provider will adjust the laser to suit your skin tone and hair thickness and you’ll be given eye protection. 


    Our provider will then methodically treat one small area at a time, moving the handpiece as they go. With each pulse, the light from the laser energy will destroy the targeted hair follicles. 


    You may feel a warm sensation, but discomfort should be minimized by the device’s built-in dual cooling system (DCS), which uses forced air to keep the handpiece and the surface of your skin chilled with each pass. 


    You may notice some immediate redness or swelling afterward, but it should resolve in a few hours. 


    There’s no downtime, and you can resume regular activities right away. We advise you to limit sun exposure for a few weeks and be diligent about using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.

  • How many Splendor X sessions will you need to see results?

    Typically, people need six to eight hair removal sessions, every one to two months, to see optimal results. You’ll see some reduction in hair after your first session, but because not all hair in the treatment area will be at the same growth stage at the same time, you’ll need multiple treatments in order to remove all unwanted hair. 


    The number of treatments and their cadence can vary by body part, since hair grows more quickly on the face than on the body. 

  • Does Splendor X permanently remove hair?

    Like all laser hair removal treatments, Splendor X treatments will permanently and significantly reduce hair growth, but it may not permanently remove all of it. 

  • What are the risks and side effects of Splendor X?

    Splendor X carries fewer risks than some laser hair removal systems, due to the precision of its square spot (which reduces the risk of overlap and burns) and its dual cooling system (DCS). 


    However, it is possible for the treatment to trigger changes to skin pigmentation and texture, especially for patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV through VI.  


    Avoid any laser treatment if you have active infections or skin inflammation; viral, fungal, or bacterial disease; active cold sores; or open wounds in the area you want to address.
