EpiLight

Permanent Hair Removal

Fox Chapel Dermatology is delighted to announce the most up to date, effective technology for hair removal treatment, the Palomar StarLux Intense Pulsed Light System. (IPL)

Millions of Americans, male and female, are bothered by unwanted hair, be it facial, underarm, back, legs, bikini--almost anywhere. This new generation of hair removal systems is based on the principle of "selective photothermolysis" and has been fine tuned for optimally efficient results. The selective light wave length targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair root. This energy produces heat, which then destroys the hair follicle and the new hair bud. A series of treatments is required over several months, and some yearly maintenance maybe needed.

Our aesthetic nurse can evaluate the areas you wish to have treated and determine if you are a candidate for IPL hair removal. There is no charge for the consultation. She can recommend a treatment plan for you and may even start treatment immediately. If you are ready, it is easy and effortless.

If you are interested in Starlux IPL hair removal, please call the office and the staff will be happy to schedule a free consultation. For more information, we will send you a brochure on IPL or you can visit www.palomarmedical.com to learn more about the Starlux system.
