Laser Palomar Vectus ^TM – effective depilation

In our Institute, laser hair removal is carried out using the newest Palomar Vectus™ Diode Laser. Thanks to this technology, we can offer effective hair removal from all parts of the body for both men and women.

Vectus is the only hair removal system in the world to be fitted with a skin melanin reader (Skintel™), which selects optimum, most effective parameters for the procedure, without any risk of burning. The Advanced Contact CoolingSM technology ensures high level of comfort, as it cools the skin before, during and after emission of light. This allows us to maintain higher energy levels during the procedure, which significantly increases its effectiveness.

The appropriate attachment is selected depending on the size of the treated area. When removing hair from large area, e.g. legs, we used a large attachment, whereas in the case of small areas such as upper lip, a precise small attachment is used. The attachment is placed against the skin and an impulse of light emitted. Absorbed by melanin, which is the pigment in the hair, it thermally destructs the hair follicle.
