Splendor X Laser Hair Removal

Splendor X is an advanced laser system developed by Lumenis. It combines two clinically proven wavelengths, Alexandrite laser at 755 nm and Nd: YAG laser at 1064 nm, into a single synchronized pulse. The laser energy targets the pigment within the hair follicle. and the laser energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle and significantly reduces its ability to regrow hair.

What is the Splendor X Laser?

Read More on the Blog

Splendor X stands apart because it uses a unique square-shaped laser spot that covers a larger treatment area more uniformly than conventional round beams. This technology reduces the likelihood of missed or overlapping spots and helps make sessions faster and more consistent. The system also incorporates an advanced cooling system that cools the skin before and during laser delivery to enhance comfort and avoid harming surrounding skin.

Simultaneous dual laser emission with the Splendor X device enables customizable treatments based on skin tone, hair thickness, and the area being treated. In addition to hair removal, the system can be used for other skin-related concerns like vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and spider veins when clinically appropriate.

Reasons for Splendor X Laser Hair Removal

Splendor X laser hair removal offers unparalleled safety and optimal results, with long-term hair reduction. This laser technology is safe for most skin and hair types, as opposed to other laser treatments that can damage darker skin tones. Splendor X also minimizes discomfort thanks to its dual cooling system and ergonomic design, making each session more comfortable and predictable. Sessions are often quicker than traditional laser systems, making it convenient for busy schedules.

Many patients choose Splendor X to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair on areas such as the legs, underarms, bikini line, chest, back, and face. By directly removing hair follicles, patients will experience a longer-lasting reduction in hair growth and fewer ingrown hairs, which can occur with shaving and waxing. It is also helpful for individuals who experience ingrown hairs or skin irritation from frequent shaving.

Before Your Splendor X Procedure

Before beginning treatment at JanigaMDs, you will have a consultation to evaluate your hair and skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals. This allows the treatment provider to tailor the laser settings for your unique needs. You will be advised to avoid waxing and plucking in the weeks leading up to treatment so that the hair follicle remains intact for optimal laser targeting. Your provider may recommend shaving the treatment area a day before your appointment so the laser energy can be delivered effectively to the hair follicles without interference from surface hair. Sun exposure and tanning should also be minimized before coming in for a session. It is important to follow all treatment guidelines provided to reduce sensitivity and maximize treatment safety.

Your Splendor X Procedure

During your Splendor X treatment, you and your provider will wear protective eyewear while the Splendor X device delivers rapid pulses of laser energy through a handheld applicator. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment, and often describe the laser pulses as a gentle snapping or tingling sensation. The size of the area being treated determines how long the session lasts. Smaller regions may take only a few minutes, while larger areas of hair removal may require up to one hour.

A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is usually recommended because hair grows in cycles. Multiple sessions allow the laser to effectively target follicles as they enter the active growth phase.

After Your Splendor X Procedure

Following your Splendor X laser session, you might experience temporary redness or a warm sensation in the treated area, but these symptoms typically improve within a few hours. There is minimal downtime, and you can resume most daily activities soon after treatment. However, your provider may advise you to avoid direct sun exposure, hot baths, and strenuous activity for a few days.

Using sunscreen on treated areas is especially important as your skin heals, and guidance will be provided on how to protect your skin and support optimal results as you move through your treatment plan.

What to Expect After Your Splendor X Procedure

Over the following one to three weeks, treated hairs begin to shed as the hair follicle responds to the laser. With each treatment, hair tends to grow back thinner, finer, and more sparse, resulting in nearly permanent hair reduction. Because hair growth occurs in cycles, patients should expect to undergo a series of sessions to target all follicles effectively. Periodic maintenance treatments may be suggested to preserve your smooth skin over time.

"5 Star Surgeon"

I’m giving Dr. Janiga 5 stars because of I love the results of my surgeries. He listened to my concerns and we decided together the best options based on my budget and the outcome that I wanted. He did a Lip Lift for me in May 2015. I am so happy with the results. My thin flat upper lip now has that cute cupids bow and it looks natural. He did this surgery in his in his Office Surgical Suite.
