Comfortable Hair Management
Traditional waxing and threading treatments which essentially rip the hair from the skin, can be quite painful. Most people, however, find treatments to be significantly more comfortable. In addition, since the pulses of light penetrate the skin, you do not need to let your hair grow out before you are treated. With Simply Smooth's treatments, you can remain virtually hair free all of the time!
Super-Fast Treatments
Thanks to the advanced technology of the Palomar StarLux System* that Therapeutic Skin Solutions utilizes, hair removal works much faster and more effectively than any other conventional hair removal system. This allows a woman's legs or a man's back to be treated in under thirty minutes, and smaller areas - such as the underarms, upper lip or bikini line - can be treated in even less time!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INTENSE PULSE LIGHT TREATMENT (IPL)
Q. What Body Areas Can I Get Treated?
A. Any area, except around the eyes. The underarms, legs, back, bikini line, face, neck, etc. can all be treated fast and effectively.
Q. What Are The Treatments Sessions Like?
A. Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move a wand-like handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that disables the hair follicles. Most people perceive the light as a gentle “snapping” sensation. Once this is completed, the treatment provider will wipe away any loose hair from your skin, and you’re ready to go.
Q. What Should Most People Expect After Treatment?
A. Most people experience some mild redness and tenderness in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary.
Q. What is the difference Between Laser and Pulsed-Light Treatments?
A. Pulsed-light systems and lasers are very similar and remove hair in basically the same way. However, the PLS uses a new technology that removes hair up to ten times faster and more comfortably than lasers. Pulsed-light treatments can fit even the busiest person’s schedule.
| HAIR GROWTH CYCLES |
|
Amagen Phase
Anagen is the active phase of hair growth and generally last for several months. At any given time, most of our body hair is in this part of the hair-growth cycle. |
 |
Catagen Phase
During this brief phase, the hair bulb regresses and begins to shrink. |
 |
Telogen Phase
At the end of this resting phase, which typically lasts a few months, hair is released from the shrivelled follicles and the anagen phase begins again. |

How Has Unwanted Hair Usually Been Removed?
Shaving
Shaving is a simple procedure…but it’s also messy and time consuming. (And who needs nicks and cuts) Shaving is a very short-lasting solution, one that requires a constant commitment.
Tweezing
Ouch! This quick-fix is not only painful…it’s highly impractical for large areas! And, if you’ve ever tweezed, you know that the hair you pluck will only grow back again.
Depilatories
Another short-lasting solution. This messy procedure requires a significant time commitment and must be repeated about once a week. Caution: If depilatories are left on too long, they can cause severe skin irritation or even chemical burns.
Waxing
Waxing can cover large skin areas and may last for a month or so. Yet this procedure is painful, can irritate sensitive skin, and can only treat hair after it becomes visible above the skin.
Electrolysis
This procedure involves sticking a needle into each hair follicle and applying an electric current. In expert hands, electrolysis can successfully eliminate hair. But because you can treat only one hair follicle at a time, it’s tedious and very time-consuming.
