Palomar Laser 1540 Fractional™

The Palomar Starlux® 1540 Fractional™ Laser System (Palomar Laser) delivers laser energy in an array of narrow, focused microbeams, to create columns of heat ((coagulation) within the skin. The heated tissue within the columns initiates a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This results in a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture. It is suitable for treating scars, fine lines and wrinkles and loss of skin tone.

Non-ablative skin resurfacing with the Palomar Laser can be used to treat any body area, including face, chest, arms and hands. The Palomar Laser beams penetrate deeper into the dermis than any competing device for effective, long term results. The non-ablative approach stimulates quick healing in the dermis (under the skin surface), while leaving the epidermis (the skin surface) intact, with no lasting redness.
