Q & A
Who is Palomar?
Palomar has been a leading developer of cosmetic laser and light-based skin treatments since 1991, with thousands of med spas and dermatology practices worldwide using its technology. In 2013, Cynosure — another company at the forefront of cosmetic and medical laser development — acquired Palomar, and together they continue to redefine the industry.
Laser Rx exclusively offers Palomar/Cynosure laser systems on a rental basis.
What is the difference between a Palomar and a Cynosure laser?
Branding, not hardware. Since the 2013 merger, Cynosure sells products under both names. The Icon aesthetics system is a good example — you may see it under either brand, but it is the same platform.
What services do Palomar laser systems perform?
Both the Icon and the StarLux 300 switch between laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) technologies, and both come with multiple handpieces, each optimized for a particular concern:
- IPL photofacials
- Laser hair removal
- Wrinkle reduction
- Skin resurfacing
- Sun and age spot reduction
- Facial vessel clearance
- Leg vein clearance
- Stretch mark reduction
- Acne and surgical scar removal
The Icon adds the ThreeForMe™ treatment — facial blood vessels, wrinkles and sun damage corrected in a single procedure.
