A Smarter Approach to Unwanted Hair

Reduce unwanted hair with customized Splendor X treatments.

Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming, and uncomfortable to manage with shaving, waxing, or plucking. At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, TX, we offer advanced laser hair removal with Splendor X to help patients reduce unwanted hair and enjoy smoother skin with less daily maintenance.

Laser hair removal works by delivering targeted laser energy to the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs this energy, which helps heat and damage the follicle so it produces less hair over time. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments is needed to target follicles during their active growth phase and achieve the best long-term reduction.

Splendor X is an advanced laser hair removal system that uses a customized blend of Alexandrite and Nd laser wavelengths. This allows treatment settings to be adjusted based on your skin tone, hair type, treatment area, and goals. The system also uses a large square-shaped spot size, which helps provide even coverage, faster treatment times, and a more consistent experience.

Laser hair removal may be used on many areas of the face and body, including the underarms, bikini area, Brazilian area, legs, arms, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, neck, chin, upper lip, sideburns, and jawline. For many patients, treatment can reduce the need for frequent shaving or waxing and may help improve razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation caused by traditional hair removal methods.

During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin tone, hair color, hair thickness, treatment area, and medical history to create a personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to help you achieve smoother, more confident skin with a safe, efficient, and customized approach.

Splendor X

Laser Hair Removal with Splendor X

The Splendor X provides a wide variety of hair removal procedures that achieve a rapid rate of removal by combining a high rate of fluency, large spot size, and high repetition rate. The system also uses a unique square spot shape that eliminates such problems as hot spots caused by overlapping the same area, and ensuring a more uniform coverage of the treatment area.

The Splendor X technology also allows the use of the laser on all skin tones, a benefit that many other laser treatments lack. Its unique BLEND X technology allows your doctor or provider to achieve customized treatment options for patients of varying skin and hair types because the machine can be customized to treat different individuals.

How Is Splendor X Different from Other Lasers?

All laser systems are not created equal, as well as the various different technologies that are used to achieve laser hair removal. Laser systems may differ from one another with regards to speed, the intensity of energy delivery, their degree of effectiveness, ability to treat certain skin tones and/or hair color or types, as well as how many follow-up treatments may be required to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals, all of which impact the quality of the laser hair removal experience for the patient.

Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, located right here in Bellaire and lead by a plastic surgeon Dr. Olga Bachilo, is thrilled to provide their patients with state-of-the-art laser hair removal with the Splendor X by Lumenis.

Splendor X is the newest and fastest laser hair removal system on the market. It is equally effective for men and women and is superior to other laser hair removal systems for a variety of reasons. 

The Splendor X stands out from its competitors because of its unique, large square-shaped spot laser that works more rapidly than any other, eliminating hot spots and preventing overlap, ensuring uniform skin coverage. It’s also the only laser hair removal system on the market that can be tailored specifically to work on all skin types, including darker complexions, as well as all hair types, from the coarsest to the finest, and hair of any color.

The larger spot size provides deeper penetration over a larger area, providing more effective hair removal with no retouching necessary, saving you time and money over the long term. Depending on the severity of hair growth and the size of the treatment area, most patients can see significant, permanent results after only four treatment sessions.

While the Splendor X is more powerful than past generations of laser hair removal devices, it is at once more gentle. The Splendor X is a unique hybrid system that combines two types of wavelengths (Alexandrite and ND: YAG) to safely and effectively remove practically any type of hair from virtually any complexion of skin. With the Splendor X, the treatment may be customized specifically for your unique skin and hair type, making it possible to treat clients of all ethnicities. Splendor X is also equally effective for men and women.

As an additional benefit, the Splendor X is also used to treat surface lines and wrinkles, surface scars, sunspots, and vascular as well as pigmented lesions, providing comprehensive improvement and rejuvenation. When it comes to top of the line treatments and hair removal, Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa has you covered!

Frequently Asked Questions
About Laser Hair Removal

ARE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS PAINFUL?

Most people describe the sensation of a rubber band popping on the skin. However, Splendor X has a cooling tip that helps to virtually eliminate those sensations for a comfortable hair removal experience and no need for numbing creams.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION?

Typically about 6 sessions are needed at an average of 4-6 weeks apart to achieve the best results with laser hair reduction. Some patients may require maintenance sessions until the desired results are achieved.

WHAT MAKES THE SPLENDOR X THE BEST CHOICE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL DEVICES?

Studies show that Splendor X is 75% more powerful than other devices on the market. In addition to the integrated cooling feature, the spot size is square, which prevents overlapping during the treatment, and it is also larger, which allows for a quicker treatment.

DOES THE SPLENDOR X DEVICE REMOVE LIGHTER COLORED HAIR?

It is most effective with laser hair removal when there is a contrast between skin tone and hair color, but the Splendor X technology is designed to treat light skin and light-colored hair to dark tanned skin with dark hair.

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Essentially, any body part with unwanted hair can be treated. Extra precautions are taken regarding eye protection when performing laser hair removal on and near the face.

HOW CAN SOMEONE PREPARE FOR THEIR LASER HAIR REMOVAL SESSION?

Patients can prepare for their laser hair removal treatment by shaving the area to be treated beforehand. This avoids the laser burning the hair on the surface, which can burn the skin.

ARE THERE ANY THINGS TO AVOID AFTER A LASER HAIR REMOVAL SESSION?

Avoid chemical peels and other laser procedures in the area to be treated for two weeks prior and two weeks after your laser treatment. Avoid all beta and alpha hydroxyl acids, hydroquinone, and retinoids for seven days before and after treatment.

ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR HAVING LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Patients who are pregnant and breastfeeding should avoid all laser treatments. Also, patients with a history of melanoma, raised moles, suspicious lesions, keloid scar formation, healing problems, active infections, open lesions, hives, herpetic ions, cold sores, tattoos or permanent make-up in area of treatment, recent use of Accutane, tetracycline, or St. John’s wort in the last year, autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Scleroderma, and Vitiligo.

DOES THE SPLENDOR X DEVICE DO MORE THAN LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

The Splendor X is cleared to treat (PFB) Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, vascular treatments including angiomas, hemangiomas, telangiectasia, and other benign vascular and pigmented lesions and leg veins. Additionally, Splendor X treats nail fungus and warts. Splendor X also has IPL capabilities which allow it to treat wrinkles and pigmentation.
