You are bidding on a 2007 Palomar Lux1540 hand piece.
Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a method that is used to treat a number of skin conditions
with minimal downtime. One of the premier fractional lasers is the Palomar Lux 1540, a non-ablative erbium laser
that is part of the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System. This laser delivers light to the skin through an array of high
precision microbeams that penetrate the skin deep into the dermis. This creates narrow, deep columns of skin
coagulation, surrounded by healthy, untreated skin. This causes the skin to repair itself by replacing old, sun
damaged skin with new, younger, healthier skin. Since the Lux 1540 delivers fractionated light, the treatments are
safer and produce consistent results.
Fractional resurfacing with the Lux 1540 is much less invasive compared to ablative laser procedures, resulting in
a faster recovery time. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with some mild redness and swelling for a
couple of days. Since these treatments are fractionated and less invasive, generally 3 – 5 sessions are
recommended for full results. These are performed every 2 – 6 weeks. Fractional skin resurfacing with the 1540 nm
erbium laser is also much safer and avoids the side effects and complications that are associated with non-
fractionated lasers.
