Palomar was founded in 1987. It has connections to other laser
manufacturers:
- Spectrum Medical: a division of Palomar under which the EpiLaser
ruby laser was originally cleared to market.
- Star Medical: an 80% owned subsidiary sold to Coherent in
1999. Star had the first diode laser cleared to market, originally
called StarLight and later renamed LightSheer.
Available devices
Palomar SLP1000™ Diode Laser System
The SLP1000 features A Super long pulsewidth for all skin types
contact-cooling SheerCool™ Handpiece chills the skin before,
during, and after each laser pulse no sprays or gels.
The Palomar SLP1000 uses super long pulses (up to 1000 ), which
deliver energy to the skin over a longer period of time than shorter
pulses (3 to 40 ms).
Photon Recycling. In this process, light that has been reflected
away from the skin is captured and reflected back toward the hair
follicles.

Palomar E2000™ Ruby Laser System
sapphire-tip contact-cooling
contact firing which will not release laser energy until there
has been proper skin contact and precise cooling of the skin.
In the TwinPulse™ Mode, the E2000 offers a long pulse duration
(100 ms)
10-mm handpiece
SheerSpeed™ Adapter with Photon Recycling. The adapter
converts the E2000's contact-cooling handpiece into a delivery
device that covers a 20 x 20 mm square area... covering more than
six times the area of the10-mm, hexagon-shaped handpiece.

The EpiLaserü Laser Hair Removal System —
The Epilaser System offers many of the same benefits as the Palomar
E2000 but at about half the cost. It is slower, but delivers the
same contact-cooling technology for safety and the same ruby laser
wavelength for permanent hair reduction..
Esthetica Partners has an arrangement with Palomar to supply
lasers in selected spas.
