The Splendor X laser is widely considered very comfortable during hair removal sessions and is often described as feeling like mild warmth, tingling, or a quick, light rubber band snap. While pain is subjective, most people do not find it painful, thanks to its built-in, advanced dual-cooling system that soothes the skin during treatment. This minimizes discomfort and makes the sensation much less intense than older laser systems. Proper pre and post treatment care can further enhance the comfort of your experience.
Timing your laser hair removal sessions, especially with the Splendor X laser, is crucial for achieving optimal results. For body hair removal, the growth cycle is approximately 4 weeks, with the average time between sessions being 4-6 weeks. For facial hair removal, the growth cycle is similar. Complete hair removal is typically achieved after 6-8 sessions. It’s also essential to follow proper pre and post treatment care to ensure the best outcomes.
The number of hair removal sessions required for laser hair removal varies based on the patient's skin type and hair type, typically averaging between 6-10 treatments. These sessions should be spaced out by approximately 4 weeks, which means you can expect your final results in about 6-10 months. After completing the initial treatments, most patients will need a “touch up” session around once a year. At MODERN GRACE, we utilize the advanced Splendor X laser and offer laser hair removal packages to help you achieve remarkable results at a competitive price. Additionally, we provide pre and post treatment care to ensure you have the best experience possible!
Laser hair removal sessions can effectively treat various areas of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, head, and face, among others! Whether you require laser hair removal treatment for a small area or larger parts of the body, the Splendor X laser offers adaptable solutions to meet your needs.
It's important to note that when it comes to tattoos, treatment cannot be performed directly over a tattoo, as it may grab the tattoo pigment, confusing it with your skin's natural pigment and breaking it apart. Therefore, following proper pre and post treatment care is essential for optimal results.
PRE-AND POST-TREATMENT INFO....
Unlike most laser hair removal machines in the past, the SPLENDOR X is one of the few machines that can still be effective and be done on suntanned skin. However, we do ask that you try to avoid direct sunlight the day or two before....because burnt skin is not the same as tanned skin.
Shave the treatment area a day before your session. Do not wax or pluck hair prior to the treatment, and refrain from applying lotions or other skin care products right before coming in.
After your treatment with the Splendor X laser: Protect the treated area with sunscreen to prevent sunburn, aloe to cool, and hydrocortisone if any itching occurs. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours to minimize irritation. Follow any specific pre and post treatment care instructions provided by our team to ensure optimal results.
The Lumenis SPLENDOR X and M22 are both advanced aesthetic devices, but they serve different purposes. The SPLENDOR X is a powerful dual-wavelength laser designed primarily for fast, effective laser hair removal using Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) laser technology to safely treat all skin types. The M22 is a versatile skin rejuvenation platform that uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), ResurFX™, and Nd:YAG technology to treat sun damage, pigmentation, redness, acne, vascular lesions, and overall skin tone and texture. In simple terms, the SPLENDOR X specializes in hair removal, while the M22 specializes in skin correction and rejuvenation.

Women with PCOS often struggle with hormonal hair growth, acne, pigmentation, and inflammation. The SPLENDOR X helps by targeting and reducing unwanted hair at the follicle with powerful dual-wavelength laser technology, while the M22 helps improve the skin concerns that can come with PCOS such as acne, redness, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Together, these treatments can help improve both skin clarity and confidence while addressing common PCOS-related concerns.
Yes !!— the ResurFX can absolutely help improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and mild skin laxity. The ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser on the M22 platform that works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Over time, this can help smooth wrinkles, tighten crepey skin, improve acne scars, and create firmer, healthier-looking skin on areas like the face, neck, and chest.
It’s important to know that ResurFX is best for:
For more significant loose skin or heavy sagging, treatments like RF microneedling, ultrasound skin tightening, or surgical procedures may sometimes be recommended in combination. But for many clients wanting natural collagen stimulation with minimal downtime, ResurFX is a really beautiful option.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that helps improve sun damage, brown spots, redness, rosacea, acne, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging by using pulses of light energy to target pigment and stimulate collagen production. IPL treatments can leave the skin looking clearer, brighter, smoother, and more youthful with little to no downtime. At Modern Grace Laser & Aesthetics, we customize every IPL treatment to your unique skin concerns and goals for safe, effective, natural-looking results.
