At The Appearance Care Center in Pacific Heights, we understand that your time is precious. That’s why we’ve invested in the fastest laser hair removal technology available in San Francisco. For our patients who want the best results with minimal time commitment, the Splendor X by Lumenis represents the pinnacle of innovation. Let’s get straight to what makes this treatment different—and why speed matters more than you might think.
Located at 2408 Clay Street, and founded by world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Corey S. Maas, our practice has been a trusted partner for San Francisco residents seeking effective, safe aesthetic treatments for over 20 years. We are particularly thrilled with our newest acquisition—the Lumenis Splendor X laser. This truly game-changing device keeps treatments short and well-tolerated, while also decreasing the number of sessions required. The result? Unmatched efficiency that delivers the smooth, hair-free skin you want, in less time than you thought possible.
The Splendor X’s innovative square spot size is the engineering secret behind our speed. Unlike traditional round spots, this design maximizes coverage with each pulse, allowing us to treat larger areas more efficiently. For you, this means a full leg treatment that might take an hour elsewhere can be completed in as little as 30 minutes at our San Francisco clinic.
“What am I most thrilled about with the Splendor X? It’s the combination of patient comfort and clinical efficiency. We’re able to give our patients the best possible results in fewer sessions, which is what everyone wants. The innovation behind this laser is something we’re proud to stand behind,” says our Lead Aesthetic Nurse.

A: While individual results vary, most of our patients achieve their desired results in 6-8 sessions with the Splendor X, compared to 8-10 sessions with older technology. The larger spot size and advanced technology not only make each treatment faster but also more effective, reducing the total number of sessions required.
A: Quite the opposite. The Splendor X is designed with advanced safety features and is actually more effective than many slower lasers. The speed comes from engineering innovations like the square spot size that covers more area efficiently, not from compromising on treatment quality. Patient safety and treatment effectiveness are our highest priorities.
A: Our practice stands behind our equipment with medical-grade devices and expert oversight. Many medspas use older IPL technology or less advanced lasers. We invest in the best equipment available and provide comprehensive after-sale support and service. This means you’re getting treatment from experts using the most effective technology on the market.
A: Yes, that’s exactly what the Splendor X’s speed and efficiency makes possible. The combination of the larger spot size and rapid pulse repetition means we can cover large areas like full legs much faster than with traditional lasers, without sacrificing results. Many of our patients are thrilled to fit treatments into their lunch breaks.
