The promise of full body laser hair removal has always been appealing, but the time commitment was daunting—often requiring three to four hours per session. Until now. At The Appearance Care Center in Pacific Heights, we are redefining efficiency with the Lumenis Splendor X, making a comprehensive treatment in under an hour a reality for our San Francisco and Bay Area patients. This isn’t a compromise; it’s a technological leap in hair removal technology.
Founded by world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Corey S. Maas, The Appearance Care Center is part of The Maas Clinic, a practice built on medical excellence. We’ve brought this same standard to our non-surgical services, investing in the FDA-approved Splendor X to provide permanent hair reduction with unmatched speed. Our expert licensed laser technicians and aesthetic nurses use this device to safely treat arms, legs, back, chest, bikini line, and even facial hair in a single, efficient session, offering a path to smooth skin for both men’s grooming and women’s grooming needs.
The speed of the Splendor X isn’t magic; it’s engineering. Traditional lasers use a small, round spot and pause between pulses. The Splendor X features a large, square spot and rapid repetition rate, allowing our technicians to glide over large areas like your back and legs without missing a spot. This fast laser treatment capability, combined with its dual Alexandrite laser and Nd:YAG laser technology, ensures effective treatment for all Fitzpatrick skin types without sacrificing skin safety.
“Efficiency in aesthetic treatments is about respecting the patient’s time without compromising results. The Splendor X allows our team to deliver a level of service that was previously unimaginable—a full body treatment in the time it takes to watch a television show. This is the future of cosmetic dermatology,” says our Lead Aesthetic Nurse.

A: Yes. The speed comes from the laser’s advanced engineering, not a reduction in power or efficacy. Each pulse delivers the full, medically-effective energy needed to disable the hair follicle. In fact, the rapid treatment can be more effective as it reduces thermal diffusion, allowing energy to be focused precisely on the target.
A: Our standard full body session is designed to be comprehensive and includes all major areas: full legs, back, chest, abdomen, arms, underarms, and the bikini line. During your consultation, we will customize the treatment plan to focus on your specific goals and hair growth patterns.
A: While the per-session cost may be comparable to other medical-grade lasers, the overall value is significantly higher. You achieve your desired results in fewer sessions and save countless hours of your time. When you consider the time saved—over 2.5 hours per session—the investment in the Splendor X technology is unparalleled in the Bay Area.
A: The Splendor X is often more comfortable than slower lasers. Its integrated cooling system works continuously to soothe the skin, and the rapid pulses prevent heat from building up in any single area. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, mild snap of a rubber band.
A: Preparation is straightforward: shave the treatment areas 24 hours prior, avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks, and come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin. Our team will provide a complete pre-care guide during your consultation to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.
In a city where time is the most valuable currency, spending half a day on laser hair removal is no longer necessary. The Splendor X delivers the future of aesthetic services to our Pacific Heights clinic—offering the fastest, most effective path to being hair-free.
