The Next Generation of Safe, Fast & Effective Hair Removal
At Stamatiou Aesthetics, we offer the Vectus™ Diode Laser, the most advanced laser hair removal technology developed by Palomar Medical Inc. in collaboration with the world-renowned Wellman Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital.
This state-of-the-art system is designed to deliver safe, highly effective hair reduction for all skin types—including darker skin tones—using its integrated Skintel™ Melanin Reader, the only FDA-approved and patented melanin reader available worldwide.
Why Choose Vectus™?
High Power & Efficiency – Vectus™ delivers up to 4500 W of power, making it more than twice as powerful as other diode lasers.
Fewer Sessions Needed – Greater energy delivery per pulse and its photo-recycling system (which reuses 25% of reflected energy) means better results in fewer treatments.
Effective on Fine & Fair Hair – Unlike many older devices, Vectus™ can successfully treat lighter and finer hairs.
Speed & Comfort – With the largest spot size available (8.7 cm² ), a full leg, back, or chest can be treated in under 30 minutes. The advanced contact cooling system keeps skin comfortable and reduces discomfort.
Safe for All Skin Tones – Thanks to the Skintel™ Melanin Reader, treatment parameters are customized for your exact skin type, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk.
Minimized Downtime – Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Sunscreen should be applied to treated areas prior to sun exposure.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Virtually any body area can be treated, including:
- Face & Neck: upper lip, chin, cheeks, nose, ears
- Upper Body: arms, underarms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, hands
- Lower Body: legs, feet, buttocks, bikini & Brazilian area
- Other Areas: fingers, toes
How Does Vectus™ Work?
The laser energy targets melanin in the hair shaft, heating it to a temperature that destroys the follicle’s stem cells.
The surrounding skin remains protected due to:
- Gentle, plateau-type pulses – avoiding hot spots and burns
- Advanced cooling system that reduces skin temperature by up to 10°C
This process is based on the Extended Theory of Selective Photothermolysis, ensuring that energy is diffused to follicular stem cells—structures that cannot be directly targeted by li
What to Expect During Treatment
- Treatments are quick: smaller areas (lip, underarms) take just minutes; larger areas (legs, back) 20–30 minutes.
- Most patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or warmth. For sensitive areas, a numbing cream may be applied prior to the session.
- Temporary redness or swelling is possible but resolves quickly.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are required.
On average, 4–8 sessions spaced 6–10 weeks apart provide optimal long-term reduction.
Factors such as hair thickness, hormone balance, and growth cycles influence the exact number of treatments.
How Should I Prepare?
To ensure the best results:
- Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least 4 weeks before treatment (shaving is allowed).
- Arrive with the treatment area clean and shaved.
- No self-tanner, solarium or sun exposure for 5 days prior to treatment (use sunscreen for your sun exposure)

Yes The Vectus™ laser was designed with one of the widest safety margins in the industry, featuring:
- Even energy distribution (no hot spots)
- Skin cooling technology for comfort and protection
- The Skintel™ Melanin Reader for personalized treatment settings
