Microlysis
-------------
"New from Europe, a revolutionary new system of non-invasive permanent
hair removal. It's safe, effective and uses no needles. A gentle
current is emitted through three separate bioactive gel formulas
containing synthetic anti-androgen, mild acids and semi-caustic
electrolytes. The electric current carries the bio-active formulation
down to the dermal papilla (from which the hair grows). This causes a
reaction that substantially traumatizes, slows, weakens and dissolves
the hair. "

Hi -

You can purchase this product through EquipMed.  According to Palomar,
pricing is around $45,000 for one hand-piece.  Additional hand-pieces,
which are very different functions [different hair types and other
non-hair related usages], are arbout $10,000.  There are shipping
costs, taxes, duties, etc. that you may incur on top of these base
prices.

Please let me know where I can assist you further.

Additional hand-pieces, which are for different functions [different
