Laser Hair Removal

Permanently reduces unwanted hair

The LightSheer™ diode laser is a state-of-the-art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, with less discomfort and more reliability than other methods. A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted by the LightSheer™ diode laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. Therefore, laser hair removal does not work on non-pigmented hair, like blond or gray hair.

During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede the follicle’s ability to re-grow. This process also treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously. Therefore, LightSheer™ is appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively.

The length of a laser treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. The hairs in an active growth phase (referred to as anagen) are most affected by the laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, more than one treatment will be necessary to achieve the best result.

The laser treatment itself may cause some discomfort, and because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical anesthesia can be an option. The appearance of the treated area immediately following treatment will vary from patient to patient. Side effects may include redness and swelling around the hair follicle, which are, in fact, desired clinical results and indicate that the follicle has responded to the treatment.
