LightSheer® Laser

Permanent Hair Reduction for All Skin Types

Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent reduction and long-term hair removal. Treatment is specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body, safely eliminating hundreds of unwanted hair follicles instantly.

What are the benefits of LightSheer® Laser Hair Removal?

• The LightSheer® Laser is considered to be the 'Gold Standard' for safe and effective hair removal in all skin types.
• Risks of scarring and pigmentation changes are minimized with a special contact-cooling hand piece. It protects and cools the upper layer of skin before, during and after each laser pulse.
• You experience minimal to no down time. Resume regular activities immediately.
• Less pain and discomfort compared to other treatment methods.
• Large areas can be treated quickly.

Who are candidates for treatment?

Men, women and children have been successfully treated. Treatments are customized according to hair color, texture and location on the body. Nearly all hair colors (black, brown and red) can be treated. The administration is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins. Ask to schedule a consultation to determine if LightSheer® laser hair removal is right for you.

What is treatment like?

Preliminary setup requires cleansing and shaving of the area to be treated. The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles. The light energy is converted to heat and the thermal injury to the hair follicle inhibits re-growth of hair. Large areas such as backs, shoulders, abdomens and legs can be treated fairly quickly. Facial areas such as the lip, chin and beard can be treated in minutes. LightSheer® treatment is usually well-tolerated by most people.

How many treatments are required?

Because the laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, and since only a certain percentage of hair follicles are in the growth phase at any given time, more than one treatment is necessary to disable the hair follicles in a particular area. During your consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments.
