LASER HAIR REMOVAL

"WHY DOES THE LASER WORK BETTER THAN ELECTROLYSIS?"
In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, waxing, shaving, or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, and all are only temporary. For long-term hair removal, electrolysis is popular and effective but can be painful and slow. It typically takes months or even years of regular repeat treatments – even for small areas, like between your eyebrows. Risks include electrical shock, infection, and pitting or scarring.

"HOW DOES THE COHERENT LIGHTSHEER DIODE LASER WORK?"
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles.

The light emitted by the LightSheer Diode Laser is absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth.

Importantly, LightSheer’s special contact cooling hand piece cools and protects the surrounding skin while bringing the laser energy as close as possible to the hair root.

"WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT?"
The length of a laser session maybe a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. Because the laser tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, more than one treatment may be required to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter this growth phase. However, one treatment may result in a significant enough improvement that it may be all you desire or require.

"DOES THIS PROCEDURE HURT?"
The laser treatment itself can cause a slight – tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. But because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical numbing cream is available.

"WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER A LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT?"
The appearance of the treated area immediately after a laser session will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of treatment. Immediate after effects, if any, are minor. They may include redness and swelling, which disappear in a short time. Most people return to normal activity right away.
