Understanding Hair Removal
In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking,
shaving, waxing 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. Hair by hair, an electric current passes
through a needle to destroy the hair root’s ability to grow. It
typically takes months or even years of regular visits – even
for small areas, like the upper lip. Risks include electrical
shock, infection, pitting or scarring.
Now, there is a more effective solution, the LightSheer Diode
Laser. LightSheer is a state-of-the-art system specially
designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully and more
reliably than electrolysis. Depending on your needs, most body
areas can be treated with the LightSheer Diode Laser.
Understanding Laser Treatment
The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The
pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light emitted by the
LightSheer Diode Laser. 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.
What You Can Expect
The laser session may last from only 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.
The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling
sensation. For more sensitive areas of the body, topical
anesthesia is available.
