There is a Better Solution for Removing Unwanted Hair

But, when darker, coarser hair appears in places which may make you uncomfortable – like on the face, neck abdomen, breasts, legs or underarms in women or on the shoulders, chest and back in men, it may be time to consider hair removal with the Lightsheer diode laser.
Understanding Hair Removal
In the past the usual remedies for unwanted hair included plucking, shaving, waxing or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy and all are only temporary.
The only options for long-term hair removal are electrolysis or Laser Hair removal. Electrolysis is a time-consuming procedure, which can be painful and is useful only in removing hair in small areas. During electrolysis, an electric current passes through a needle to destroy each individual hair root. It typically takes months and numerous regular visits to clear even small areas, like the upper lip.
Laser hair removal is the more effective solution. The LightSheer diode laser is a state-of the art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster with less discomfort and more reliably than other methods.
About LightSheer Laser Treatment
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. 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.
An important part of the procedure is the cooling of the skin. A special contact-cooling handpiece allows your practitioner to treat even the most sensitive skin. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during and after each laser pulse while directing the laser energy to the hair root.
The combination of this cooling method and other key parameters allows for safe and effective treatment in all skin types, including ethnic and tanned skin.
What Can You Expect?
The length of a laser treatment may vary depending on the size of the area being treated. It is important to know that the hairs in active growth phase 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 minimal discomfort. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, a topical anesthetic can be an option. The appearance of the treated area immediately following treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure and skin type. Side effects, if any are minor. They 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. Most people return to normal activity right away.
