What is LightSheer Laser Hair Removal?
The laser produces a beam of highly controlled pulses of concentrated light that penetrate the skin, which discourages and ultimately destroys the hair follicles and the potential for re-growth without damaging the surrounding tissue. A large area can be treated quickly. You can continue your day as planned.
What Improvement will I see?
Unlike many other hair removal treatments like electrolysis or waxing, Laser hair removal leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer with less discomfort and more permanent results. The Laser treatment is a non-invasive approach specifically designed to safely remove unwanted hair from most parts of the body by disabling hundreds of hair follicles instantly.
How does the treatment work?
The area to be treated is cleansed and shaved (if needed) and a cooling gel is applied. The laser emits pulses of light to the surface area and the heat disables the hair follicles. After treatment, the area is cleansed and most of the hair wipes off instantly. The remaining hair falls out over the next one to two weeks. Large areas such as the legs, back, abdomen, and shoulders can be treated quickly, while facial areas can be treated in just minutes.
What is a treatment like?
Treatments are well tolerated by most individuals. There is very little discomfort. The laser works quickly and only a mild sting is felt. A topical anesthetic can be used for more sensitive areas, but pain medication is not required.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. Reducing sun exposure for several weeks before and after treatment will minimize the risk of complications. Some redness, blistering or soft scabbing is possible on the treatment area, but disappears quickly or within a few days. The skin may appear lighter or darker and will return to normal after a few days.
How many treatments are required?
Because the laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, more than one treatment will be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. During your consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments.
Who are candidates for treatment?
Men, women, and children can all be treated successfully. Each treatment can be personalized according to hair color, texture and location on the body. Nearly all hair colors - black, brown, and red - can be treated. The procedure is effective on all skin types. Your consultation will determine how the procedure can benefit you.
