LASER HAIR REMOVAL WITH LIGHTSHEER™

Just imagine not having to tweeze, wax, shave or endure the long, painful hours of electrolysis again!  Men and women are now able to eliminate unwanted facial and body hair rapidly, safely and effectively.



The Lightsheer™ laser for hair removal is recognized as the "Gold Standard" in the industry.  Unlike other multi-platform IPL systems, the Lightsheer™ system was specifically designed from the ground up for effective hair removal.  Its patented chill tip technology provides continuous contact cooling of the epidermis for maximal patient safety and comfort. 

PROCEDURE

Once, you've taken the first step of booking a consultation, the laser technician will assess the area of concern, discuss all details of the treatment including post expectations and pre-treatment protocols, while addressing any concerns and questions you may have.   

Before treatment, all surface hair is removed by shaving to prevent any damage to the skin.  The laser emits a near-infrared laser light that is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle.  The laser generates heat in the hair shaft, which diffuses to the stem cell and matrix targets to cause desired damage.  



In addition to the treatment protocol, it is important to know the growth cycles of hair.  Hair growth has three stages:  Anagen (active stage), Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting).  In order to achieve permanent reduction, ideally the hair follicle should be infected by the laser during the anagen or active stage of hair growth.  Since approximately 15-25% of hairs are in this active growing stage at the same time, 4-8 treatments are generally required for best results.
