Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the latest laser technology, which allows unwanted hair to be treated with a minimum of pain, inconvenience, and side effects. A laser produces a beam of highly concentrarted light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is one of the keys to its effect on hair follicles.

The light emitted by the LightSheer Diode Laser is well 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 numereous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth.

Importantly, LightSheer's special contact cooling handpiece is perfect for all skin types. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during and after each pulse while directing the laser energy to the hair root. The combination of this aggressive skin cooling and other key laser parameters allows safe and effective treatment of all skin colors.

The laser works by disabling hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the same time of treatment. At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. The laser cannot treat hair follicles that are dormant. Since the follicles are producing hair at different times, several treatments will be necessary.

The area to be treated should be shaved one day prior to treatment. You should not wax, or pluck for four to six weeks prior to treatment. In addition, patients should completely avoid sun exposure to the treated area for six weeks before and at least two weeks following treatments. A topical numbing cream can be used to decrease any mild discomfort from the treatments. To find out if laser hair removal is for you, come in for a complimentary laser hair removal consultation with our trained clinical staff.
