Laser Hair Removal
Lumenis Lightsheer
Receiving the Gold Standard in Laser Hair Removal in the WORLD!
The Lumenis LightSheer Diode Laser- the world’s most advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair. The combination of the cooling method and other key parameters allows the safe and effective treatment in all skin types, including ethnic and tanned skin!
Q: How does the LightSheer Diode Laser System work?
A: The system emits near-infrared laser light that is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system's unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.
Q: What advantages does the LightSheer have over other laser hair removal systems?
A: The LightSheer System was designed from the ground up for laser hair removal, it has the wavelength, fluence, pulse width, and active epidermal cooling system ideally suited for laser hair removal. Lumenis has been in the business of making medical and cosmetic lasers for more than 30 years, so they've been able to develop an unparalleled system.
Q: Why should I use the LightSheer Diode Laser System rather than other methods?
A: The LightSheer Diode Laser System's design provides for enhanced comfort during treatment, minimal risk of infection, speed and accuracy. Since the system uses a unique cooling handpiece, it minimizes skin irritation that other methods may create. Since it is non-invasive (no needles to penetrate the skin), the risk of introducing bacteria into the skin is reduced. Because the system is fast, it allows for larger areas to be treated, considerably increasing the efficiency of the hair removal process. Finally, the LightSheer Diode Laser is a precise instrument that can be adjusted to damage only the hair follicle while minimally affecting the surrounding skin.
Q: Does the LightSheer work on tanned or different skin colors?
A: The LightSheer diode laser system safely and effectively treats all skin types as well as tanned skin. Using the appropriate treatment parameters, people with all skin types can benefit from laser hair removal with the LightSheer.
Q: Are the Results Permanent?
A: The LightSheer laser has been cleared by the FDA for hair removal and permanent hair reduction on all skin types and tanned skin. To achieve a satisfactory level of clearance, 3-5 treatments are typically required.
LightSheer Versatility
Lasers have been used for hair removal for several years, but few have had the properties to give them the versatility of the LightSheer system to successfully treat leg veins, benign pigmented lesions and pseudofolliculitis barbae:
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB) PFB, or razor bumps, is a common condition in which the regrowing hair, after shaving, curves back towards and pierces the skin resulting in a pustule or papule. PFB is very prevalent in populations with curly hair, affecting nearly 85% of men of African decent and a growing number of women. The LightSheer's excellent safety profile for all skin types including the darkest skin, makes it a safe, effective and revolutionary alternative for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae.
