Lumenis Light Sheer Laser Hair Removal
The Gold Standard in Laser Hair Removal by Lumenis – the World Leaders in Laser Technology.
What is it?
Methods for hair removal included plucking, shaving, waxing, electrolysis and chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, all of them are time consuming and costly. LightSheer® is a permanent hair reduction solution based on clinically proven diode laser technology. LightSheer is comfortable and effective.
It features two laser hair removal technologies:
- High Speed Vacuum Assisted technology for large treatment areas, requiring no prep and no gel
- ChillTip™ Sapphire integrated cooling for smaller more delicate treatment areas
How does it work?
LightSheer Technology - LightSheer® uses a state-of-the-art diode laser handpiece with 805 nm wavelength which allows a tailored treatment for all skin types. A laser pulse targets and damages the hair follicle while the surrounding tissue remains unharmed. The LightSheer® allows us to customise the treatment for your skin type, hair type and lifestyle by utilising 2 different handpieces.
High Speed Integrated Vacuum Assisted Technology - High Speed technology incorporates suction to elevate and stretch the skin. In doing so, the laser achieves maximum absorption into hair follicles while covering a large area, shortening treatment time and reducing the sensation of heat.
ChillTip™ Integrated Cooling Technology - ChillTip™ technology uses a proprietary integrated Sapphire cooling system that momentarily numbs the skin while compressing the handpiece to the skin rotating the hair follicle for better energy absorption.
What should I expect?
When will I see results? - Multiple treatments are required to achieve permanent hair reduction. This is due to the increased effect of the laser on hair in the early growth stage (anagen). Not all the hairs are in the same phase at a given time.
What can I expect after treatment? - The appearance of the treated area following treatment varies from patient to patient, depending on the characteristics of the patient and treatment given. During the treatment, some hairs will shed from the follicle immediately, while the remaining will shed in the following weeks. Transient redness and swelling around the hair follicle may appear immediately after the treatment, but are in fact, positive results indicating the follicle’s response to the treatment. Following the treatment, you will be provided with guidelines, namely in terms of sun exposure.
