Q. Why Should I Choose LightSheer Hair Removal?
A. With so many different types of laser systems available today for the removal or reduction of unwanted hair, making a decision on which one to choose can be difficult and frustrating. Taking into consideration the major concerns of safety and effectiveness, there are four key factors which make the LightSheer our first choice for laser Hair Removal.
- FDA Approved for Permanent Laser Reduction
This is perhaps the most important and reassuring factors for this laser. With FDA approval for permanent reduction, we no longer have to guess if the treatment really works, because through extensive case studies and documentation, the LightSheer Diode Laser has proven in fact to give a permanent result.
- Patented Chill Tip
The Chill Tip is a patented cooling lens designed exclusively for the LightSheer. During treatment, this lens is pressed directly against the skin allowing a larger amount of energy to be focused through the skin and into the hair. This lens makes treatments safer and more comfortable by helping to prevent burns associated with other laser or “non-laser” light systems.
- Wavelength 810nm
Among other things, the laser wavelength is what determines what colors will be attracted to the light emitted by the laser. The 810nm wavelength is ideal for passing through light skin and being absorbed into darker pigments. Even more effective than 1064nm. The advanced technology of this laser even has a setting designed to lengthen the pulse duration of the laser beam, making it safer and more effective to use on some darker skinned people.
- Compression Factor
Unlike other laser or “non-laser” hair removal systems that pulse or flash light onto the skin from few centimeters away, LightSheer Chill Tip is pressed directly onto the skin while the laser pulses. In addition to allowing more energy to be delivered through the skin (as opposed to bouncing way) while it cools to prevent burns and make treatments more comfortable, the “pressing down” onto the skin makes it easier for the hairs to absorb the laser energy and be destroyed because there is more surface area exposed.
Q. How Many Treatments will I Need?
A. Usually 4 treatments will be sufficient. After your treatments are completed, you can expect to have anywhere from 75% - 100% permanent hair reduction. Each person will respond slightly different due to many factors that influence hair growth. Dr. Wright will help you determine the number of treatments that you may require for optimal long-term benefit.
Q. What if I have Dark Skin?
A. The LightSheer can safely and effectively treat most dark skin patients successfully. The patented Chill Tip allows treatments to be safer by helping to prevent tissue injury. The advanced technology of this laser even has a setting designed to lengthen the pulse duration of the laser beam, making it safer and more effective to use on some darker skinned people.
Q. What are the Treatments Like?
A. LightSheer Laser Hair Removal treatments are both gentle and effective. First, we cleanse the area to be treated and then apply a topical anesthetic to remove any possible discomfort during the process. Treatments can last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the area being treated. Each laser session must be done 4 – 6 weeks apart.
Q. How do I get Started?
A. The first step is to schedule a consultation appointment by contacting us here. Your consultation appointment will generally last about one hour. Dr. Wright will personally create your treatment plan with you in order to achieve the most efficient and effective results.
