How does the LightSheer Diode Laser System work?

In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, shaving or electrolysis. Some are painful; some are messy and most are temporary. A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light 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 numerous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair’s re-growth.

Our laser, the Lumenis Light Sheer, has a special contact-cooling hand piece called the ChillTip, which is perfect for sensitive skin. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during and after each pulse thus 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 types.
