As a woman, you're probably not happy to discover dark, coarse hair in places you donıt like or expect like on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, bikini or arms and legs. Or maybe you're just tired of all the shaving, waxing, or chemical depilatory applications it takes to look good in a high-cut bathing suit, shorts, or even a knee-length skirt.
As a man, you probably take it for granted that parts of your body are covered with coarse, dark hair. And grooming tasks, such as shaving or trimming your beard and mustache, are part of your normal routine. But what you may not like is that bothersome excess hair on your back or shoulders, around the ears, or between the eyebrows that seems to grow back faster than you can pluck or shave it. Or, perhaps youıre a competitive athlete for whom regular shaving of body hair is an annoying chore.
NOW THERE IS A MODERN PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR UNWANTED HAIR
The new, state of the art, specially designed Light Sheer Diode Laser. This new laser has been specifically engineered to effectively remove excess, unwanted hair much faster, more reliably, and more comfortably than standard methods like electrolysis and thermolysis and without the mess, bother, and constant upkeep of shaving, waxing, and applying depilatories.
To understand how the LightSheer diode laser works, it helps to know a little more about how hair grows and how laser light vaporizes unwanted hair.
HOW DOES HAIR GROW?
Hair forms in a pouch-like structure below the skin called a hair follicle. What we see as hair is actually the hair shaft, which is the keratinized, hardened tissue that grows from this follicle.
The thicker, fully pigmented hair most people consider "real hair" is called terminal hair. This hair is found on the face, arms and legs, trunk, and genital areas. This is the hair the laser treats.
Everyone's hair grows differently, depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medications, and other factors. But all hair goes through three distinct growth phases:
- Active growth phase (called the anagen phase), which lasts up to several years. During anagen, the hair has an abundance of melanin.
- Regressive phase (catagen phase), which lasts about two weeks, during which the hair stops growing but is not yet shed.
Resting phase (telogen phase), which lasts 5-6 weeks, at the end of which the hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. The LightSheer diode laser most effectively disables hair that is in the active growth (anagen) phase. Because all the hair in a treated area may not be in the anagen phase, more than one laser treatment may be necessary to remove the hair that subsequently enters the growth phase.
HOW DOES THE LASER REMOVE THE UNWANTED HAIR?
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The type of light waves a laser uses, determines how effective the laser will be in removing unwanted hair.
The light emitted by the LightSheer diode laser has been specifically chosen to be the best for absorption by the pigment (melanin) located in hair follicles (melanin pigments give hair its color) and hair shaft. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment disabling several hair follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth but not long enough to damage the surrounding skin. The LightSheer diode laserıs special contact-cooling handpiece further protects the epidermis (upper layer of skin). This patented method allows delivery of more laser energy deeper into the hair follicle while maintaining protection of the epidermal layer and making the LightSheer the most gentle of the lasers available today.
WE CAN HELP YOU
The LightSheer diode laser is able to treat a broader range of all skin colors than most other hair-removal lasers. It is delicate enough for a woman's fine, sensitive skin and robust enough for a manıs beard, back, or arms. The effectiveness and gentleness of this laser is second to none.
The procedure is fast, gentle, and precise, and is effective on dark hair regardless of skin tone or type. Treatments that might span months or even years with electrolysis or thermolysis take a few short visits with the LightSheer laser. All procedures are performed in our medical office. Recovery is rapid, and patients return to normal activities right away.
