Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. LightSheer® delivers light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, LightSheer® can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with Electrolysis.   Understanding Laser Treatment.   A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles. The light emitted by the LightSheer Diode Laser is 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 several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth.   What are LightSheer® Treatments like?   LightSheer's cold handpiece greatly reduces any discomfort during treatment. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. no local anesthesia or pain medication is required. Some patients prefer a topical anesthesia when sensitive areas are treated.
