How do LightSheer® treatments compare with Electrolysis? 

 

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. 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 hand piece 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.
