Laser Hair Removal

LightSheer

Females typically have little hair on their faces, apart from eyebrows and the vellus hair that covers most of their bodies. Many females shave, tweeze or otherwise depilate facial hair because of the social stigma.  In serious  conditions and for those who want this for cosmetic reasons , Laser Hair Removal is for permanent hair reduction.

Laser hair removal is the use of laser energy to produce long-term hair reduction. This is done by heating up the hair, which transfers to the hair follicle, this becomes inflamed, and this inflammation sends a signal to the hair follicle to go into the resting phase. The laser is directed onto the skin, where the laser high-energy light becomes absorbed by melanin located in the hair follicles. Once the laser light is absorbed, it changes into heat, and destroys the entire part of the follicle responsible for the growth of new hair.

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The laser light that is emitted by the LightSheer™ diode laser is immediately absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses last for only a fraction of a second, this is long enough to heat up the hair and impede the follicle’s ability for re-growth. This will treat numerous hair follicles at the same time.An important and main part of this procedure is the cooling off of the skin. A special contact-cooling hand-piece protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during, and after each laser pulse while directing the laser energy to the hair root. Depending on the area being treated, a treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more. For permanent hair reduction it takes a series of four to six treatment sessions spaced three to four weeks apart!
