Laser Hair Removal

Lightsheer Duet

The wait for pain free hair removal is over!! Lightsheer has always been considered the "Gold Standard" in hair removal, and it has finally evolved to adapt to the pain threshold of a man. Sorry guys, but let's face it, you're a bunch of babies. And ladies, who can deny that your man could not endure the pain of a full back or chest waxing? Finally, there is no excuse for your man to not get laser hair removal. The LightSheer Duet laser is an advanced new technology designed to comfortably, quickly and painlessly remove unwanted hair.  Through the use of vacuum combined with a gentle laser pulse that delivers a beam of high-energy to the hair follicle, the follicle is either destroyed or damaged sufficiently through absorption of that energy to prevent re-growth. Okay, it may not be completely pain free, but if any of your husbands/boyfriends have endured a "cold" or "the flu", then this will be easy for both of you.

SoftLight Laser

The SoftLight laser is a Q-Switched Nd-Yag with a wavelength of 1064 nm. It is the safest laser used to perform laser hair removal on dark skinned patients, and it was the first laser approved by the FDA for laser hair removal. In the SoftLight hair removal process, a fine carbon lotion is applied to the skin to penetrate into the follicle and conduct absorbed laser energy to the follicular structures. The growing capacity of the hair is slowed by disabling follicles that are in a growth phase at the time of treatment. This is the only laser hair removal process which will turn most of the treated hairs blonde while rejuvenating the skin, leaving it smoother with each successive treatment.

Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal

Redness and swelling are common following laser hair removal, especially at higher energies, and resolve in minutes to hours. Occasionally superficial blistering can occur, and these patients can experience transient pigmentary changes such as lightening or darkening of the skin, which may last weeks or rarely longer. The risk of infection or scarring is extremely low. During the weeks after treatment, damaged hair follicles are extruded and shed, which is sometimes misinterpreted as early regrowth.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Hair is natural to your body and it grows in stages. At any given time, not all hairs are growing. Lasers are most effective at targeting growing hairs. In practice, no laser destroys all of the hair follicles. Some follicles are destroyed, while others are miniaturized into fine hairs, and others are shocked into prolonged dormancy. Multiple treatment are needed for best results, and the best interval for re-treatment depends on the hair cycle growth patterns in that area of the body. It is possible that with a sufficient number of treatments, true "permanent hair removal" can ultimately be achieved, but not for every single hair present in a given area. Be advised that the FDA cleared these lasers for "permanent hair reduction," and not "permanent hair removal," which is advertised by many clinics.
