About LightSheer Laser Treatment
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted by the LightSheer diode laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede the follicle's ability to re-grow. This process also treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously. Therefore, LightSheer is appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively.

An important part of the procedure is the cooling of the skin. A special contact-cooling hand-piece allows your physician to treat even the most sensitive skin. It 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.

How Long Does The Laser Hair Removal Take
Each laser pulse will treat an area of 3/8 of an inch or 9x9rnm. The amount of time needed depends on the size of area treated. As an example, the lip can be treated in less than 10 minutes, bikini/underarms together take 45 minutes, full legs 1.5 to 2 hours, full back/shoulders/neck takes 2 hours. These are average treatment times and will vary due to height and weight of the patient.
