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.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Laser Hair Removal
If you are concerned about unwanted hair, you are probably a good candidate for laser hair
removal. Individuals with fair skin, and dark hair are typically the best candidates, however
the LightSheer can adapt its settings to treat any skin colour. If you have white, gray or light
blonde hair, recent sun exposure (including self-tanning lotions, and tanning beds), pregnant, or you are taking a sun sensitive medication (like accutane), you may not be eligible for treatment
