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.

Tweezing & Depilatory Cream:
Tweezing:
Some women choose to tweeze unwanted hairs, but this isn't an ideal solution because repeated plucking can cause irritation of the hair follicle, and on darker-skinned women, may result in scarring. Also, hair will grow back thicker and stiffer once it's plucked. Unless you have just a few stray hairs that occasionally pop up, avoid tweezing.
Depilatory Cream:
Depilatory creams are creams or "shaving powders" that chemically dissolve hair at the base of the follicle. They are ideal for widespread areas like the legs, but can be problematic when used on the face because they irritate the skin and often don't remove all of the hair. On the plus side, depilatory creams are relatively inexpensive. On average, results will last for one or two weeks before you'll need a top-up.
