Laser Hair Removal

LHR - illustration2 LightSheer™ Diode Laser is the most advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair. Great news for women and men who want to get rid of excess hair in areas like face, neck, abdomen, legs, bikini, underarms, back and chest.

Hair growth has three phases:
  • Anagen (active)
  • Catagen (regression)
  • Telogen (resting).

The length of the whole growth cycle depends on the body part, and lasts anywhere from 4 to 12 months. Hair reduction is considered permanent when a significant amount of hair does not return for a period of time longer than the complete growth cycle.

The length of a laser treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. It is important to know that the hairs in an active growth phase (referred to as anagen) are most affected by the laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, more than one treatment will be necessary to achieve the best result. 

How the Treatment Works
Lasers generate heat in the hair shaft, which diffuses to the stem cell and matrix targets to cause desired damage.
