Most of our body is covered with hair. While the majority of this hair is fine and pale, sometimes darker coarser hair appears in places that make us uncomfortable or is culturally unacceptable, and we look for ways to remove it. The traditional methods of removing unwanted hair include shaving, waxing, plucking and chemical depilatories. They are inconvenient, can be painful and are all temporary. The advent of lasers gives men and women of all ages a safe and highly effective solution.

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The specific wavelength of light emitted by the LightSheer diode laser is preferentially absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, leaving the pigment in the skin itself intact (fig.1). Prior to the procedure, the treatment area is shaved (fig. 2). During the procedure the upper layer of the skin is compressed and cooled with the special sapphire tipped cooling handpiece of the laser (fig. 3). This procedure protects skin and makes the procedure more effective. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up the hair and destroy the follicle's ability to re-grow (fig. 4).The number of treatments required depend on the area treated, the coarseness and darkness of the hair.
