Laser Hair Removal

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Smooth Skin uses Lumenis LightSheer which is considered to be the gold standard in permanent hair reduction that safely and effectively treats unwanted hair on all skin types including ethnic and tanned skin.

In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair included plucking, shaving, waxing or chemical depilatories.  Some are painful, some are messy and all are only temporary. 

 For long-term hair removal, electrolysis is popular and effective, but it is a time-consuming procedure, which can be painful and is useful only in removing hair in small areas. 

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 your hair follicles.  During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede your follicle's ability to re-grow.  This process treats numerous hair follicles simultaneously.  Therefore, LightSheer is appropriate for treating even the largest areas of your body both quickly and effectively.

It is important to know that your hairs that are in an active growth phase 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 for you.
