Laser Hair Removal

Medical 4-Grade Laser – Diode Light Sheer

When treating unwanted hair, the melanin in the hair follicles is targeted and damaged which results in the disruption of hair growth and regeneration. Laser hair removal targets the entire hair structure, from the hair shaft, down to the follicle, meeting the principle of selective photo thermolysis. Light energy with a specific wavelength is primarily absorbed by the endogenous chromophore melanin resulting in rapid heating which is required for local thermal necrosis of the follicles’ regenerative structures.

A diode laser can be complemented by cooling technology, or other pain reducing methods which improve treatment efficacy and patient comfort.

The Lumenis Diode laser solution

Clients benefit from the LightSheer features and enjoy high patient satistfaction. The LightSheer uses high-power diode technology that can deliver high fluence. The 805nm diode laser wavelength offers the deepest penetration levels and superior melanin absorption. These unique characteristics make the diode laser the most suitable technology for laser hair removal, enabling safe and effective treatment of all skin and hair types, in all body areas.

The LightSheer technology by Lumenis has been validated in numerous clinical studies and peer reviewed articles.

To achieve permanent hair reduction, the laser system must be able to effectively treat the different hair types as well as the various skin types while providing maximum skin protection.

The laser’s wavelength, pulse duration and spot size determine the effectiveness of the treatment (on all skin types) and also influence the depth of penetration and treatment speed.
