LIGHTSHEER is used for the removal of unwanted or unsightly hair. Laser hair removal is not just for women but is useful for men with unsightly hair on the back, shoulders, chest, and around the ears that seems to grow back faster than you can groom it.

HOW IS HAIR REMOVED WITH LIGHTSHEER? The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. In essence, these systems target pigment in the hair and around the follicle in an effort to destroy the hair follicles. Dark hair and the follicles contain most of the pigment melanin, which serves as the target for energy delivered by the laser. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented hair shaft and transferred to the melanin in the surrounding follicle. The heat build-up in a fraction of a second caused by the absorbtion of energy by the hair shaft itself is capable of creating follicular damage and retarding or preventing future hair production by that follicle but it is not long enough to damage the surrounding skin. The LightSheer laser's special cooling hand piece further protects the epidermis (upper layer of skin). This patented method of epidermal preservation allows delivery of more laser energy deeper into the skin where the hair follicles are located.
