LUMENIS Lightsheer –Laser Hair Removal

Permanent Laser Hair Reduction

LightSheer® DUET™ Diode laser

The Lightsheer laser technology provides a gentle and non-invasive solution for reducing unwanted hair on various areas of the body, including the face, back, legs, and bikini line. Depending on the specific area and your individual needs, multiple sessions may be required for the best results.

Effective Depth of Penetration

Thanks to its larger spot size, Lightsheer can penetrate deeper, allowing for better energy absorption at the hair follicle. Plus, it features unique technology designed specifically to minimize discomfort while maximizing safety and effectiveness.

FAQ's

What do I need to do to prep my skin before hair removal?
How many treatments will I need?

This all depends on your hair/skin type and the hair growth follicle cycle.  We recommend treatments within 6 – 12 weeks, depending on the body part.  10 treatments is the recommended duration.

Will certain medications prohibit me from doing this?

If you are on medications which make your skin photo-sensitive, (including oral and topical vitamin A’s, Antibiotics, and some Anti-depressants.)   

We have doctors onsite who can answer these questions.  Or you could speak with your GP.  Once we have clearance, we are able to test patch you with the laser to determine it is safe to begin the treatment.  

What areas can be treated?

Areas with red/brown/black hair can generally be treated.
