In response to the ever-increasing demand to remove unwanted hair, the Lightsheer diode laser system produces long-lasting results on virtually any body area. The Lightsheer family of diode lasers is recognized as the “Gold Standard” for hair removal.  Using state-of-the-art technology, this laser operates at the optimal wavelength of light that is best absorbed by both the hair shaft and follicle, while protecting the surface skin from heat damage. 

 

The Lightsheer laser can effectively treat all skin types and the broadest range of hair colors, diameters, and depths.  This laser has a patented Chill Tip that provides continuous contact cooling of the skin for maximal patient safety and comfort.  This feature helps to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment, decrease skin damage, and minimize any discomfort. 

 

The Lightsheer laser also treats certain spider veins in the legs.  The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the blood.  The temperature within the treated blood vessel raises sufficiently for it to collapse and break down, and over time to disappear almost completely.

 

 

 

 

 

What conditions are treated with the Lumenis Lightsheer laser?

 

  • Permanent hair reduction – face, underarms, bikini line, back, legs, etc.

 

  • Leg veins – blue veins

 

  • Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB) – razor bumps that are prevalent in populations with curly hair, affecting nearly 85% of men of African decent and a growing number of women.  The condition occurs when hair regrows after shaving, and curves back towards and pierces the skin resulting in a pustule of papule.
