About Laser Hair Removal
In the past, methods for hair removal included plucking, shaving, waxing, electrolysis and chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, all of them are time consuming and are associated with high cost. Lumenis® LightSheer® permanent hair reduction offers unparalleled treatment speed and efficacy with optimal patient comfort, more than 75% faster than the average hair reduction session, and also features the unique HIT™ and ChillTip™ technologies for pain relief.
When will I see results?
Multiple treatments are required to achieve permanent hair reduction. This is due to the increased effect of the laser on hair in the early growth stage. Not all the hairs are in the same phase at a given time.
How does it work?
The LightSheer® uses a state-of-the-art diode laser, which ensures safety for all skin types and ethnicities. Repeated laser pulses target existing hair, creating a direction of energy into the hair follicles that prevent future growth.
HIT™ Technology
The High-Speed Integrated Technology (HIT™) incorporates suction to elevate and stretch the skin. In doing so, the laser achieves maximum absorption into hair follicles and fast coverage of large areas, which minimize the sensation of heat.
ChillTip™ Technology
The ChillTip™ technology uses a proprietary cooling system to momentarily numb the skin to minimize pain, while compressing the handpiece to the skin to rotate the follicle and enable better results.
What can I expect after treatment?
The appearance of the treated area following treatment varies from patient to patient, depending on the characteristics of the patient and treatment given. During the treatment, some hairs will shed from the follicle immediately, while the remaining will shed in the following weeks. Transient redness and swelling around the hair follicle may appear immediately after the treatment, but are in fact, positive results indicating the follicle’s response to the treatment. Following the treatment, you will be provided with guidelines, namely in terms of sun exposure.
Cost
The cost of treatment depends on the size of area treated. Prices start from £45 for a small area, savings can be made by purchasing a course of treatment and there is always additional savings for multiple areas.
Common treatment areas are: face, underarm, bikini, legs and arms, chest and back.
