Laser Hair Removal

Lumenis LightSheer High Speed Duet is the premier standard of lasers for permanent hair reduction.

The LightSheer HS Duet can be used safely on most skin types with incredible results. Unwanted hair can be permanently reduced on almost any area of the body. Laser energy stunts your hair follicles reducing or eliminating further hair growth.

Unlike shaving, waxing, depilatories and plucking, laser hair removal provides a long-term growth delay and permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is fast and effective. Where electrolysis treats a single hair at a time, laser hair removal can cover large areas rapidly.

Our Duet high speed laser is a comfortable and fast laser with excellent results in a third of the time. Depending on the area(s) to be treated, laser hair removal can take only a few minutes. The most commonly treated areas, bikini line, upper lip, chin, and underarms typically require less than 15 minutes per treatment. A man’s entire back or ladies’ legs can be completed in approximately 20 minutes.

Treatment

Every patient is different. In general, lighter skinned patients will require fewer treatments than darker skinned patients but all will require a minimum of 5 treatments spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart to achieve satisfactory results. There is no guarantee that each patient will achieve any level of permanent hair reduction however, on average, most patients can expect to achieve an 80-90% permanent reduction in the number of hairs following a full course of treatment.

Results and Effects

After laser hair removal, the treated site may have a mild sunburn sensation for 24 hours or longer. Slight redness and swelling surrounding the treated hair follicles are normal and is actually an indicator of a good clinical response. Although, irritating preparations (glycolic acid, retinoids etc.) should be avoided, and make-up can be applied to the treated area shortly after treatment if desired.
