The laser light targets the pigment in the hair follicle beneath the skin. When the laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft, the follicle is damaged and will be completely destroyed or result in prolonged delay of hair regrowth. Hair follicles, which are in the active growth stage, are better targets for absorbing the laser light and hence are more effectively damaged and destroyed. No more waxing, plucking, shaving, or electrolysis. Unwanted hair can be effectively removed from the lip, chin, cheeks, underarm areas, bikini line, chest and back, and legs.
Laser treatment causes little or no discomfort and sessions are separated by two month intervals.
Usually, a minimum of three treatments is necessary to achieve optimum results. The LightSheer is a hair removal laser manufactured by Coherent Laser Corporation. It is also the first laser approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction. The cooling tip also has a mild anesthetic property allowing tender areas to be treated in a relatively painless fashion. Hair follicles develop from a complex series of interactions between different elements of the skin.
