Quite often, people present to us with light and dark hair that they want to have removed permanently. What we do is create a treatment plan. Typically, we will do the laser first to see what the laser can see. And the laser typically is able to see better, darker hairs. So we first do a treatment that way and then, the following treatments are used with electrolysis, where we’re using a tiny probe to cauterize that root of the hair.

The near-infrared laser light emitted by the system is preferentially absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece cools the skin during the laser energy delivery.
Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results are variable. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative. In fact, most people experience long-term hair removal.

As with any medical treatment, use of the LightSheer Diode System can have some side effects. However, side effects have been minor and manageable in clinical use. The precise laser parameters used for the LightSheer Diode System were carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the color of laser light and the pulse duration to the size, depth, and location of the hair follicle. This research has resulted in a safe technique that effectively eliminates the risk of scarring and substantially reduces most other complications following treatment.
No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. The LightSheer Diode System is fast which reduces treatment time. It provides long-lasting hair removal, reducing the need for repeated treatment. The cooling lens helps reduce discomfort while protecting the skin surface from thermal injury during delivery of the laser light. If large or sensitive areas with unwanted hair are to be treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to further reduce discomfort.
Immediately after treatment, the site will be somewhat swollen, appear slightly red in color, and will feel like a mild sunburn. This reaction subsides over a few hours, and then the treated sites usually return to their normal appearance. The amount of discomfort after this procedure is usually minimal and does not limit most normal physical activities. Since light is used to remove the hair, there is no bleeding and no open wound is created. For this reason, there is no need to apply a bandage and wound care is generally not required.
Each pulse of laser energy from the LightSheer Diode System will treat a square area of skin of approximately half an inch (12mm). For this reason, the amount of time required depends on the size of the area requiring treatment. For example, the upper lip and bikini line may require only 5-15 minutes of treatment. While a longer period of time will be required to treat the back or legs.
Electrolysis is a hair removal technique that uses electric currents to destroy hair follicles. A fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle, and an electric current is applied, which effectively prevents new hair from growing. The process can be done on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, and bikini area.
The process of electrolysis involves:
Electrolysis is a highly effective method for achieving permanent hair removal. By destroying hair follicles with electric currents, it prevents future hair growth, offering a lasting solution. While multiple sessions are required to address all hair growth phases, the results can be permanent with consistent treatment. There is the possibility of regrowth due to hormonal imbalances or changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause, can stimulate new hair growth even after electrolysis.
Electrolysis is FDA Approved. Studies have shown that electrolysis does not pose long-term health risks when performed correctly. The electrical currents used are low and localized, making them safe for repeated treatments.
The pain level experienced during electrolysis can vary significantly from person to person due to factors such as pain tolerance, the treatment area, and individual skin sensitivity. Most individuals describe the sensation as a series of quick, sharp stings or tingling feelings. Some compare it to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. No medication or numbing agents are needed. After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, light scabbing, and sesntivity.

Individual treatments depend on the area being treated. Sessions can rage to 15 minutes for a small area, such as chin to 2 hours for larger areas like the back or legs.
The total duration to achieve permanent hair removal varies widely but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. Consistency and adherence to the treatment schedule are key to achieving the best results within this timeframe.
