Light Sheer (diode) Laser Hair Removal
The Light Sheer diode laser is a state-of-the-art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, with less discomfort and more reliably than other methods. The length of a laser treatment may last from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. It is important to know that the hairs in an active growth phase(referred to as anagen) are the most affected by the laser. Since all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, multiple treatments are required to achieve the best result.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical anesthetic can be an option if needed. The appearance of the treated area immediately following treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure and skin type. Side effects, if any are usually minor. They may include redness and swelling around the hair follicle, which are in fact desired results and indicate that the follicle has responded to the treatment, not all follicle's will show the same response.
Hair Follicle phases:
- Anagen: Hair's active growth phase is called anagen. During anagen,the hair contains an abundance of melanin. Hairs in this phase are most affected by treatment.
- Catagen: This is the regression phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed.
- Telogen: The resting phase is called telogen, during which the old hair falls in preparation for the development of new hair.
