Laser Hair Removal

The new LightSheer DUET by Lumenis is the Gold Standard in laser hair removal. The DUET system offers several innovative improvements over previous laser hair removal systems. Vacuum assisted technology combined with a dramatic increase in the laser spot size enables a greater depth of penetration, and improved absorption of energy at the hair follicle. These improvements mean the treatment times are reduced by 75% in many cases, for instance we can treat backs and legs comfortably, without anesthetics and gels. The number of treatments required depends on several factors including hair and skin type. Laser hair removal treats hair in an active growth phase. Since all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, 4 or more treatments may be necessary for the best results. The LightSheer DUET system is a quick and pain free way to permanently remove unwanted hair from your legs, back, face, bikini, and other areas of your body where unwanted hair is a problem.

New Solutions: Laser Technology for Safe, Comfortable, Permanent Hair Reduction Advanced technology lasers and light sources are rapidly changing hair removal treatment, providing gentle, non-invasive and long-lasting solutions to unwanted hair. Among laser and light-based devices, the LightSheer™ Diode Laser System provides a safe, effective solution for both men and women. The laser uses targeted flashes of light to block the regrowth potential of the hair follicle. These treatments do not damage surrounding tissue, and targets numerous hair follicles simultaneously, allowing for the treatment of large areas quickly and effectively. The LightSheer Diode Laser System is one of the most efficient options available for light-based treatment of unwanted hair. Numerous published studies in professional medical journals attest to the LightSheer system's safety and long-term effectiveness. Unlike other hair removal tools, the LightSheer system incorporates the ChillTip™ technology ,

which continuously cools the skin. This proprietary feature helps to:
* Maximize the effectiveness of the treatment
* Minimize any discomfort
* Allow for treatment of all skin types

In addition, the LightSheer system technology has proven effective on a wide range of hair colors, from blonde through auburn to brown and dark black hair. Most important, LightSheer systems successfully remove hair from all skin types - from porcelain white through olive to dark brown complexions, including tanned skin. Hair can be treated on any part of the body, no matter how deep the follicles may reside. Treatment of sensitive areas like the lips, ears, nose, underarm and bikini line can usually be tolerated easily.

Another key advantage is the LightSheer system's large treatment area, enabling the device to cover more area in substantially less time. In fact, approximately 100 - 200 hairs can be treated with each zap of the laser, so that large swaths of hair on the legs, back and chest can be treated quickly in a single session. At the same time, LightSheer can be very precisely focused, so that hair is eliminated from delicate places.

The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to specific skin types and color, thickness and density of hair. Dr. Ahdoot at the Cosmetic L Laser Center of Irvine customizes treatment programs to each individual's needs, and gives each patient an estimate of how many sessions will likely be needed in order to meet their expectations. It is important to understand that hairs in an active growth phase (anagen) are most affected by treatments. Since all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, several treatments are necessary to achieve the best results.
