Shaving irritation
Ingrown hairs
Folliculitis
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
Hirsutism
how it works
Hair growth has 3 stages:
Anagen (active growing)
Catagen (resting)
Telogen (shedding)
The Lumenis LightSheer® XC Diode laser produces energy that penetrates the skin to the bulb of the hair follicle and melanin in the bulb of the hair follicle then absorbs the laser energy. Hairs in the anagen phase are still attached to the hair follicle allowing laser energy to permanently destroy the follicle. Approximately 20% of the area being treated is in the anagen phase. Hair in the catagen and telogen phase may “pop” out of the hair follicle during treatment but are already detached from the follicle therefore follicle can still have the ability to grow new hair.
This is the reason multiple treatments are recommended with certain intervals between each treatment. The equipment uses a cooling handpiece that provides comfort as the laser glides over the skin. The Zimmer® air cooling system is an additional comfort provided as you undergo your laser hair removal session. Laser hair removal works best with darker brown to black hair types and not that of red, blonde, grey, or white.

what to expect
How should I prepare for my procedure?
To prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, follow these steps:
Do not pluck, wax, or use electrolysis for 6 weeks (shaving and trimming is okay)
Do not sun tan or use tanning beds (minimum 4 weeks prior)
Do not use exfoliants for 1 week prior to treatment
Wear 30 SPF sunblock
Is there anything I should avoid post-procedure?
Once you have received your laser hair removal treatment, your skin may be sensitive. Follow these steps to avoid injuring your sensitive skin:
Wear 30 SPF sunblock
Do not sun tan or use tanning beds (minimum 2 weeks post)
Do not use exfoliants
Do not do heavy sweating after 24 hours
Avoid pools and hot tubs after 24 hours
How does the process work?
Please arrive at your appointment:
Clean shaven, free of products, no active tan of UV exposure or artificial.
A clear ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment area. The laser will glide over the skin producing a heat and snapping sensation like a rubber band. The cooling handpiece and cooling air system provide patient comfort.
The gel will be removed and a hydrating, calming product will be applied as well as ice packs are optional. You may smell burning hair during your treatment, and the skin’s surface may be red and/or swollen. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
