LASER HAIR REMOVAL – LightSheer® DUET™ The LightSheer® DUET™ is the most exciting and ground-breaking innovation in laser hair removal technology since LightSheer® first revolutionized the industry over 20 years ago. The DUET™ is FDA approved, high-speed (treatments are completed quicker) and more comfortable. Previously, laser hair removal of large areas such as a man’s back or a woman’s legs was a drawn out and an uncomfortable experience. With the DUET™ these two hour long laser hair removal treatments are reduced 20 or 30 minutes and with minimal discomfort. LightSheer® The LightSheer® is recognized as the “Gold Standard” for laser hair removal. This state-of-the-art laser hair removal technology is FDA approved, safe and very effective. It has dominated the market for over 20 years and produces permanent results for unwanted hair. In addition, our clients find the sensation of the actual laser hair removal treatment to be easily tolerable with minor distress. However, for clientswho are very sensitive, a topical anesthetic may be applied to alleviate any discomfort. During a free consultation, one of our specialists will determine which laser hair removal technology is best suited for you.

What can I expect during laser treatment? Treatment will take place in your practitioner’s office. Your practitioner will use a small handpiece to deliver each laser pulse. A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated. Does it hurt? Some patients may feel aslight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by the patented Dynamic Cooling DeviceTM (DCDTM) or air cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner. How many treatment sessions will I need? The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required. How do I prepare for treatment? Hair removal patients should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. Do not expose the intended treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light priorto or immediately after treatment. Apply sunblock (SPF 30 or above) before treatment. What can I expect after treatment? A cool compress or gel pack may be applied for comfort following your treatment. Any redness or swelling should resolve within a few hours. What precautions should I take after treatment? After your laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may advise additional precautions. Are there side effects? Permanent side effects are rare, and may include redness, swelling, hyper pigmentation, hypopigmentation, blistering and purpura (a laser bruise) in the treated area—these usually do not last more than a few days. Be sure to discuss potential side effects with your practitioner. How much do treatments cost? Cost depends on the area and condition being treated.
