Frequently Asked Questions:

Dora's Body Care & Health Spa, Salmon Arm BC Canada

Can anyone have Laser treatments?
Almost everyone can receive laser treatment, although some people will have better results than others. Light skin and dark hair are the ideal combination for the laser to work most effectively. Blonde, grey and white hair lack enough pigment for the laser to target. Good results are difficult to achieve on tanned skin, therefore, the fall and winter months are ideal times to begin your treatments. Darker skin types will require more sessions to see the best results.

How does the Laser work?
The LightSheer uses a process called Photothermolysis, and emits a pulse of high energy light which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. Lasers are only effective during the growth phase. This means that more than one session (generally between 3 and 6) are usually required to target each growth stage. The LightSheer has a "ChillTip" on the application head to help reduce the surface temperature of your skin and to prevent thermal injury.

What can I expect during a treatment?
Having Laser performed feels similar to a series of pinpricks or elastic band snaps on the skin. The procedure is quick, lasting a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the area treated. Some areas are more sensitive than others, and if necessary, a topical numbing cream can be applied prior to treatment. Following treatment, the area will likely be red and feel similar to a sunburn, lasting a few minutes to a day or two. Most often people can return to their regular activities post-treatment.

How should I prepare for my treatment?
Avoid the sun or tanning beds for 4 - 6 weeks prior to and following treatment. Do not wax, tweeze, thread or bleach the hairs to be lasered for 4 - 6 weeks. Shaving is allowed, as are cream depilatories. Avoid AHA's, astringents and glycolics 4 weeks prior to treatments. Shave the area to be treated the night before, as there is to be no hair on the surface of the skin.
