Frequently Asked Questions:

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.
