How does the LightSheerTM Diode System work?
The near-infrared laser light emitted by the system is preferentially absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece (the ChillTipTM) helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery. 3. Is the hair removal permanent? Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results are variable. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative. In fact, most people experience long-term hair removal. 4. Is it safe? As with any medical treatment, use of the LightSheerTM Diode System can have some side effects. However, side effects have been minor and manageable in clinical use.
