Tired of tweezing, shaving, or waxing to
remove unwanted hair? Laser hair removal may be the procedure for you.
The latest technology, called LightSheer Desire, solves one of
the main fears patients voice when meeting Dr. Frank – how painful will
it be?
LightSheer Desire is considered the new gold standard, probably the best
hair removal technology available on the market today. It was designed
to quickly remove hair from large areas such as the back and the legs
with minimal discomfort. The device generates vacuum that stretches the
skin and reduces the sensation of heat. Small, delicate areas are
treated with a cool tip that balances the heat of the laser and makes
treatments comfortable enough so that there is no need for anesthetic
gels prior to each session. The laser works well on all skin types and
can remove light and dark hair.
Laser hair removal 101
As one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedures, laser hair
removal uses a highly concentrated laser to destroy hair follicles and
remove hair. These intense beams of light target individual hair
follicle through the skin. The heat damages the follicle; thus, removing
the hair and preventing future hair growth. Common areas for this
procedure include upper lip, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
Although laser hair removal does not guarantee hair removal forever, it
is effective in removing and inhibiting hair growth in almost all
people. LightSheer Desire penetrates deeper layers of the skin,
increasing the chance hair will not regrow, even after a single, quick
treatment. Treatments can also reduce in-grown hairs that still remain
even after shaving or waxing. Furthermore, there is no downtime to heal
after treatments.
Laser Hair Removal in the
Winter?
As temperatures start to decline, Dr. Frank often sees patients who want
to undergo one or multiple hair removal sessions and get it all done
before exposing their legs and arms. Slight redness can be expected
after treatments. LightSheer Desire sessions can be as quick as 10
minutes for small areas, allowing you to come in on your lunch break.
Although there are less UV rays in the winter, keep the areas treated
well covered for two weeks following each treatments. Ideally these
areas should not be exposed to sun 3-4 weeks prior to each session and
avoid using self-tanners as well.
