Lasers have been used for hair removal since the mid 1990's. They are safe in the hands of trained technicians but have several short comings: Lasers work well only when a hair is in the anagen, (growing) phase. On some parts of the body, less than 50% of the hairs are in the growing phase.

We can do laser hair removal just about anywhere on the body. The most common areas for women are the upper lip, chin, eyebrows and bikini line. Men like to do hair removal at the back and shoulders, front of the neck (common place for ingrown hairs) as well as the glabella (space between the eyebrows). We do arms, legs, toes, underarms and more!

Laser hair removal is fast, convenient, and has minimal side effects. It can save you up to 10 minutes a day just by skipping the full leg shave. Think of the money you have spent on razors, shaving creams, bleaching creams and eyebrow waxes. We offer solutions to expensive as well as time-consuming hair grooming.

Both men and women can seek laser hair removal. However, it does not work equally well for all people. Those with pale skin and dark coarse hair tend to make the best candidates. Not all laser hair removal systems perform the same on all skin and hair types. Alexandrite long pulse and diode types of lasers work best on light-colored skin, while Nd:YAG long pulse lasers are better and safer on darker skin (skin types IV and darker).

One of the benefits of laser hair removal is that it is virtually painless, especially compared with waxing or electrolysis. For the occasional patient who experiences discomfort with the LightSheer Laser Hair Removal, the Doctor prescribes a Novocain type of topical cream, which should be applied 1 hour prior to treatment. This helps minimize discomfort. The LightSheer has a cooling tip, which also cools your skin during treatment.

Surprisingly, a lot of our patients are men. After receiving treatment they are very happy and refer others to our offices. Laser hair removal for men is a popular solution for excessive hair on back, chests and legs. Many athletic men enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal as a way to achieve better athletic results. Unwanted hair in the nose and the ears can also give you that added confidence you so much desired.

So you've got some hair somewhere that you are just dying to get rid of. Maybe you're sick of shaving it, or maybe you can't even reach to shave it. Waxing doesn't last very long, and most of the other products on the market are either are...

The best results are obtained when the hair to be treated is darker than the surrounding skin. Also coarse hair is easier to remove. Fine, light hair in people of color is difficult to remove.

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. Electrolysis kills one hair follicle at a time. The LightSheer diode laser delivers light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicles at a time.

Yes, it is permanent in most people after a series of 6-8 treatments. The majority of clients will see significant reduction of hair as well as finer and thinner hairs after a series of treatments. It depends on the goal of hair removal. If you just want a reduction in the number and coarseness of the hair, two to four treatments may be all you desire. If you want significant clearance of hair it will take the typical 6-8 treatments.
