The Light Sheer is designed to work on all skin types.
Does the laser work on all hair colors?
In order for the laser to be successful in hair removal, there has to be color in the hair. At this point in time there is no laser that can successfully treat gray or white or true red hairs. On occasion fine and light hair with color may respond to treatment but a test spot is required so we can determine if treatment will work on those hairs. White or red hair is treated with electrolysis.
Everyone’s description of laser treatment is a little different. There is minor discomfort to a treatment. A good description is a small pinch or the feeling of tweezing 2 or 3 hairs at once.
If you are looking to be hair free in an area it will take between 3 and 6 treatments. You will need at least 3 because there are 3 stages of hair growth on your body at all times. If you are just looking for a reduction in h
air 1-2 treatments will produce a significant reduction.
Yes, any hair that is treated will not return. You have hundreds of hair follicles on a square centimeter of your skin. That being said, there are many factors that affect hair growth with hormones being one of them. If you go through all of your treatments and you are hair free and then have a major change in hormones, i.e. pregnancy or menopause, some new hair may appear. These were dormant follicles that the laser never treated. The hair growth will not ever be what it was prior to treatment.
Pricing is based on area. You are welcome to come in for a free consultation and test spot. You will be provided with an official price quote. There is no obligation if you come in for a consultation.
After the treatment you may be pink and bumpy in the area that was treated. The color is a response from the laser on the skin; the bumps are from the heat trying to escape from the hair follicle. This reaction is very normal and temporary. We will put aloe on the area to cool your skin. After any treatment you are able to go on with your daily schedule, laser hair removal will not interfere with your daily routine. . There is no “down time” so you can apply make-up right after treatment. Any bumps are from good treatment, technically is known as Perifollicular Edema (PFE), which is a temporary condition.
• We ask that you are not actively tanning for 7-10 days before a treatment and 5 days after. If you are going to be out in the sun, cover the areas that will be treated.
• Tweezing is not a wise choice for hair removal, so please don’t do it. It encourages more hair growth by stimulating the blood supply to that area and, in most cases, causes far more hair problems. There are hundreds of dormant hair follicles that lie under the skin that are activated when stimulated by tweezing. Also, the more you tweeze, the thicker and darker the hairs will get.
• The laser is perfectly safe. This is not like an x-ray where you need to be covered up.
