The key to successful hair removal is destroying the entire hair follicle and the germinative cells, while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Laser hair removal is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase called the anager phase; consequently, multiple treatments scheduled several weeks or months apart are typically required to achieve optimal results.
Lasers and IPL light sources gently remove unwanted hair based on the principle of selective photothermolyisis. This refers to the process whereby the characteristics of the light energy including wavelength and pulse duration are optimized to selectively cause thermal injury to the hair follicle without injuring the surrounding tissue. The light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed in the target pigment (melanin) found in the hair shaft. This causes the temperature to reach a sufficiently high level in the hair follicle so that the targeted hair structures are destroyed and regrowth is inhibited.
The LightSheer Diode Laser System, with its unique combination of parameters, penetrates tissue to destroy the germinative cells at the base of the hair follicle and stunt hair regrowth. At the same time, the aggressive cooling provided by the LightSheer's ChillTip™ handpiece minimizes potential collateral epidermal damage caused by light absorption by melanin in the epidermis. The patented ChillTip combined with efficient, reliable, high-power diode technology, makes the family of LightSheer lasers the most advanced hair removal system available and the recognized gold standard for hair removal in the aesthetic marketplace.
For Your Practice
Due to its tremendous popularity, hair removal is becoming an integral part of many medical specialty practices, from plastic surgeons and dermatologists to obstetricians, gynecologists and general practitioners. Physicians who want to focus on hair removal and anticipate a high volume of hair removal patients will want to consider the family of LightSheer diode lasers. Other physicians with a more diverse aesthetic practice may prefer the versatility and upgradeability of the Lumenis One or the IPL Quantum product line. With either or both platform technologies, you can expand your service mix with an innovative hair removal solution that maximizes patient throughput and satisfaction while creating a new revenue stream for your practice.
