Lumenis Light Sheer Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an effective solution for reducing unwanted facial and body hair. This laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light which is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede the follicles ability to re grow. The process treats numerous hair follicles at the same time and it is appropriate for treating even the largest areas of the body both quickly and effectively. A special contact cooling hand piece allows the nurse to treat even the most sensitive skin. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during and after each laser pulse while directing the energy to the hair root. Usually the desired results can be obtained over 6 to 9 treatments. Skin can become slightly red and swollen and ice and hydrocortisone cream are used to reduce the inflammatory response.
