FAQ

  1. How does Light Sheer compare with other hair removal methods?

    Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal with Light Sheer offers permanent hair reduction.
  2. How do Light Sheer treatments compare with electrolysis?

    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. Light Sheer delivers light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, Light Sheer can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
  3. What are Light Sheer treatments like?

    Light Sheer's cold hand piece greatly reduces any discomfort during treatment. When the pulse of light is delivered some patients experience a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required.
  4. Are there any side effects?

    Short term side effects may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling which typically lasts less than an hour, although rarely may last a few days. In very rare instances there may be some blistering.
  5. Does skin color make a difference?

    With Light Sheer's unique design we have the flexibility to provide a customized treatment. Patients with fair skin respond the best. Suntanned patients or those with darker pigmentation may require more treatments to avoid damaging skin. The lighter the skin the higher we can set the laser. It is best to wear a sun screen and avoid the sun prior to treatments.
  6. How many treatments are required?

    The number of treatments you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on the area you wish to have treated, the hair density and your hair's growth cycle. Your hair grows in cycles and many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism all play a part in your hair's location, thickness and resilience. Average for light skinned clients is 4 to 6 treatments every 5 weeks.
  7. Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?

    Yes - no hot water on the area for 8-12 hours. Avoid the sun during treatments. The lighter your skin the faster we can kill the follicle with the higher setting.
