WHAT DOES LIGHTSHEER LASER HAIR REMOVAL GIVE?
After LightSheer laser hair removal, our body will become smooth forever. Unlike painful depilation with wax or epilator, we will get rid of the problem of ingrown hairs. People who have the problem of skin irritation, perifolliculitis, ingrown hairs are satisfied with the LightSheer laser hair removal treatment. It is a very popular treatment in our Clinic. STHETICA provides Lightsheer epilation treatments in dozens of cities in Poland, so we have extensive experience and are able to achieve the best results for each of our patients.
WHAT DOES LIGHTSHEER LASER HAIR REMOVAL GIVE?
At the outset, each patient should familiarize themselves with two terms that are often used interchangeably, often being confused with each other. Depilation - the removal of temporary hair (e.g., with wax, depilatories). Epilation - permanent, lifelong hair removal (e.g., with the Lightsheer diode laser). The LightSheer diode laser, with the help of a high-energy light beam, permanently destroys the hair root, causing the hair in that area to no longer grow back. During a single LightSheer laser hair removal treatment, about 30% of the hair is destroyed, i.e. those currently in the active growth phase - anagen. The remaining hair is not sensitive to the laser light at the moment, then you should wait until it enters the anagen phase, which is about 4-6 weeks, and then you should perform another LightSheer laser hair removal treatment. That's why, by repeating the treatment several times, we finally manage to "catch" all the hair in the anagen phase - and remove it permanently. The destruction of the hair bulb by laser light is made possible by the fact that the energy from the light beam is absorbed by the melanin in the bulb. Thus, the easiest and fastest hair to remove is hair that has dark pigment, i.e. black, brown, dark blonde hair.
About 95% of the hair is removed after about four treatments, but the final result depends on the individual skin type.
The number of treatments needed for a lasting and significant effect is determined individually depending on the patient and the treatment site. Most patients require 4-6 treatments to achieve permanent, virtually complete epilation. At this point, it is important to emphasize the difference between a diode laser and an IPL device, which often advertise themselves as "hair removal lasers." IPL is a device that generates a strong beam of light that weakens the hair but is not powerful enough to destroy it completely. Our patients are often very distrustful of the laser therapy treatments we offer, precisely because they have used IPL hair removal (weakening) in the past. This is a type of treatment that gets rid of the problem of growing hair for a longer period of time, but not permanently. Unlike Lightsheer laser hair removal, which destroys hair permanently. If you have used hair removal treatments in the past and the hair grew back - most likely the treatments were performed with an IPL device or an untrained operator. You are cordially invited to a consultation - we will try to change your opinion and prove that diode laser removes hair for life.
