Details

Lumenis LightSheer Duet is a laser hair removal treatment clinically proven to reduce hair growth. This diode laser is suitable for both light and dark skin tones. It can target melanin-rich hair follicles safely and effectively.

The device emits high-energy light to target the pigment melanin in the hair follicles.  The light then heats the follicles while keeping the surrounding skin intact. Hair growth diminishes once the hair follicles are damaged from the heat. Lumenis Light Sheer can target multiple follicles in one pulse, making it one of the fastest and most accurate hair-removal devices on the market. The device can treat large areas such as the back and the legs in just 15 minutes without any numbing cream. For more sensitive areas, patients can opt for topical anesthetic if needed.

The system uses two important technologies that allow customized treatments for every skin and hair type. The first technology is a High-Speed Vacuum Assisted technology that helps pull the skin to target a larger area and boost the absorption of the laser. The second is the ChillTip Sapphire cooling system. This device helps numb the skin as the laser heats the dermis. It also protects the epidermis from heat damage.  After the treatment, patients may experience mild side effects such as redness and swelling. These  reactions indicate that the hair follicles are responding well to the treatment. No recovery time is needed, and patients can return to their everyday activities once the session is complete.
