unwanted body hair, you’ve put yourself through the ringer. But with
Empathy's Light Sheer Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis
treatment, you’ll say goodbye to everyday shaving – and get used to

What can I expect from laser hair
removal?
At Empathy Laser
Hair Removal Clinic, we have performed several Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis delhi treatments. Quite simply, we
know what works – and we’re leaders in our field. Our team ensures
that our methods and training programs exceed industry standards,
and we’re constantly evolving to meet our clients’ needs. So you can
be confident that you’re getting the safest, most effective
treatment at the best possible value.
After completing the treatment, clients
describe the experience as nothing short of a lifestyle change; most
can’t believe they ever spent so much time and money bothering with
razors, creames or waxing.
How does Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis work?
Our Light Sheer Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis system
uses a combination of energy and heat to destroy follicles without
harming the skin around them. After a series of sessions, you’ll
experience permanent hair reduction. Depending which area(s) you
decide to treat, you’ll always be ready to slip into a swimsuit,
won’t have to think about razor burn or irritation, and will stop
worrying about unsightly ingrown hairs.
How long does Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis
take?
You have millions of hair follicles in your
body, all of which cycle through different phases. Laser hair
removal can only treat a certain percentage of those follicles at a
time (those that are in the active phase), so it must be done at
varied intervals. Because no two bodies are the same, your treatment
plan will be tailored specifically to you, but we typically
recommend at least eight to ten Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis sessions.
How should I prepare for laser hair
removal?
With Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis, nobody will know
you’re undergoing treatment (unless, of course, you want them to).
Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis sessions can be as short as fifteen minutes, and
we just ask that you stay out of the sun, shave the area to be
treated; and avoid using lotions, creams or products, for optimum
results.
What does Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis feel
like?
Most clients describe the sensation as a
mild “hot pinch,” similar to the feeling of being snapped with a
rubber band. In most cases, the sensation goes away almost
immediately.
Who qualifies for Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis?
We customize your Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis
treatment to match your hair color, skin color and type.
As part of your package purchase, you also
obtain an Specific Plan Membership. Once the initial Two-Year
Specific Plan has expired, this Membership allows you to receive
discounted treatment rates if you decide continued service is
needed. Membership pricing applies only to areas previously treated.
Please see your Clinic Manager for specific details.
What type of laser do you
use?
We carry the latest models of the Light Sheer laser
(Diode laser, top XC Model) and the Epilight (Intense Pulsed
Light). Both of these lasers are FDA approved for permanent
hair reduction and have been shown to provide excellent
results with all types of hair and skin colors.
Which laser is right for me?
Depending on your skin tone and color, and the
coarsness and darkness of your hair, the doctor will decide
which laser would be best for your specific needs. However,
we prefer to use the Light Sheer on most of our patients
because it is faster, and provides extra skin cooling
protection via it's chill tip.
What does Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis feel
like?
It is very important to protect the top layers of
the skin from becoming too hot during a laser treatment.
Many lasers have different cooling mechanisms to protect the
top skin, however, none of them can match the cooling
protection which is provided by the Light Sheer's contact
cooling Chill Tip. The tip of the Light Sheer is made of
saphire which conducts heat very quickly. This saphire tip
is constantly cooled to 5 degrees by the control of the
laser's computer. When the tip of the laser is placed on the
skin, it cools down the upper layer of the skin and protects
it from getting too hot. This allows us to use higher
energies at a safe level, and thus obtain better results.

The root of the
problem
Hair grows in cycles, and many factors influence
its growth, Age, ethnicity, medications, hormones
levels, and even location of the hair on the body
influence the length, coarseness and colour of hair
.
Anagen is the active growing phase in which
the hair bulb is intact. The hair grows in both
directions, upward and downwards
Catagen is the regression phase when the
lower part of the hair stops growing but is not
shed, and the body absorbs the lower third of
the follicle.
Telogen is the resting phase. The hair bulb
is no longer present and is now a club hair
which will fall out or be pushed out of the
follicle by the new anagen growing hair .
Laser roots it out for
good
Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis is a non invasive procedure, by which
unwanted hair are removed from any part of the body by
utilizing a long pulsed laser.
The laser parameters are carefully defined by studying
the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the
laser light and pulse duration to the follicle size, depth
and location to inhibit the re-growth of the hair. Laser
hair removal technique helps in facial hair removal and
permanent hair removal.
Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis is performed by a specially - trained
laser technician or a doctor, who directs the light of a
long pulsed laser onto the skin. Since other hair will enter
their growth cycle at different times, several sessions are
necessary to destroy all the follicles in a treatment area.
Suitable for all
Both men and women seek Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis to get
unwanted hair removed. Hair removal is commonly done on the
hairline, eyebrow, top of the nose, side burn, upper & lower
lip, chin, ear lobe, face, neck, nape, shoulders, back,,
underarm, abdomen, buttocks, public area, bikini lines,
thighs, breast, arms, legs, hands, and toes.
Lasting reduction
The US : FDA has approved the process as "Permanent
Reduction" which means that one shouldn't expect laser to
remove every single hair from an area. Some might need touch
up treatments once or twice a year after the initial set of
treatments for any new growth the body may develop.
Hair less but not
careless
Following precautions are expected from a patient during
the course of the entire treatment.
No waxing or removing hair from the root by any
other way.
After treatment is completed, aloe vera should be
applied to soothe the skin.
Exfoliating and/or scrubbing gently in the shower
with a loofa after the treatment may help speed up the
shedding process of hair.
How long before I can
flaunt my new look?
The number of treatments depends on the skin and hair
colour, density and coarseness of the hair as well as the
specific area to be treated. On an average , 5 - 7
treatments, scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart will approximately
reduce hair growth by 70 - 90 % .
Additional session might be required to eliminate the
hair that come out of the dormant phase and become active
later.
Will there be any side
effects?
There are no lasting side effects of Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis
on a healthy body. However , one might experience the
following immediately after the treatment:
Normal itching during the treatment
Temporary Redness
Temporary Swelling
Pain, Tingling or Feeling of Numbness
How about reducing the
density of the hair and not completely removing them?
Yes, This can be achieved. Please contact our doctors who
will help you with the process and consult accordingly.
The LightSheer diode laser is the most fantastic,
state of the art system specifically designed to
remove unwanted hair fast. There is less discomfort
and the laser itself is the most reliably compared
to any other laser around and it permanently reduces
your unwanted hair.
Best of all, you will need fewer sessions to get
the job done than with any other laser around.
The LightSheer was the first diode laser that has
been approved by the FDA for permanent hair
reduction.
Yes, it is safe. By now, there have been more
studies done with the LightSheer laser than any
other laser around.
The LightSheer was developed from years of
research at the Massachusett's General Hopsital's
Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine, one of the
world's leading research institutions. The laser
parameters were carefully designed to inhibit the
regrowth of hair by studying the anatomy of the hair
follicles. The actively cooled sapphire hand piece
was designed to conduct heat away from the skin
before, during and after each pulse. Proper eye
protection is an important feature during any laser
treatment.
For safety, Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis is not recommended
when pregnant.
People treated commonly experience reddening of the
skin, follicular swelling and histamine/hive
reactions. Most skin reactions resolve within 1 to 2
hours but can last up to 24 - 48 hours after the
treatment. Other temporary adverse side effects like
hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) or
hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) is
possible, but not common.
It is important thata you lower your risks of
pigmentationn changes by following the pre and post
treatment instructions. Avoid sun exposure, suntan
beds and self-tanning lotions. It is important that
you protect your skin by wearing a sunscreen or a
sunblock.
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated
light. The light emitted by the LightSheer diode
laser is well absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in
the hair follicles. Prior to the procedure, the
treatment area has to be shaved. During the
procedure the upper layer of the skin is compressed
and cooled with the special cooling handpiece. This
procedure protects the skin and makes the procedure
more effective. Then the laser pulses light for a
fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up
the hair and destroy the follicle's ability to
re-grow.
The result - permanent hair reduction in the treated
area.
The length of a laser treatment may last anywhere
from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on
the size of the area being treated. It is important
to know that the hairs in an active growth phase
(referred to as Anagen) are most affected by the
laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the
same time, more than one treatment will be necessary
to achieve the best result.
Most individual's permanent hair loss will be
between 50 - 85% after 3 treatments. Most people
need 4 - 6 treatments in total. The hair that is
left is usually lighter and finer than the original
hair.
Very Important! 6 weeks prior to Laser Hair
Removal do NOt wax or tweeze, No threading, No
electrolysis.
• ONLY SHAVING is allowed!
• Do not tan the areas to be treated for 4 weeks
prior to the treatment.
• Do not apply moisturizers or makeup on the skin
to be treated.
• You need to be freshly shaven on the area(s)
your want to have lasered.
Apply EMLA, a topical anaesthetic cream to the
area you want to have treated approximately 2 hours
before the treatment.
Apply Emla about 1/8 inch thick to the area. Like
icing a cake.
For bigger areas you will need 30 - 60 gr of Emla.
Apply the cream so that it is still white on the
skin, wrap Saran wrap over it to keep the cream
moist and effective. We will remove the cream in the
salon before the treatment.
Wear comfortable loose clothing.
Take a pain medication 20 - 30 minutes before the
treatment is you have a problem with pain.
We offer our clients a more efficient topical
anesthetic that we apply for you in the salon in
which case you need to come in 20 minutes earlier.
That service is a choice we offer and is not
included in the Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis cost.
Some redness and swelling in the area after the
treatment is normal. It may feel similar to a
sunburn. This usually resolves within a few hours
after the treatment. For some people it may take a
few days.
You can cool treated areas with a cold face cloth.
DO NOT use chemical packs.
Apply a soothing Aloe Vera or Vitamin E Gel to the
treated area twice a ay for 5 to 7 days after the
treatment, or until the sunburned feeling has
subsided.
Clean the area gently twice a day.
Clients should use the highest factor sunblock and
sunscreen. You must protect the treated area from
exposure to sunlight, sunbed or other artificial
tanning between the treatments.
Avoid irritants (glycolic acid, retinoids, chemical
peels etc) for 7 days after the treatment.
Avoid perfumes, strong soaps, makeup and deodorants
until any stinging has subsided.
Avoid hot baths, hot tubs and working out for 24
hours after Lightsheer Diode Laser · Lumenis.
Do not pluck or wax after your treatment.
You may shave the treated area to keep it tidy if
need be.
Four weeks
before treatment and throughout the course of
treatment patients are advised to:
Avoid tanning and sunless
tanners
No waxing, Plucking, Tweezing
or Electrolysis
The area to be treated should
be shaved one day prior to treatment as closely
as possible so the laser can target the energy
towards the hair follicle. If you fail to shave
beforehand we will likely shave the areas at the
time of the appointment.
On the day of treatment no
lotion, makeup, perfume and deodorant should be
used on the areas to be treated.
POST LASER HAIR
REDUCTION DELHI TREATMENT
After treatment, you may
experience brief swelling and redness which
subsides within a day. Avoid scratching the
treated area and use sun screen. Within 1-3
weeks, you should experience shedding of hair in
the treated area. At first, it will feel like
the hair is growing back in, but these are the
hairs coming through the skin to shed. After
shedding finishes, you might experience little
black hair dots stuck in the skin which will
eventually shed, but may take a bit longer.
Exfoliating and/or scrubbing gently in the
shower with a cleanser or a loofah can help
speed up the process of the hairs falling out.
DOES LASER
HAIR REMOVAL HURT?
Pain varies between
individuals. Some parts of the body tend to
be more sensitive than others depending on
the thickness and density of the hair, skin
type, and one's ability to tolerate or feel
pain. Most people experience no more than a
slight stinging sensation as the laser
pulses are applied. Generally, the hair in
the area being treated becomes thinner and
less dense after each treatment, therefore
less discomfort is experienced.
HOW MANY
SESSIONS DOES IT TAKE?
Most people need at least
6-12 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks
apart. Depending on hair type and
genetic factors, some individuals may
require additional treatments beyond
these initial treatments. Some causes of
excessive hair growth can be caused by
hormonal imbalances, reactions to
certain medications, normal aging
processes, heredity, and excessive
temporary removal methods like waxing,
tweezing, creams and depilatories.
Everyone is unique and will react
differently to the laser.
HAIR GROWTH CYCLE & HOW
HAIR GROWTH WORKS
It is important to
know the three main phases of the
hair growth cycle in order to
understand why several treatments
are required.
The Anagen
phase, also known as the growing
phase, is the active growth
phase of hair follicles. It is
the phase during which laser
hair removal treatment is most
effective. During Anagen phase,
the hair follicle is directly
connected to the blood vessels
and the hair bulb produces your
hair pigment. The laser targets
the melanin of the hair and cuts
off the blood supply to hairs
resulting in no more hair
growth.
The Catagen
phase, also known as the
transitional phase, is when hair
follicles control the hair
strand and hair growth stops.
The hair is not visible and
capable of absorbing the laser
light and therefore its
difficult for permanence to be
achieved.
The Telogen
phase, also known as the resting
phase, is when hair detaches
from the blood supply and it is
preparing to fall out. The hair
bulb stops producing the color
pigment. The hair is not visible
and capable of absorbing the
laser light and therefore cannot
be destroyed.
Our hair is in Anagen phase only
1/3 of the time. 3/4 of the time
it is in Telogen and Catagen
phase. This is the reason why
several treatments are required
to catch all of the hairs when
they are in anagen phase.
LASER HAIR
RDUCTION DELHI ON PREGNANT WOMEN
During pregnancy,
women often experience an
increase in hair growth due to
hormonal changes that the body
goes through. The body becomes
more sensitive and those who
find the treatment painful may
stimulate stress on the body
which is not good for the fetus.
Although there is no proof that
laser hair removal treatments
are dangerous during pregnancy,
it is best to avoid treatments
until after bearing a child.
Laser Hair
Removal is the best way to
eliminate unwanted hair and
a permanent solution. It is
effective and painless,
making it a more popular
method of hair removal for
those who are not interested
in shaving and waxing over
and over again for the rest
of their lives. Laser hair
removal is much more
affordable than it used to
be and more cost and time
efficient in the long run in
comparison to waxing,
shaving or depilatory
creams.
VS.
Traditional methods of hair
removal include waxing,
shaving, tweezing and
depilatory creams which are
all temporary and need to be
repeated frequently over a
lifetime. Shaving is a
popular option as it is a
fairly inexpensive hair
removal method; however it
can results in ingrown
hairs, irritations and cuts.
Shaving has to be done on
almost a daily basis for
skin to stay smooth and hair
free. Waxing pulls hair out
by the roots but does not
destroy the hair base, so
the hair grows back. Waxing
can be painful and must be
repeated every few weeks.
Tweezing is only ideal for
small areas such as
eyebrows; it can be rather
time consuming to pull each
individual hair out one by
one. Depilatory Creams are
full of harsh chemicals that
burn out the hair and can
cause skin irritation or a
chemical burn.
The Lumenis LightSheer
Duet is the latest
breakthrough technology for
hair removal and has been
clinically proven as the
best treatment for all skin
types and colours. In the
medical world, it is

How long has The
Laser Centre been
doing laser hair
removal procedures?
The Laser Centre has
been doing laser
hair removal
procedures since
2000. We were the
pioneers of this
technology in India.
Using the
state-of-the-art
laser system, we
have removed
unwanted hair from
thousands of
satisfied men and
women. We have
performed more than
30,000 treatments.
How does the
Laser remove hair?
The laser works
by a principle
called Selective
Photothermolysis.
The laser is
pulsed (turned
on) for a
millisecond
emitting a
gentle beam of
light on to the
skin. The light
energy passes
harmlessly
through the
skin, but is
absorbed by the
pigment in the
hair follicle
and hair shaft.
By absorbing
this laser
energy, the hair
follicles are
disabled,
impairing their
ability to grow.
The laser is
effective on
hair follicles
in the active
growth phase
(anagen).
How is the
laser hair removal
procedure performed?
A hand piece is
pressed against the
skin during the
treatment, which
delivers and
unhindered laser
beam to the desired
target area. The
laser beam is
absorbed by the root
of the hair and the
hair root is burned
permanently without
damaging the skin
and surrounding
tissues at all.
The laser beam
targets the pigment
within the hair
follicle, disabling
the follicle. It is
designed to
selectively target
the follicle without
harming the
surrounding skin.
Is this
procedure safe for
everyone?
Yes. The laser
parameters were
carefully defined to
inhibit re-growth by
studying the anatomy
of the hair follicle
and matching the
laser light and
pulse duration to
the follicle size,
depth, and location
to safely and
effectively remove
hair.
How many
sessions are
required?
Visible results in
hair reduction can
be seen after 2-3
sessions.
Satisfactory results
are seen after 6-8
sessions. As all
hair in a given body
part does not grow
at the same time, we
have to remove them
in stages. Lasers
can only remove hair
in the active stage.
Why are
follow-up sessions
required?
The laser
effectively targets
most of the hair
follicles in the
body. Hair growth
pattern varies from
individual to
individual. But
certain factors such
as physiological
changes in the body
such as hormonal
disturbances and
imbalances, puberty,
pregnancy,
menopause, ovarian
tumours, various
medical conditions
and medications can
cause new hair
growth.
Certain
conditions or
disorders like
polycystic ovaries
(PCOS), obesity
(which disrupts the
hormonal balance)
and thyroid
conditions also
cause excessive hair
growth.
Will Laser
Hair Removal work
for me?
Laser hair removal
should work for you,
if you choose a
qualified hair
removal centre. Make
sure that the centre
has a medical doctor
who supervises the
parameters of the
treatments. The
treatment should be
performed by a
trained laser
technician. If you
are skin type 4
through 6, you may
require some
additional sessions
to get desired
results.
At what age
can the treatment be
done?
Ideal age for laser
hair removal
procedure is 14-15
years (females),
16-18 years (males).
Is it safe
during pregnancy?
Yes it is extremely
safe during
pregnancy. As laser
is only a light beam
and it never goes
deeper than the hair
follicle.
Are there
any long term side
effects?
In the medical
field, lasers have
been used since
1960’s. Till date,
no long term side
effects have been
reported. Our centre
uses lasers since
1999 and till date
not a single case of
any undesired effect
has been observed.
What does
the treatment
include?
Depending on the
amount of hair and
area treated, the
procedure varies
from patient to
patient. Generally,
the treatment will
include: Safety
eyewear to protect
the patient's eyes
during the procedure
from the laser
light. Most
experience little
discomfort at the
treatment site. The
sensation and the
degree of discomfort
varies with each
person.
In some cases,
topical anesthesia
is an option. Your
physician will
discuss this before
laser treatment.
Depending on the
size or number of
areas treated, the
time will vary in
length from minutes
to a couple of
hours. Patients can
return to work or
resume their normal
activities
immediately
following treatment.
The area may become
slightly red and
this may last from a
few minutes to a day
depending on the
area and skin
sensitivity.
What should
I expect after the
treatment?
Around 3-10 days
after the
treatment, hair
will begin to
surface. Most of
these hairs were
treated and are
“falling out”.
This is NOT
re-growth. The
hair follicles
need to purge
the hairs that
remained under
the skin.
How does
laser hair removal
differ from
electrolysis and is
the treatment
permanent?
The main difference
between this
technology and the
traditional method
known as
electrolysis, is
that lasers can
treat multiple hair
follicles at one
time, no longer
requiring the need
to identify and
probe each
individual hair
follicle, as done
with electrolysis.
Laser hair removal
is relatively new
technology. The FDA,
however, has
recently provided
clearance that
indicates lasers can
achieve a permanent
reduction in hair
growth based on
clinical tests with
patients who have
hair reduction two
years after
treatment
completion.
Most people need an
average of 6-8
treatments. Hair
grows in cycles and
subsequent
treatments are
necessary to treat
the follicles that
are lying dormant
below the surface of
the skin. These
dormant follicles
contain little
pigment and are
often not affected
by the first
treatment. Laser
hair removal is the
most practical,
least painful, most
efficient, and
probably least
expensive
professional method
available to remove
unwanted hair.
What are
precautionary
measures that need
to be kept in mind
before the
treatment?
Avoid direct sun
exposure to the area
that needs to be
treated. Do not wax,
thread, pluck or
bleach the area
before the
treatment.
POST LASER HAIR
REMOVAL CARE
Avoid bathing and
washing the treated area
with very hot water on
the same day
Do not scratch or
pluck the treated area
No facial or any
other beauty procedure
for 2 days after the
treatment
Avoid direct sun
exposure till all the
treatments are over
Protect treated area
with sunscreen /
clothing / shade when
out in the sunlight
Do not wax, thread,
pluck or bleach between
laser hair removal
treatments
In case necessary,
shaving and hair
removing creams can be
used between treatments
Myths about Laser
Hair Removal
Even now, with the most
modern technology, myths
stop people from getting the
high quality laser hair
removal treatment.
Some of the common myths
are:
It doesn't work
It hurts
Its expensive
It is time consuming
ALL LASERS are the
same
The Laser Centre only
used LightSheer Duet laser
for all of its hair removal
treatments. This is the gold
standard for effective hair
reduction in the medical
world. This laser delivers a
beam with pinpoint accuracy,
targeting only the hair
follicle and not the
surrounding skin.
With the new breakthrough
technology of the LightSheer
Duet, patients experience
minimal discomfort. This
pain is not more than waxing
and is 1/5th of the pain as
compared to other lasers!
Think about how many fewer
laser hair removal sessions
you will need to be hair
free compared to a life long
of waxing and shaving!
Laser hair removal is a
procedure with permanent
hair reduction up to 95%.
There will be no more
expenses on waxing, shaving,
threading and electrolysis
treatments. Overall, you
will spend less for a laser
treatment than you would
have for a lifetime of
temporary hair removal
methods.
Also, consider our Full Body
Hair Removal packages as
well as customized packages!
The LightSheer Duet is
the fastest and safest laser
for hair removal. Other
lasers can take up to 3
hours for legs treatment.
Whereas we can do the same
in ten minutes.
On the face
value, all cars look
the same! But are
they really??
You can not
compare a
Ferrari with any
other car on the
road. LightSheer
Duet is a class
by itself! It is
used in the
cosmetic world
for the longest
period of time
and is approved
by the medical
world as the
perfect balance
between safety
and efficacy.

Hair Removal
expensive?
When you
consider laser

have spent on
repeated waxing,
threading, and
electrolysis
treatments.

The LightSheer diode laser is the most fantastic,
state of the art system specifically designed to
remove unwanted hair fast. There is less discomfort
and the laser itself is the most reliably compared
to any other laser around and it permanently reduces
your unwanted hair.
Best of all, you will need fewer sessions to get
the job done than with any other laser around.
The LightSheer was the first diode laser that has
been approved by the FDA for permanent hair
reduction.
Yes, it is safe. By now, there have been more
studies done with the LightSheer laser than any
other laser around.
The LightSheer was developed from years of
research at the Massachusett's General Hopsital's
Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine, one of the
world's leading research institutions. The laser
parameters were carefully designed to inhibit the
regrowth of hair by studying the anatomy of the hair
follicles. The actively cooled sapphire hand piece
was designed to conduct heat away from the skin
before, during and after each pulse. Proper eye
protection is an important feature during any laser
treatment.
For safety, laser hair removal is not recommended
when pregnant.
People treated commonly experience reddening of the
skin, follicular swelling and histamine/hive
reactions. Most skin reactions resolve within 1 to 2
hours but can last up to 24 - 48 hours after the
treatment. Other temporary adverse side effects like
hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) or
hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) is
possible, but not common.
It is important thata you lower your risks of
pigmentationn changes by following the pre and post
treatment instructions. Avoid sun exposure, suntan
beds and self-tanning lotions. It is important that
you protect your skin by wearing a sunscreen or a
sunblock.
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated
light. The light emitted by the LightSheer diode
laser is well absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in
the hair follicles. Prior to the procedure, the
treatment area has to be shaved. During the
procedure the upper layer of the skin is compressed
and cooled with the special cooling handpiece. This
procedure protects the skin and makes the procedure
more effective. Then the laser pulses light for a
fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up
the hair and destroy the follicle's ability to
re-grow.
The result - permanent hair reduction in the treated
area.
The length of a laser treatment may last anywhere
from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on
the size of the area being treated. It is important
to know that the hairs in an active growth phase
(referred to as Anagen) are most affected by the
laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the
same time, more than one treatment will be necessary
to achieve the best result.
Most individual's permanent hair loss will be
between 50 - 85% after 3 treatments. Most people
need 4 - 6 treatments in total. The hair that is
left is usually lighter and finer than the original
hair.
Very Important! 6 weeks prior to Laser Hair
Removal do NOt wax or tweeze, No threading, No
electrolysis.
• ONLY SHAVING is allowed!
• Do not tan the areas to be treated for 4 weeks
prior to the treatment.
• Do not apply moisturizers or makeup on the skin
to be treated.
• You need to be freshly shaven on the area(s)
your want to have lasered.
Apply EMLA, a topical anaesthetic cream to the
area you want to have treated approximately 2 hours
before the treatment.
Apply Emla about 1/8 inch thick to the area. Like
icing a cake.
For bigger areas you will need 30 - 60 gr of Emla.
Apply the cream so that it is still white on the
skin, wrap Saran wrap over it to keep the cream
moist and effective. We will remove the cream in the
salon before the treatment.
Wear comfortable loose clothing.
Take a pain medication 20 - 30 minutes before the
treatment is you have a problem with pain.
We offer our clients a more efficient topical
anesthetic that we apply for you in the salon in
which case you need to come in 20 minutes earlier.
That service is a choice we offer and is not
included in the laser hair removal cost.
Some redness and swelling in the area after the
treatment is normal. It may feel similar to a
sunburn. This usually resolves within a few hours
after the treatment. For some people it may take a
few days.
You can cool treated areas with a cold face cloth.
DO NOT use chemical packs.
Apply a soothing Aloe Vera or Vitamin E Gel to the
treated area twice a ay for 5 to 7 days after the
treatment, or until the sunburned feeling has
subsided.
Clean the area gently twice a day.
Clients should use the highest factor sunblock and
sunscreen. You must protect the treated area from
exposure to sunlight, sunbed or other artificial
tanning between the treatments.
Avoid irritants (glycolic acid, retinoids, chemical
peels etc) for 7 days after the treatment.
Avoid perfumes, strong soaps, makeup and deodorants
until any stinging has subsided.
Avoid hot baths, hot tubs and working out for 24
hours after Laser Hair Removal.
Do not pluck or wax after your treatment.
You may shave the treated area to keep it tidy if
need be.
What type of laser do you
use?
We carry the latest models of the Light Sheer laser
(Diode laser, top XC Model) and the Epilight (Intense Pulsed
Light). Both of these lasers are FDA approved for permanent
hair reduction and have been shown to provide excellent
results with all types of hair and skin colors.
Which laser is right for me?
Depending on your skin tone
and color, and the coarsness and darkness of your hair, the
doctor will decide which laser would be best for your
specific needs. However, we prefer to use the Light Sheer on
most of our patients because it is faster, and provides
extra skin cooling protection via it's chill tip.
