A BETTER SOLUTION FOR UNWANTED HAIR
As a woman, you are probably aware that our whole body is covered in hair. As most of it is normally fine and light-coloured, it is not noticeable to the naked eye. Actually, you will be amazed to know that most hair follicles are found on the forehead.
When thick dark hair grows in unwanted or unexpected places, such as our face, neck, abdomen, breasts or arms and this fact prevents us from wearing high cut swimsuits, shorts, or short skirts, it is time to consider Diodo LightSheer laser hair removal.
In the past, the most frequent remedies for unwanted hair were the use of tweezers, shaving, waxing or chemical products. Some are painful, others are tedious, and all of them are temporary.
To achieve a longer lasting effect, electrolysis is a popular and more effective technique than the above-mentioned ones, but it is slow and painful. An electric current is applied with a very fine needle into each hair follicle to arrest the root’s development. The treatment might take months or even years of regular sessions even for small areas like the upper lip.
You can enjoy now a more effective solution: the new Diodo LightSheer laser. This top of the line system has been specifically designed to remove unwanted hair much faster, less painfully and more effectively than many other treatments.
The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The colour of the beam is the key for the effect of the laser on the hair follicles.
A pigment located in the hair follicles absorbs the light produced by the Diodo LightSheer laser. In milliseconds, it sends out enough pulsed light to vaporise the pigment, impairing several follicles at a time and slowing down or inhibiting altogether hair growth.
A very important factor to take into account is the special tip of the hand piece of the LightSheer laser. It is perfect on the woman skin as it chills the surface by contact and it focuses the laser energy on the root of the hair. Furthermore, it protects and chills the superficial layer of skin surrounding the hair before, during and after the light pulse. The combination of chilling and other key parameters allow a safe and effective treatment on all types of skin.
The duration of the session is dependent on the extent of the area being treated and can vary from minutes to one hour or longer. As the laser tends to be less effective on follicles that are in the active phase of growth, multiple treatments are needed to inhibit those follicles that are at that growth stage.
The laser treatment itself might produce a little prickling. Most patients can tolerate it well. However, as some body areas are more sensitive than others, anaesthetic cream is resorted to.
The appearance of the treated area after the session varies depending on the patient’s circumstances, the extent of the treatment and the type of skin. The immediate effects, if any, are minor. These can include redness and slight swelling, which will subside after a short time. Most of the patients resume their usual activities immediately.

The anagen phase is the hair active growth phase. At this stage, the hair contains plenty of melanin. Catagen phase is a regression phase during which the lower end of the hair grows but does not get detached. The follicle is reabsorbed.
During the last phase, Telogen, the hair falls off to leave room for the development of a new hair.
