You may be surprised to learn that virtually your entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this hair is fine and pale, it usually isn’t visible to the naked eye.

But, when darker, coarser hair appears in places which may make you uncomfortable, like on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, legs, bikini area or underarms in women or on the shoulders, chest and back in men, it may be time to consider hair removal with the LightSheer diode laser.

Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a non—invasive approach to permanent reduction and long term hair removal, leaving your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer.

What is treatment like? Treatment will not be undertaken if you are actively tanning the area to be treated. The area is cleaned and the hair shaved close to the skin. The treatment itself will cause some discomfort but is usually well tolerated. In sensitive areas, we can apply a topical anaesthetic.

Because the laser only affects the hair follicles in the growth phase, more than one treatment will be necessary, depending on which area of the body and what colour the hair.

Side effects are very rare and normal activity can be resumed immediately.

The LightSheer XC Diode laser is still the leader in the field of laser hair removal, offering skin surface cooling, fast treatment and the ability to treat a wide range of skin types and hair colour.
