Hair removal Pennsylvania

For women it is usually on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, or arms. For men, trouble areas are generally the back, shoulders, around ears, and between eyebrows. Methods like plucking, shaving, waxing, or chemicals can be used, but all are temporary. Electrolysis was used as a permanent means but proved very slow and painful with side effects including electrical shock, infection, pitting or scarring.

Now there is a more effective solution.The LightSheer Diode Laser, a system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully, which is much more reliably than electrolysis. This system allows for the treatment of a broad range of skin types.

Ideal candidates are patients who have light skin with dark hair, although, other combinations are successfully treated.

The LightSheer Diode Laser is a laser that produces a beam of highly concentrated light with a specific wavelength that is key in removing unwanted hair. Laser light is absorbed by the pigment located in the shaft which pulses just long enough to vaporize pigment, which injures the follicle resulting in decreased growth. Advantages is that many follicles are treated at one time, thus allowing for rapid treatment of a large area. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure time ranges anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Multiple treatments are typically necessary to achieve a long-lasting result. Though most patients tolerate the procedure well, topical anesthesia is always available.
