Definition of Laser: - A powerful beam of light that can produce intense heat when focused at close range. Lasers are used in medicine in microsurgery, cauterization, for diagnostic purposes and for easthetic treatments. Lasers are employed in microsurgery to cut tissue or for permanent hair reduction.
The LightSheer is recognized as the Gold Standard for hair removal and is worldwide the most used laser for effective, safe and comfortable hair removal. Various independent clinical studies have shown that the most effective hair removal treatment is done with a Diode Laser.
Laser is an acronym coined in 1960 from a forgettable term:-, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Permanent hair removal can be achieved by laser, (being the most effective) and by electrolysis. Laser hair removal is only effective on pigmented hair (black, red, brown, as long as it contains pigment.) It does not destroy white hair. Unpigmented hair is treated by electrolysis and involves numerous treatments that can take 1 - 2 years for permanent results. Laser Hair Removal at our clinic in Pretoria uses the Lumenis Lightsheer Duet HighSpeed Diode Laser treatment and offers a harmless and effective treatment for unwanted hair - permanent in 70 - 90% of the cases and uses the advanced Target Optimized Hair Reduction process for hair reduction.
This laser emits a powerful beam of invisible light that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by the hair follicle. This disables the follicle and impairs further hair growth. The results are excellent.
Laser can remove hair permanently with the minimum of pain,inconvenience and side effects. The laser emits a beam of invisible light which is selectively absorbed by the hair follicle after passing harmlessly through the skin. The hair follicles are destroyed impairing their ability to grow without affecting the surrounding tissue. It may require 3-7 treatments with monthly intervals.
This is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair. The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling sensation. In the case of a sensitive skin, a topical anesthetic can be applied. Immediate after-effects, if any, are minor but may include redness or swelling which disappears reasonably quickly. Most people return to a normal appearance soon after.
