LightSheer Hair Removal

Are you uncomfortable with unwanted hair on your body? Do you desire a sleeker, hair-free appearance? In the past, the remedies for unwanted hair included shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis and depilatory use. Some were painful, some were messy, and all were temporary answers to a never-ending battle.

The LightSheer laser gently cools the surface of the skin as pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. The absorbed light damages the existing hair and destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle, all while protecting the surrounding tissue. The end result is significant, and often permanent, hair reduction.

A broad spectrum of system settings allows us to customize hair removal treatment according to the particular body area, hair and skin type of each individual patient. In short, the LightSheer provides you with customized treatment. This flexibility assures the safest and best possible result for you. LightSheer hair removal is safe, effective, quick and has few, if any, side effects. However, because hair grows in stages, multiple treatments are usually required to achieve optimal results.

For men or women looking for effective removal of unwanted hair, find out if the LightSheer technique right for you. Contact Dr. Van Putten for a complimentary consultation.
