Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem for both men and women. Luckily, advanced laser technologies are putting an end to tiresome tweezing, waxing, shaving, depilatory creams and electrolysis.

At Cosmetic Laser CentersSM we use the Lumenis LightSheer™ 810nm Diode laser which is often referred to as the “GOLD STANDARD” in laser hair removal. By using this state of the art technology, we use the wavelength that is best absorbed by the hair shaft and follicle while protecting the surface of the skin from heat damage.

Laser hair removal is effective because it blocks the hair follicles regrowth potential while protecting the surrounding tissue. It does this by sending its light energy down through the skin into the follicle where it creates heat which destroys the follicle while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The LightSheerâ„¢ targets numerous follicles at once allowing for quick and effective treatments.

Hair's active growth phase is called anagen. During anagen, the hair contains an abundance of melanin. Hairs in this phase are most affected by light-based treatment.

Catagen is the regression phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed.

Resting phase is called telogen, during which the old hair falls in preparation for the development of new hair.
