Both the Lightsheer Diode and the Lyra Yag
By targeting the pigment in the hair, the laser destroys the actual hair follicle, preventing hair regrowth. Each pulse of the laser works on many hairs at once unlike electrolysis which targets individual hairs.
Most people experience an 80-90% permanent removal of the hair. A very small amount of regrowth of fine hair can be expected. Laser treatments will also greatly reduce ingrown hairs and improve smoothness of the skin.
Because of the hair growth cycles, a series of 5-7 treatments is usually needed to achieve optimal results.
Most areas require treatments every 6-8 weeks. Facial areas usually need treatments every 4 weeks. In between treatments, you should not have any hair growth.
Treatments feel similar to a rubberband snap. Although usually not needed, a topical anesthetic cream may be used.
Usually the skin will have a very mild redness lasting a couple of hours or less. Very heavy growth areas could have redness/irritation up to a few days.
For smaller areas like the underarms or bikini, treatments take about 15 minutes. For larger areas like the back, treatments can take up to 1 hour.
The type of laser used for hair removal targets only the hair follicle. The surrounding area is left unaffected by the laser. All skin types and even tanned skin can be safely treated using the Lyra Yag laser. The Lightsheer Diode is used for lighter skin types. All treatments are performed by an experienced Registered Nurse.
Treatments cannot be performed on pregnant women or anyone taking Accutane. And because the laser targets pigment, treatments are not effective on blond or gray hair.
