FAQ
Q: Why should I do laser hair removal rather than the methods I've been using
for years?
A: Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective. Waxing, shaving and other epilation
methods are temporary, ongoing and may cause side effects such as irritation,
ingrown hairs and pain. Women with facial hair may feel particularly self
conscious about the texture of the coarse hair which results from shaving and
the need to grow it out prior to waxing. Laser hair removal offers an excellent
permanent solution by thinning out the texture and density of the hair.
Q. Is treatment painful?
A: Some sensitive areas, such as bikini and underarms may be more sensitive
than the larger areas such as the face, legs and arms. At the Dermatology and
Laser Centre of Studio City we offer all our patients the choice of applying
numbing cream which significantly reduces the sensitivity to the laser pulses.
Q. Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
A. Laser Hair removal is intended to reduce the density (hairs per square inch)
and thickness (or coarseness) of the hair. Some hair follicles and hair will be
permanently destroyed, and some will only have a thin (velous) hair remaining.
It is important that during the hair removal process, every treatment is effective
and "kills" the follicle as fast as possible, because if the follicle is simply
damaged the first two or three treatments, the thin (velous) hair is very difficult to
destroy by laser in the future. For this reason, it is important to be treated by an
experienced medical specialist with powerful laser equipment.
Q: How does the LightSheerTM Diode Laser System work?
A: The system emits near-infrared laser light that is absorbed by the pigment
located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of
a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle,
while the system's unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece, the ChillTipTM,
helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.
Q: What advantages does the LightSheer have over other laser hair removal
systems?
A: The LightSheer Diode Laser System was designed from the ground up for
laser hair removal, so it has the wavelength, fluence, pulse width, and active
skin cooling system - are ideally suited for laser hair removal. It was designed
by Lumenis, the largest laser company in the world that has developed laser for
cosmetic and medical applications for over 30 years. The LightSheer is proven
technology which has been the frontrunner in laser hair removal for six years.
The LightSheer Diode Laser System's design provides for enhanced comfort
during treatment, minimal risk of infection, speed and accuracy. Since the
system uses a unique cooling handpiece, it minimizes skin irritation that other
methods may create.
Since it is non-invasive (no needles to penetrate the skin), the risk of introducing
bacteria into the skin is minimal. Because the system is fast, it allows for larger
areas to be treated, considerably increasing the efficiency of the hair removal
process. Finally, the LightSheer Diode Laser is a precise instrument that can be
adjusted to damage only the hair follicle while minimally affecting the
surrounding skin.
Q: Does the LightSheer work on tanned or different skin colors?
A: The LightSheer diode laser system safely and effectively treats all skin types
as well as tanned skin. For darker skin types and people with tans, appropriate
fluences are generally lower and appropriate pulse widths are generally longer
to prevent damage to the epidermis. In experienced hands the LightSheer can
can be used to treat people with all skin types effectively and with minimal risk
for side effects.
Q. How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
A. Even though price per treatment may vary from one laser center to another, we
believe that eventually you end up paying approximately the same price
regardless of where the treatment is performed. Some facilities charge less per
treatment and sell you a package of more treatments tan you may need. At the
Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City, we will be glad to quote you a
price for a series of treatments, however, each treatment is paid separately and
you will only need to pay for as many treatments as you will need.
