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. Areas such as the neck and back which
get severe irritation from rubbing on clothes are of a particular need for laser
hair removal. Laser hair removal offers an excellent permanent solution by
significantly reducing the density and thickness of the hair.
Q. Is treatment painful?
A: Some areas may be more sensitive than others. 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 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.
