At Clovis Laser Center, we use the LightSheer© Diode Laser.  This is a state of the art system designed specially for the removal of unwanted hair.  This system is designed to be faster, more comfortable and more reliable than other methods of hair removal.

How does the laser work?   The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle.  During treatment, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up the hair and impede the follicle's ability to re-grow.   The process treats many hair follicles simultaneously.  This makes the LightSheer© appropriate for treating even large areas of the body quickly and effectively.

An important part of the procedure is the cooling of the skin.  A special cooling tip is part of the handpiece that is used for treatment.  It protects and cools the skin before, during and after each laser pulse.

When compared to other hair removal equipment, the LightSheer© Diode Laser is more specifically designed to operate at the optimal energy level for hair destruction (800 nm).
