What is the latest advancment in the removal of unwanted hair?
The LightSheer Duet is a high speed diode laser with vacuum-assist technology for permanent hair reduction of unwanted hair, whether on the face, back, legs, bikini line, or just about anywhere.  


How does LightSheer Duet remove hair?
LightSheer Duet is a diode laser that impairs hair regrowth. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, allowing the hair to absorb the energy and heat up, which causes damage to the hair follicle and impedes its ability to grow back.  
Can all hair colors and parts of the body be treated?
The unique design of the Light Sheer offers a customized treatment according to your skin color, hair color, hair texture, and location on the body. LightSheer Duet works best with darker hair colors because the light is readily picked up by pigment. White, gray, and blond hair contain minimal to no pigment and for this reason will not respond to treatment. LightSheer Duet can be used on any part of the body including the chin, upper lip, cheeks, neck, legs, arms, underarms, chest and back, as well as sensitive areas like the ears, nose, and bikini line.
What does the LightSheer Duet treatment feel like?
Treatment with the high speed LightSheer duet has little to no discomfort. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required.
How many treatments are required?
This varies depending upon your hair color, location on the body and the color of the skin. Four to six treatments are recommended for lighter skin and six or more treatments for darker skin. 
Are there any side effects?
You may experience some short-term side effects. This may include slight reddening and slight swelling of the skin, which usually goes away in a few hours.  In rare instances, there may be some blistering.
How does LightSheer Duet compare with commonly used hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods to remove unwanted hair along with discomfort and irritation. The  LightSheer Duet offers a faster and a permanent reduction of unwanted hair with a few quick and easy treatments. Slight redness may occur for a few hours after treatment and has minimal to no discomfort. Most patients feel confident enough to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
How does LightSheer Duet treatment compare with electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatment at regular intervals. LightSheer Duet non-invasively treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, LightSheer Duet can effectively treat an area that would take many treatments with electrolysis.
