Laser Hair Removal

Wabash Valley Skin Care Services offers laser hair removal utilizing the LightSheer Diode Laser, an innovative, advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair. This state-of-the-art system is specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully,
and more reliably than other hair removal methods used in the past.

During the treatment, the laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted by the LightSheer Diode Laser is well absorbed by the pigment located in your hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling numerous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair’s regrowth.

Importantly, LightSheer’s special contact-cooling hand piece is perfect for your skin. It protects and cools the upper layer of the skin before, during, and after each pulse while directing the laser energy to the hair root. The combination of this aggressive skin cooling and other key factors allows safe and effective treatment for all skin types.

The length of a laser session may be a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. Because the laser tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, more than one treatment may be required to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter this growth phase. Three to five treatments are typically suggested.
