The Lightsheer Laser is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. Patients who have darker hair with light skin color are the best candidates, although darker skin types can also be successfully treated. Laser hair removal does not remove the hair forever but does provide a prolonged period of hair reduction. Most sites need 4 to 6 treatments for best results. Hair removal laser treatments will be given by a highly trained registered nurse who specializes in laser therapy under the close supervision of the laser surgeon. This differs from many hair removal salons that hire "technicians" who may have no previous laser experience.
