LightSheer®DUET, FLINCH-FREE LASER HAIR REMOVAL for MEN AND WOMEN

Now you can eliminate unwanted hair comfortably and in much less time. Our Light Sheer DUET laser brings the hair follicle closer to the treatment head with new vacuum assist technology.

Laser Hair RemovalThe benefits are significant and include:

• Up to 75% faster treatment time.

• No topical anesthetic cream, cooling gels or cooling devices needed.

• Virtually painless with no downtime.

• Safer than traditional laser hair removal systems.

• Great for large treatment areas. Especially the stomach, arms, back, shoulders and neck for men.

Women are finding this to be the best hair removal solution for the legs, bikini area and underarms. This ingenious solution offers new advantages. Gentle suction slightly stretches the treatment area which allows the laser light to interact more efficiently with the desired target, melanin in the hair follicle. Less energy is lost to pigment in the skin and blood flow in surrounding tissue. Nerve endings are stimulated by the vacuum, "fooling" nerve endings into perceiving less pain. The vacuum pulls the hair follicles closer to the diode surface. This allows for deeper penetration, with a reduced need for laser energy (about 60%.) Ultimately treatments are safer and more comfortable.

With this new technology, many men are now able to consider laser hair removal. Before this, it was simply too long, painful and expensive. Now there´s a quick, comfortable solution to what can be an embarrassing problem.

LightSheer DUET Vacuum Assist Technology

Laser Hair Removal

  • 1) Vacuum pulls skin into the hand piece. This brings hair closer to the laser pulse, gently compresses tissue and surrounding vessels and temporarily displaces blood.
  • 2) Skin senses pressure instead of laser pulse, which uses less energy. Heat builds up and damages hair follicles and their ability to regrow.
  • 3) After treatment, patient can resume normal activities.
