Lumenis LightSheer® laser hair removal is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure.
It uses highly concentrated light to damage hair follicles, temporarily preventing hair growth. By using a long laser wavelength, the Lumenis LightSheer® can effectively damage hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin.
Lumenis LightSheer® is a diode laser, meaning that it uses a single wavelength of high energy light to target the colored pigment melanin that is found in hair follicles. When the melanin is heated, this destroys the hair root and ceases blood flow to the follicle, both of which stop hair growth. Since the Lumenis LightSheer® targets melanin in the hair, it works best on dark and/or coarse hair. It can also be used to treat hyperpigmentation and spider veins.
Did You Know?
Lumenis LightSheer® is a diode laser that can treat both light and dark skin. A diode laser has the ability to target specific skin colorations, meaning that it can deliver a focused light beam only to the pigmented area, leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.
Removes Hair Without Skin Irritation
With Lumenis LightSheer® there is no damage to the skin surrounding the hair follicles. This is because the Lumenis LightSheer® laser uses a long laser wavelength at a high speed. Additionally, the laser also utilizes Chill Tip cooling technology to soothe the skin during the treatment so that there is no discomfort.

What to Expect
Your provider will perform a patch test to make sure your skin has no reaction and to determine if topical numbing cream is necessary.
Lumenis LightSheer® treatment is generally comfortable without numbing cream, however numbing cream can be used if needed.
During your treatment, your provider will move the laser across the treatment site. It is normal to experience mild discomfort in the form of a warm pinprick or snapping sensation.
The entire treatment takes about 5-15 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Since all the hair follicles within a treatment area will need to be targeted at different stages of their growth cycle, a full treatment series includes six to eight sessions spaced 4-16 weeks apart.
Recovery Process
- No downtime
- Minor redness & swelling
- Each treatment removes 20% of the hair
- Expect hair in the treatment area to fall out around 3 weeks after the treatment
