'Light Sheer Duet' Laser Hair Removal

Why laser treatment?
Though there are many ways to remove unwanted hair (such as shaving and plucking), lasers are the only permanent method of hair reduction. Also, a large area of the skin can be treated via laser at one time, making the procedure faster and even more cost-effective than waxing or electrolysis.

How does it work?
The laser uses a beam of light which penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigment color in the hair where it is converted to heat.
This heat travels down the hair shaft to the hair root and destroys it so that further hair cannot grow.
Because hair has different growth phases and the treatment only works in the active growth phase, several treatments are necessary to achieve a lasting result.
The number of treatments needed will depend upon the hair density, color, skin type and treatment area, together with ethnic background and hormones.
Typically 6 to 10 treatments are required for light skin and possibly 10 to 115 treatments with darker skin.
Many lasers used for laser hair removal cannot be used in darker skin types as they burn the skin, but at Serayu Beauty we have the latest laser hair removal system, The LightSheer Duet, which works better on darker skin types.
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?
There is an ideal skin tone and hair color for laser hair removal, but that does not mean everyone else is excluded. The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone with fair skin, and darker, coarser, hair. You should avoid tanning or sunburn prior to the procedure. The most unsuccessful candidates for laser hair removal are those with red or blonde hair and darker skin tones. Call us to set up a free consultation.

How many sessions will I need?
On average, a good candidate would need a minimum of 6 to 10 sessions to see significant results. The number of sessions depends on various parameters, including the area of the body treated, skin color, coarseness of hair, and sex. Coarse dark hair on light skin is easiest to treat. A series of treatments should be spaced at 4-6 weeks apart for most cases.

Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, the FDA has approved laser hair removal as a safe means of permanent hair reduction. The laser settings used are individually chosen for your skin type and hair color to minimize the risk of any significant skin reaction.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Yes, laser hair removal is a permanent hair reduction procedure. Though, it is always possible for new hair to grow after any form of hair removal treatment. However, laser treatment is the nearest we can get to achieving excellent long-term results.

Occasionally it is possible to see the re-growth of small amounts of hair over a period of time, but this is usually weaker and lighter in color and can be treated again if necessary.
