LightSheer Vs. GentleLASE - What's the Difference? Lightsheer and GentleLASE are two brand names of laser hair removal treatments - I get that. What I don't get is the difference between two. How do I know which one is better?

A: Lightsheer vs. GentleLase

If you are a light skin type (Caucasian), either of these lasers are appropriate for you. The GentleLase is an Alexandrite laser and the Lightsheer is a Diode laser. Although they are slightly different types of light (755nm for Alex and 810 for Diode) they are both very effective for light skinned laser hair removal. The GentleLase may be marginally more painful because it is air cooled rather than contact cooled (Lightsheer).

Ultimately, the total cost and result may boil down to which practitioner is more experienced in this situation as the number of treatments required should be similar.
