Also, how many treatments would it typically require. I have very thick, coarse dark hair. I am planning to have Brazillian (including perianal areas), face (jaw, chin, lip, sideburns) and upper arms done. I've been told that NdYag is usually used for my skin type, but it is less effective and not as pain free as LightSheer Duet. Please advise. Thanks in advance!
The LightSheer Duet is a terrific, safe and effective laser hair removal system used in all skin types. That said, with darker skin, we would encourage you to have a test patch, and presuming everything goes well (typically), then we would continue with a series of 4-8 treatments, depending on the location, your goals etc.
I am an 18 year-old male. I compete in sport at high level which requires me to be hairless. I wanted to undergo permanent hair removal, considering I have hair but I am not a kind of forrest and I have sensitive and delicate skin, I have been told I should try out the Lightsheer Duet. Roughly do you think I could achieve the final results before summer 2012 if I were to start the treatment in September?
There are several excellent laser hair removal systems on the market, and the LightSheer Duet is possibly the best as far as the combination of safety, excellent hair reduction, and the least amount of pain. Speak with your dermatologist to ensure the best system is used for you.
I have never had any kind of laser treatment before, and I have an appointment scheduled this afternoon for lightsheer diode laser hair removal. When I booked it, she told me to shave the area first. My concern is that I wanted to have my chin done, but I only have 5-10 dark hairs that bother me, the rest of the hair is so fine and blone that it is "invisible". I'm nervous that if I shave my chin for treatment that these hairs will become coarser or stubbly, especially after reading that this type of treatment doesn't work well on light/colorless hair. I've been plucking the few dark ones out for a few years because there are so few, but I've been getting ingrown hairs and more self conscious since I don't always notice they are back since some are in hard for me to see places. In addition, my face is breaking out since I'm always touching it to see if I feel any of the hairs coming back. I was hoping for a more permenant solution, but now I'm not sure if this treatment is the most appropriate. I plan to have my underarms done anyway, but should I hold off on the chin and try something like electrolisis instead? I'm open to any other suggestions anyone has!!
Laser Hair Removal is most effective in brown or black hair, especially on a lighter skin background. It will provide long lasting resulting, although an occasional touch-up may be required. Light hair does not respond great to laser, although it will often become finer and thinner, and less of a problem after laser hair removal. There are a few great laser hair removal systems, and LightSheer Duet is one of the best since it is safe and very effective in all skin colours. It is also probably the least painful of the laser hair removal systems.
