Question

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately, your question doesn't have a blanket answer.  Every practice will have a reason why the chose a specific laser or manufacturer.  Your most important decision criteria should be who has the most experience.  Besides having good equipment, it is VERY important to use the correct technique and settings.  You shouldn't choose where you do your treatments just based on equipment alone.  Research the reputation of the business and find out if there is a doctor you can speak with before after your treatments.  Best of luck.

Hello, thank you for your question.  I am not that familiar with the LightSheer technology because we have the Candela technology. Candela/Syneron manufactures a device called the Gentle Max Pro that is equipped with both 755nm and 1064nm wavelength to safely treat all skin types.  The technology has an 18mm spot size and cryogen cooling spray that is dispensed with each pulse to cool the surface of the skin and make it more comfortable. Device choice is important, but more importantly is that you find a board certified dermatologist to assure safe/effective treatments.Good Luck!
