I had patch test with Lightsheer Diode Laser at 3 different laser clinics. Each clinic used the almost same settings. At the first two clinics, they shaved the area and applied gel before treatment. After treatment, my skin got red and some bumps appeared, but I didn't burn. But when I had patch test at the third clinic, electrologist didn't shave and apply any gel before treatment. When she treated the area, I burned and got blister on my skin.
When the similar setting was used with same laser, why did my skin react differently? At the first 2 clinics (which use Lighsheer frequently on clients), I was told that my skin is good for Lightsheer but at third clinic (which uses more GentleYAG on clients), I was told that Lightsheer is not good for my skin. Why is this?
Answer: LightSheer good for light skin types Light Sheer is good for types I – III skin but darker skin, IV – VI may absorb too much energy in the darker skin and the heat gets trapped there rather than being absorbed deeper in the hair follicles. This epidermal heating could result in more of a reaction.

Answer: Lightsheer is best for light skin and dark hair Even though the Lightsheer is good for all skin types, people with light skin and dark hair will get faster results. Shaving the hair first is very important and will prevent burning the skin during the treatment. Gel is used only to help the laser slide easily and it also has a cooling effect on the skin. With the Lightsheer you will see immediate hair reduction no matter what skin type you are, it just takes longer for darker skin, but the end results are the same.
