Lumenis Lightsheer

A hi-tech hair removal system for all skin types

What is the Lumenis
Lightsheer?

The Lumenis Lightsheer is a laser hair removal system that offers dual light wavelength options to treat a wide variety of skin types. This versatile diode laser technology offers a permanent solution to hair removal by targeting the base of hair follicles in the skin, heating them, and destroying them, all without harming any nearby tissues. The results are clinically proven, safe, relatively painless, and easy compared to many other hair removal techniques. This makes Lumenis Lightsheer treatment a great option, if not the best option for permanent hair removal.

Lumenis Lightsheer for Laser Hair Removal

The Lumenis Lightsheer is a staple treatment option for body hair removal. Hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures sought after by men and women alike, and the removal of unwanted hair can help achieve a smooth, clean aesthetic for your skin and body.

The Lumenis Lightsheer system uses diode laser technology that can be set to two different light wavelengths. Depending on the wavelength it’s set to, it can be tuned to treat lighter or darker pigment skin, making it a very versatile laser. The laser works by targeting the hair follicles based on their pigment, which allows the laser to very selectively heat the follicles without harming the surrounding tissues. This heat damages the hair follicle to obstruct hair growth in the treatment areas. This leaves the desired areas free of hair growth for much longer than most other hair removal options.

The handpiece used to administer laser treatment directly to the skin uses a couple interesting cutting-edge components to maximize the results.

vacuum suction is applied on the skin to stretch it tight, ensuring that the laser pulses cover a sizeable area of skin and that laser pulses travel deep enough into the skin to reach the target hair follicles.

provides temporary numbing to the skin and helps position hair follicles for maximum laser absorption.

How long do results last?

Luminous light sheer laser hair removal heats and destroys any existing hair follicles in the areas treated quickly, effectively and permanently. New hair follicles may develop under the influence of our sex hormones.

Several treatments may be required over a series of weeks to months to maximize results.

The treatments are “near-permanent “ due to new hair follicles being stimulated by our body’s hormones with time throughout life . Therefore maintenance treatments may be required at some point to continue the aesthetic effects of any permanent hair removal.

What should I expect with the treatment?

To start, you and Dr. Brandish will develop an individualized treatment plan to determine if the Lumenis Lightsheer is the best tool for the desired result.

At the session, the patient will rest with proper eye protection from the laser. The skin will be prepped and cleaned for treatment. The laser handpiece will be placed against the desired area of treatment and laser pulses will be initiated as needed. The sensation tends to produce mild discomfort, but the use of topical anaesthetics and the Lumenis Lightsheer’s ChillTip technology can help numb/cool these areas to make treatment much more comfortable. Patients often feel less discomfort as they do more sessions over time due to reduced number of hair follicles.

Sun exposure should be limited for several days after treatment.

Are there side effects to be aware of
with the Lumenis Lightsheer?

Side effects tend to be mild and include:

– Redness or irritation
– Skin pigmentation changes

These side effects dissipate within a few hours to days with proper care. More severe side effects may include blistering, burning, or scarring, but are extremely rare. Proper precautions are always taken to minimize and prevent these risks and leave our patients satisfied and happy with great results.

—Gladys E.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.

—Ciara L.

I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.

—Sean O.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.

—Terri B.

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !

—Candy F.

I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
