Answer
Answer
the Light Sheer Diode Laser was the first to be cleared by the FDA for permanent hair reduction. That is defined by the FDA as 85% or greater hair reduction. It is possible that follicles in the treated area, while not being completely destroyed, will be sufficiently disabled to the point where they produce only very fine, light hairs that do not respond to further laser hair removal treatment. This is backed up by several years of extensive clinical studies and you should be wary of anyone or laser hair removal advertisement that claims otherwise.
Answer
Yes. The LightSheer Diode laser is FDA approved and was developed from several years of research at the Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine, one of the world’s leading medical laser research centers. The LightSheer laser is pulsed, or “turned on”, for only a fraction of a second and the duration of each pulse is just long enough to disable your hair follicles. Another unique component of the LightSheer Diode is the cooled sapphire tip that was designed to protect the skin by actively cooling it before, during and after the laser light is transmitted. The laser tip also draws off heat from the skin surface, which further protects the skin from injury.Answer

Answer
In short it doesn't exactly tickle and feel good. Don't let other laser hair removal centers fool you with lies and hype. It's next to impossible to tell you how the laser will feel on your body, since every single person has a different pain threshold and reaction to the laser. Many people say it feels a lot like getting a tattoo, others say it feels like being snapped by a rubber band and others say they can barely feel the laser at all. Topical anesthetics are sometimes used to make the laser hair removal treatments more comfortable and it's possible (you would have to ask them) your doctor could prescribe you a mild pain killer as well for the laser hair removal treatments. Please don't come in drunk though, if you think that will help with your pain tolerance. This isn't a tattoo parlor after all.
Answer
The LightSheer™ Diode was the first laser to be cleared by the FDA for permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer Diode laser is specifically designed for hair removal only. What this means is unlike most other lasers that are being used like a Swiss Army knife for several different things. The Lightsheer Diode was designed ONLY for laser hair removal and nothing else. We have chosen the LightSheer Diode Laser because of the extensive years of clinical research, that demonstrates its effectiveness for permanent hair reduction. We’ve used the LightSheer Diode Laser for almost 10,000 treatments, so we know it works and provides the kind of long term hair removal results that our patients have come to expect from us.
