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.
