Laser Hair Removal

How the Lumenis LightSheer Duet Laser Works

The Lumenis LightSheer Duet laser creates a focused beam with a wavelength of 800–810 nm, targeting melanin within the hair follicle. The pigment absorbs light energy, converts it into heat, and the hair root gradually breaks down. The device uses vacuum assistance to speed up the procedure and reduce pain, with two handpieces allowing for the treatment of large areas and small body parts with maximum precision.

The vacuum gently pulls the skin towards the handpiece, allowing the beam to penetrate deeper and target more precisely. This makes the treatment area more accessible to the laser, and the flashes feel softer, creating comfort throughout the entire procedure. Heating the melanin in the follicles initiates the gradual destruction of the hair structure, while the cooling system maintains comfort and protects the skin.

The laser is suitable for all skin and hair types, including light and fine hair. It is effective even on sensitive body areas and guarantees consistent results without burns or irritation. Now that it's clear how the technology works, it's worth learning how to prepare for it.

Preparation for Laser Hair Removal

To achieve the maximum effect from laser hair removal, it is important to properly prepare the skin. By following simple recommendations, you can make the procedure as safe and comfortable as possible:

• Do not remove hair with the root for 3–4 weeks before the procedure.
• Shave the desired area with a razor 24 hours before the session.
• Avoid peels, scrubs, and alcohol-containing products for several days before the procedure.
• On the day of the procedure, do not apply creams, deodorants, or oils.
• If you have had herpes previously, antiviral prophylaxis is recommended.

How Laser Hair Removal is Performed

The procedure begins with a consultation and skin assessment. The specialist cleans the area, applies cooling gel, and selects individual laser parameters. The vacuum-assisted handpiece gently pulls the skin, bringing the follicles closer to the light source. During the procedure, the client feels a slight warmth — without pain or discomfort. After treatment, the skin is cooled with gel or thermal water.

A session lasts from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the epilation area. After the very first session, hair begins to fall out, and the skin becomes smooth and soft. To achieve a lasting effect, a full course consists of 5–8 procedures with an interval of 4–6 weeks.

Indications for Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is suitable for those who experience problems with excessive or uneven hair growth — on the face, neck, arms, abdomen, back, or thighs. These issues can be related to hormonal changes, genetics, or the consequences of other hair removal methods. Laser treatment destroys the follicle, eliminates ingrown hairs, and makes the skin smooth.

• irritation and redness after shaving;
• ingrown hairs;
• excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis);
• dense, dark hair;
• sensitive skin;
• desire to permanently get rid of frequent shaving.

Contraindications for Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is safe, however, the procedure is not performed during:

• pregnancy,
• breastfeeding,
• acute inflammation or active herpes.
• taking antibiotics,
• recent tan and skin injuries.

Before the procedure, a cosmetologist conducts a consultation to rule out risks and adapt the laser parameters to the skin condition.
