The LightSheer Diode Laser is the world's most advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair. Most body areas can be treated with this state-of-the-art technology. Patients visit dermatologic cosmetic surgeon Dr. Rhoda Narins for laser hair removal in Westchester, New York City, Manhattan, across the U.S., and around the world.

Just about your entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this hair is fine and pale, it usually isn't visible on face, neck, abdomen, breasts, arms or thighs.
A Better Solution for Unwanted Hair

In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, shaving, waxing, or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, and all are temporary.

For long-term hair removal, electrolysis was popular but it is painful and slow. Hair by hair, an electric current passed through a needle is used to destroy the hair root. It typically takes months or even years of regular visits - even for small areas. Risks include electrical shock, infection, and pitting or scarring.

Now there's a more effective solution, the new LightSheer Diode Laser, a state-of the-art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully, and more reliably than electrolysis.
Understanding Laser Treatment

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles. The light emitted by the LightSheer Diode Laser is absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth.

Importantly, LightSheer's special contact-cooling handpiece is perfect for sensitive skin. It directs the laser energy to the hair root while protecting and cooling the surrounding skin.
