How Does It Work?
The LightSheer Desire uses a laser with an 805nm diode wavelength, the new gold standard for all skin types. Repeated pulses from the laser first reduces existing hair, and then allows the laser’s heat to penetrate the skin and direct energy into the hair follicles, reducing future growth. Compared to other laser treatments, the LightSheer Desire’s larger spot size allows for deeper penetration with fewer pulses, decreasing the likelihood of future regrowth, while also allowing for a faster treatment.
The Desire offers three different treatment spot sizes for maximum versatility, and each uses specialized technology suited to that particular spot size. For the largest spot size, the High-Speed Integrated Technology incorporates suction to elevate and stretch the skin. By stretching the skin thinner, the laser achieves maximum absorption into hair follicles, while minimizing the physical sensation of heat. For the two smaller spot sizes, the ChillTip technology uses a specialized cooling system to achieve the same effect. The cold raises the hair follicle, allowing for easier hair reduction and deeper penetration, while also momentarily numbing the skin to minimize pain.
