Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works on the principle of selective absorption of the light in the melanin (colour) in the hair or skin. Using the revolutionary Lumenis Lightsheer ET Diode Systems at our clinics in London, Altrincham Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Bury Lancashire for the removal of unwanted hair for most skin types for males and females from all parts of the body including legs, chin, upper lip, bikini area, underarms, back and chest.

The Lightsheer Diode laser system delivers pulsed infra-red light. Based on state of the art diode laser technology, the Lightsheer system offers many advantages, including the combination of a favourable wavelength, excellent pulse characteristics and unique integrated cooling.

Like all pulsed lasers, the Lightsheer laser produces a pulse of coherent light with a specific wavelength. The Lightsheer wavelength is nominally 800 nanometers(nm), in the near infra-red range of the spectrum just beyond the visible range.

How The Diode Works

The therapeutic basis of the LightSheer diode laser system is selective photothermolysis. In order to destroy the hair follicle, the 800 nm laser light penetrates deeply into the dermis where the optical energy is preferentially absorbed by the melanin (dark colour) in the hair, causing rapid heating of the hair shaft and follicle destroying its capacity for growth. The duration of the laser pulses is long enough to disable the hair follicle, while short enough to limit heat transfer to the surrounding tissue. By conductively cooling the skin, the chilled handpiece tip helps to reduce temperature rise in melanin rich epidermis allowing for the treatment of darker skin tones.

Cristianos have selected this laser because of the depth of penetration of the light and its ability to extend treatment to darker skin tones. Like all of our systems for laser hair removal the Lightsheer is clinically proven safe and effective.

Without Chris Hart and Cristianos I doubt very much that I would still be here, I hated myself, I hated my life and I hated what I had become, yet thanks to Chris my confidence is growing with each treatment, my self- esteem is growing, I honestly thought I was a hopeless case……read more

Shaving left a shadow as did hair removal cream, people started talking to my beard which was humiliating. My Doctor sympathised but could offer no help; I had no choice but to seek professional hair removal and with my daughter’s help started to research my options…….read more

After years of living with excess dark hair on my face, I was finally diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian syndrome when I was 18. Being of very fair skin and a young woman, it was very hard to deal with my ever growing hair on my upper lip, chin sides and sides of face…….. read more

FAQs

Yes the diamond cooling tip allows for cooling of the dermis and thus allows us to use the diode laser for the treatment of darker skin tones.

No laser/IPL system can treat white or grey hair because we rely on the light being absorbed in the dark colour in the hair shaft.

Yes all of our clients have to have a test patch no matter which laser/IPL system is used. This is important for your own safety. There is no charge at Cristianos for consultation or test patch.

No, you wouldn't be able to have treatment if you are suntanned, have a false tan or a user of sunbeds, this is because the laser light could get trapped in the Melanin and cause the area to overheat thus causing blistering or even burns.
