DermaStar uses the LightSheer Lumenis DUET — a diode laser platform frequently cited as the gold standard in aesthetic laser hair removal, with FDA clearance for all skin types. The DUET's large applicator head uses vacuum-assisted tissue stabilisation rather than cooling gel, allowing large areas like the full back or both legs to be treated in under 20 minutes without topical anaesthetic. The diode wavelength (810 nm) targets melanin in the hair follicle shaft; thermal energy travels to the follicle bulb, permanently disabling the growth centre. Because only 15–25% of follicles are in the active growth phase at any one time, 4–8 sessions per area are needed to achieve lasting reduction.
About this treatment
The LightSheer Lumenis DUET is a diode laser operating at 810 nm — a wavelength that sits in the optimal absorption window for melanin while penetrating deeply enough to reach the follicle bulb (located 3–7 mm below the skin surface depending on body region). This targeting precision means the laser selectively heats the follicle without significant absorption in the surrounding dermis, making it suitable across a wide range of skin tones.
The DUET platform is distinguished by its high-speed (HS) handpiece, which uses integrated vacuum suction and mechanical skin stabilisation rather than the cold gel that older diode systems require. Vacuum stretches the skin and draws the follicle slightly closer to the surface, increasing energy absorption at the bulb. The result is effective follicular destruction at lower fluences (energy per cm²), which reduces discomfort and eliminates the need for…
DermaStar positions the LightSheer DUET as their primary device for this modality and the clinic explicitly describes it as the best FDA-certified device in aesthetic medicine for hair removal. Treatment is available for women and men across all body regions where persistent hair growth is unwanted.
