Laser Hair Removal (LightSheer)

Laser hair removal with the LightSheer diode laser targets the pigment in the hair to reduce regrowth over a course of sessions, leaving skin smoother with less need for shaving or waxing. At Klinika Urody VITA areas from the upper lip to the legs are treated, priced by size. A course spaced several weeks apart is required because the laser works on hair in its active growth phase.

Laser hair removal uses a focused beam of light — here the LightSheer diode laser — that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft and follicle. The light energy is converted to heat, which is associated with damage to the follicle's ability to produce new hair. Because only hairs in their active growth phase respond well at any one time, a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart is needed to treat hairs as they cycle into that phase and to achieve a lasting reduction in regrowth. At Klinika Urody VITA the area is shaved and the laser passed over the skin; many diode systems include cooling to improve comfort, and clients often describe a brief warm snapping sensation. Treatment time ranges from a few minutes for a small area such as the upper lip to longer for larger areas like the legs or back, which is reflected in the price. Mild redness or slight bumpiness around the follicles for a short time afterwards is normal. Sun avoidance before and after sessions and diligent SPF are important, and the treatment is generally most effective on darker hair. A typical plan is a course of several sessions followed by occasional top-ups, with progressively less and finer regrowth over the course. Suitability, the right settings for your skin and hair, and any contraindications are assessed at consultation.
