Laser Hair Removal (LightSheer Duet)

Permanent hair reduction with the US-made Lumenis LightSheer Duet diode laser at My Best Care's Praha 5 branch. The 800 nm diode wavelength with vacuum-assisted handpiece targets follicle melanin efficiently and comfortably across all common areas — underarms, bikini, face, legs and back — with published per-area pricing, 5-session package discounts of up to ~30%, and a current 25% promotion on underarms and bikini.

LightSheer Duet is one of the most clinically documented diode laser platforms for permanent hair reduction, developed by Lumenis (USA). **Technology:** The 800 nm diode wavelength is preferentially absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. The Duet's large vacuum-assisted handpiece gently suctions the skin, stretching it thin and drawing follicles closer to the energy source — allowing effective treatment at lower fluence with markedly less discomfort and faster coverage of large areas (full legs in a fraction of the time of small-spot lasers). Smaller areas are treated with the chilled-tip handpiece. **Why multiple sessions:** Only follicles in the active anagen growth phase (roughly 20–30% at any moment) are destroyed per session. A course of 6–8 sessions at 4–8-week intervals treats the full follicle population; My Best Care's 5-packs price sessions up to ~30% below single-session rates, and seasonal promotions (currently 25% off underarms and bikini to 30.6.2026) reduce this further. **Results:** After a complete course most patients achieve permanent reduction of the large majority of treated hair, with occasional fine regrowth managed by an annual maintenance session. **Preparation:** Shave the area 1–2 days before; no waxing/plucking for 4 weeks before the course; no active tan — avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks before each session and use SPF after.
