Lightsheer laser hair removal for women and men
The Lightsheer laser system uses a high-energy laser and offers the fastest and most effective solution for the removal of unwanted hair on the entire body (face, back, legs, bikini line or other body areas).
Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually all skin colours (up to phototype IX) and hair types. From the very first session, laser hair removal will make you feel more comfortable, your skin will be softer and you will have less irritation or ingrown hairs.
The light emitted by the laser is attracted to the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The heat is then absorbed by the hair and destroys its root permanently. Darker hairs are therefore easier to treat. White, red and grey hairs are impossible to remove due to the absence of melanin.
The Soprano laser
During the photo-depilation process, the hair pigment (melanin) absorbs the light, which turns into heat and destroys the hair follicle. This destruction prevents the hair from growing back, without ever damaging the surrounding tissue.
The Soprano technology is specially designed for matte skin (phototype X and XI). It consists of sending small doses of energy at a high firing frequency. The sweeping movement of the handpiece in contact with the area to be depilated considerably reduces the discomfort of the session. You come in for a quick treatment and leave the practice shortly afterwards, without any side effects.
The result is safe, fast, effective and long-lasting hair removal.

they must be touched gently.
Lightsheer Laser Hair Removal
The Lightsheer laser emits pulsed light to reach the hair follicles. The diode produces a high energy density suitable for all hair types and skin colours. The melanin in the hair follicle captures the laser light. The energy released by the laser pulse is converted into heat to damage the hair roots.
Preparing for a laser treatment
Sun exposure and sunbeds should be avoided throughout the treatment period and for one month before and after the treatment. If you are still at risk of sun exposure, a high level of sun protection (SPF50) should be used every two hours. The use of tanning accelerators or self-tanning products should be stopped at least two weeks before the start of treatment. Shave the area of the body you wish to have laser hair removal one day in advance. Waxing and other hair removal methods should be avoided during the treatment. Wash your skin with soapy water before the treatment.
The total duration of the laser treatment
On the pigmentation of the hair and is therefore most effective during the hair growth phase. Hair in the renewal or mature phase is not receptive to laser treatment, as it lacks pigment. It is therefore important to treat the same area of the body four to six times. In some cases, a slight regrowth can be noticed, usually with lighter, finer hair. An annual maintenance session is usually sufficient in this case.
Repeat the hair removal afterwards
The laser destroys the cells at the root of the hair, which prevents it from growing back. Laser light is most effective on dark hair, which contains more melanin (pigment). Permanent hair removal does not result in the complete disappearance of hair, but it does reduce it significantly.
Laser treatment for all skin types
For this reason, the treatment is mostly carried out during autumn, winter and spring. Darker or tanned skin is more difficult to treat.
Laser hair removal, a permanent treatment
As hair grows in cycles and laser treatment is only effective during the anagen phase, each treatment session destroys 20 to 30% of the hair follicles. Four to six sessions are therefore necessary to achieve a satisfactory result.
Soprano laser hair removal
Are you looking for a fast laser treatment without side effects? The Soprano laser is the one for you. The device releases small doses of energy to reach the hair follicle and destroy it, without damaging the skin. The area to be removed is scanned in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
On which parts of the body can the soprano laser be used?
All areas of the body can be treated safely and comfortably: face, neck, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, back, abdomen, etc.
The feeling during laser treatment
The innovative treatment method of the Soprano makes it the most comfortable laser for hair removal. The sensation can range from that of a hot stone massage to an intense but tolerable heat sensation. In fact, the treatment avoids the use of anaesthetics.
The procedure of a laser hair removal session
Although the soprano can be used on tanned skin, it is preferable to avoid tanning, UV light and the use of self-tanning creams for a fortnight before the treatment. As the laser targets the hair root, waxing, tweezing, creams or electrolysis should also be avoided before the treatment in order to preserve the hair root. On the other hand, it is necessary to shave the area to be treated the day before the hair removal session.
The session is started by cleansing the area to be treated to remove all traces of cosmetics. An ultrasound-type gel is applied to facilitate the movement of the handpiece over the skin and increase the effectiveness and comfort of the patient. During the treatment, you and your doctor will wear protective glasses that are opaque or have a specific filter.
The duration of a laser hair removal session
The Soprano is the fastest system designed for medical laser hair removal. It is capable of covering large areas at high speed and treating many hairs with each light emission. The exact time depends on the size of the area to be treated (between 5 and 45 minutes).
The number of laser treatments
All hair follicles go through periods of lethargy and growth. The Soprano only targets the active follicles that produce hair. Therefore, the treatment must be repeated until all follicles in the target area are in the growth phase. Clinical studies indicate that between five and seven sessions are needed, sometimes more in hormone-stimulated areas (face, mall, underarms). The interval between sessions is four to eight weeks. However, there is one reservation: white hair cannot be treated.
Does hair grow back after laser hair removal?
80-95% of hairs do not grow back after laser hair removal. However, the hair remains in place after the first few sessions until it eventually falls out.
Laser hair removal for men: at what age should you start?
In general, it is necessary to wait until the age of 30 for a first laser hair removal to have mature, thick and dark hair.
Is laser hair removal painful ?
No, the procedure is not painful. When the light comes into contact with the skin, you may feel some discomfort or discomfort.
What size hair should be removed by laser?
Laser hair removal works best on hair smaller than 1 mm. You should therefore shave before each session.
