Why choose the LightSheer™ Diode?

The LightSheer™ Diode is recognized as the "Gold Standard" in laser hair removal, thanks to its unparalleled clinical success. Its patented ChillTip™ handpiece continuously cools the skin, enhancing comfort and safety while improving the laser's effectiveness on the hair follicle. This class IV medical device is specifically engineered for hair removal and effectively treats Skin Types I-IV

Rated highly by dermatology professionals and supported by extensive research, the LightSheer™ Diode is a top choice for long-lasting hair removal. Unlike Pulsed Dye, IPL, or BBL devices, which use radiofrequency and are class II, the LightSheer™ Diode is a class IV medical device designed specifically for superior hair removal results.

Deeper Penetration for Optimal Results

Illustrations of tissue penetration reveal the depth at which different laser devices operate. The LightSheer™ Diode outperforms even ND

lasers in terms of penetration depth, thanks to its ability to be compressed onto the skin. This compression allows the laser waves to penetrate deeper, effectively targeting hair from head to toe, no matter the depth of the follicle.

Thermolysis, Galvanic, and Blend capabilities

Thermolysis (Flash) uses a small alternating current to cauterize hair follicles, making it ideal for treating thin, fine hairs. It's often what people imagine when they think of electrolysis.

Galvanic works by utilizing a current that converts the salts and water in the follicle into lye which breaks the hair bulb down.

Blend combines Galvanic and Thermolysis techniques, utilizing both heat and chemical reactions to effectively remove thick, coarse hairs. It's one of the most effective methods for permanent hair removal.
