Humans have more hair follicles per square inch than most higher primates, including chimpanzees and gorillas. Because most of our hair is fine and pale (called vellus hair), it usually is not visible to the naked eye. Consider that the forehead has more hair follicles than any other part of the body. The thicker, fully pigmented hair most people call "real hair" is called terminal hair. This is the hair found on the scalp, legs, back, underarms and genital areas. This is the hair that is bothersome to many individuals and is treatable with specific laser therapy.

Laser hair removal offers a safe and effective means of removing unwanted hair from most areas of the body. Our LightSheer Diode Laser system is designed to specifically target the pigmented melanin in the hair and the surrounding follicle below the surface of the skin producing results that are faster, more reliable and more comfortable than standard long-term methods like electrolysis. Hundreds of hairs can be disrupted at a given session while electrolysis destroys one hair at a time. The LightSheer with its patented ChillTipT provides cooling to the skin before, during and after the actual target vaporization, allowing more powerful pulses while reducing significantly the associated discomfort.

Permanent hair reduction with laser technology is maximized through specific treatment intervals over the course of approximately fourteen months. This is based on the varying growth cycles of different areas of the body. Laser effectively treats only hair that is in the actively growing (Anagen) phase, so multiple sessions are necessary to target these specific times as hair subsequently enters this growth phase. To achieve satisfactory long-term results, five or more treatments are necessary on a specifically outlined skinkareLtd program tailored to your individual desires.

skinkare's state-of-the-art technology and certified laser specialists are able to treat all skin types and ethnic backgrounds of men, women and children. The LightSheer diode laser is delicate enough for a woman's fine sensitive skin yet robust enough for a man's beard, back or arms.
