Lumenis’ High Speed LightSheer Duet Hair Removal for Men
Lumenis’ High Speed LightSheer Duet for permanent hair reduction was featured recently in the New York Times Fashion & Style section with Dr. Arielle Kauvar, Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology New York University Medical Center and Founding Director, New York Laser & Skin Care. During the interview, Dr. Kauvar described the LightSheer Duet as a welcome relief for men seeking a smoother appearance, with reduction in treatment time and improved patient comfort. “Men who wanted to have their back hair removed permanently, for example, often had to sit with a topical anesthetic for an hour before each of a half-dozen visits, so there used to be the ‘time and pain and nuisance’ factor.” With the advent of the High Speed LightSheer Duet welcome relief has arrived. Now ‘big swaths of hair can be removed in multiple 15-minute treatments,” stated Dr. Kauvar.

“Clearly men accept that excessive body hair can be unattractive and uncomfortable. However, very few have the patience to subject themselves to lengthy hair removal procedures, particularly if pain is involved. Thanks to the new High Speed LightSheer Duet, these men will now be able to schedule appointments that are far more convenient, get in and have their back or chest treated with speed and comfort, get out and return to their normal routine,” said Mr. Robert Mann, General Manager of Lumenis Global Aesthetics & Dermatology Business.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates 14% of the 1.3 million laser hair removal procedures performed in 2008 within the US alone were for men, whereas 83% for women (www.surgery.org). Other reports estimate procedure volume to be much higher. Faster and comfortable treatment alternatives such as the new High Speed LightSheer Duet have the potential to expand this market significantly. Clinicians already report an increase in number of younger men seeking laser hair removal in general. This is further supported by online advertorials for major razor manufacturers geared towards attracting and educating younger men on the benefits of shaving multiple body areas.
“Laser hair removal offers permanent results for long term satisfaction — actual reduction in hair count and thickness. This is a major advantage over the temporary satisfaction and ongoing nuisance associated with shaving or waxing,” added Dr. Mitchel P. Goldman, MD. Clinical Professor Dermatology/Medicine, University of California, San Diego and Medical Director of La Jolla Spa MD. “I have personally tried all of the various hair removal lasers developed over the past 18 years, to remove the hair on my own back in addition to my patients. The new LightSheer Duet is the best by far! The procedure was literally painless for me, and took only 15 minutes. Actually, I’m still nearly hair free four months post treatment. This is definitely the best thing I’ve ever done for my back.”
