ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Laser hair removal has become a popular choice for removing unwanted hair. Because of its precision, lasers can be used to permanently remove hair painlesly and without damage to surrounding skin.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
The laser penetrates the skin keeping the skin intact until the laser reaches its target (the hair follicle). At this point, the energy from the laser is quickly absorbed and converted to heat which destroys the hair without harming any surrounding tissue. Since the hair is now destroyed, the hair will fall off as part of its normal growth cycle, but will never grow back.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED? Common areas of hair removal include underarms, chest, back, legs and bikini lines, but virtually any area can be treated.
WHY OCEAN MEDICAL CLINIC USE THE LYRA LASER AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM OTHER LASERS?
The Lyra 1064 nm laser produces a constant (non-variable) deep penetrating, therapeutic wavelength of light (1064 nm) with adjustable exposure times which makes it unique from most other laser systems.The laser is delivered through a pen-like device that is kept cool constantly by an internal pump to protect the patient's skin and provide highest level of comfort.
Utilizing the latest technology, the Lyra is programmed to provide a laser at a constant energy level without energy spikes from the machine (which can occur in other systems) and thus avoid burning.
The Lyra is FDA approved for all skin types, including very dark and tanned patients. Before Lyra came along, no other laser could be used on all skin tones. Lyra was the first laser designed to treat all skin types and continues to lead in the field of hair removal.
While other companies (i.e. Lightsheer, GentleLase) have claim new breakthroughs, the so-called new improvements by these companies have been utilized by Laserscope since 1998. The technology by Laserscope is unmatched by other laser systems and will not be duplicated for a number of years due to copyright laws and patents. Please schedule a counsult with a physician if you have more inquiries.
IS IT WIDELY RECOGNIZED ?
Hundreds of Lyra Laser systems are in use around the world by many prominent physicians in aesthetic medicine. Many of these are world recognized plastic surgeons at leading universities.

Please call for a free demonstration- you will be amazed at how effortless hair removal can be.
WHEN WOULD A PHYSICIAN USE LYRA AS OPPOSE TO OTHER TYPES OF LASER ?
If a physician had the choice of selecting a laser, Lyra (by Laserscope) will probably be selected because the laser has the most settings to allow for treatment of hair of any thickness. There is no such thing as one size fits all, especially in the field of cosmetics.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY ?
The laser penetrates the skin keeping the skin intact until the laser reaches its target (the hair follicle). At this point, the energy from the laser is quickly absorbed and converted to heat which destroys the hair without harming any surrounding tissue.
