Loading... Please wait...Lumenis Lightsheer 2009
The Lumenis LightSheer systems from around 2009 were part of the early-to-mid generation diode laser hair removal platforms, especially the LightSheer ET and LightSheer Duet models. These were widely used in dermatology and aesthetic clinics for permanent hair reduction.
