LightSheer Duet Laser Hair Removal – Warsaw Mokotów
Learn how the 805 nm diode laser works, why sessions are scheduled in a series, and how we tailor parameters to every skin tone (phototypes I–VI) for both women and men.
Original Lumenis LightSheer Duet and how it works

At Depiclinic we work exclusively on four of our own original LightSheer Duet diode lasers manufactured by Lumenis (USA). Operating at a wavelength of 805 nm, the laser achieves long-term hair reduction after a series of 6–8 sessions (results vary, and the treatment plan is always tailored to your skin and hair). With two distinct handpieces on each system, we match the technology to both small, delicate facial areas and larger body zones.
Comfort during the session comes from two technological solutions that reduce discomfort: vacuum-assist and contact cooling. On larger areas (such as legs, back, or chest) we use the High Speed handpiece with gentle vacuum suction, which draws the skin closer to the laser source and makes the session faster and gentler. On smaller or sensitive areas (face, bikini, underarms) we use the precision handpiece with a sapphire ChillTip™ that continuously cools the epidermis.
In accordance with the manufacturer’s clinical protocol, LightSheer Duet treatments are performed on clean, dry, freshly shaved skin. Because no hair shaft remains above the surface to absorb energy prematurely, the light beam travels directly down the pigment in the hair bulb inside the follicle.
Why are treatments performed in a series of 6–8 sessions?
For laser hair removal to disable a follicle, the laser beam must catch the hair in its active growth phase — known as anagen. Only during anagen is the hair bulb firmly connected to the matrix and blood supply, allowing thermal energy to stop future regrowth.
Human hairs do not grow all at once. At any given moment, hairs on your body are in three different stages: active growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and resting (telogen). Because the laser only affects hairs currently in anagen, a single visit cannot remove all hair in a given area.
Long-term hair reduction typically requires a series of 6–8 sessions (results vary). The pace of reduction depends on your genetics, hormone balance, and even certain vitamins or supplements (such as hair-growth supplements). During your free consultation and patch test, our cosmetologist takes all of these factors into account when setting your laser parameters.
- Legs and back: every 8–10 weeks (hair growth cycles in these areas are slower, so appointments are spaced further apart),
- Underarms, bikini, and face: every 4–6 weeks (due to a faster hair turnover cycle).

All skin tones (I–VI), women and men
All skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI)
We treat all skin complexions — from very fair to olive and very dark skin — and it is one of our specialities. The LightSheer Duet laser is cleared for phototypes I–VI. Parameters are selected by our cosmetologist after a free consultation and patch test.
Women and men
We welcome both female and male clients. In addition to underarms, bikini, legs, and face, we regularly treat men’s backs, chests, abdomens, necks, napes, shoulders, and arms using the large High Speed vacuum handpiece.
Which hair colours respond to the laser?
The diode laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair. Dark and medium-brown hairs respond best. Grey, red, and very light blonde hairs usually lack enough pigment and we do not treat them. Blonde hair with a hint of pigment may qualify — our cosmetologist always decides during a free consultation.

“Every skin tone and hair structure is different. Whether you have very fair skin or a dark complexion (Fitzpatrick I–VI), we start with a free consultation and a laser patch test in our Mokotów studio so we can select parameters that are both safe for your epidermis and effective on the hair follicle.”
