Notes
First dual-wavelength system in the LightSheer family, adding 1060nm to the established 805nm diode. Three handpieces: HS (22x35mm, vacuum-assisted HIT for large areas, available in both wavelengths), LR (9x27mm, ChillTip sapphire cooling), and ET (9x9mm, ChillTip for small/hard-to-reach areas). Up to 75% faster than competing devices at launch. Introduced in 2014. Succeeded by the LightSheer Quattro which further refined the dual-wavelength platform. Many Infinity units remain in active clinical use.
Overview
The first LightSheer model to offer dual wavelengths. Added the 1060nm diode to the proven 805nm platform, enabling safe year-round treatment of darker and tanned skin types that the single-wavelength LightSheer models couldn't optimally address. Now succeeded by the LightSheer Quattro.
How It Works
Two diode wavelengths target different skin types: 805nm penetrates effectively across lighter skin tones, while 1060nm bypasses epidermal melanin for safer treatment on darker and tanned skin. The vacuum-assisted HS handpiece (22x35mm) draws skin closer to the laser source for faster large-area treatment with reduced pain — the vacuum mechanism blocks pain signals by activating tactile and pressure receptors. ChillTip handpieces (ET 9x9mm and LR 9x27mm) use sapphire contact cooling for high-fluence precision work on smaller areas.
Typical Uses
- Large-area hair removal at speed (legs, back) via vacuum-assisted HS handpiece
- Darker and tanned skin types year-round via 1060nm wavelength
- Small or hard-to-reach areas (face, bikini) via ET/LR ChillTip handpieces
- Vascular lesions and pigmented lesions
Key Features
First dual-wavelength LightSheer. The 1060nm addition was a significant upgrade for clinics serving diverse populations. Vacuum-assisted HIT technology on the large 22x35mm handpiece makes it one of the fastest hair removal systems available. No gels or anesthetics needed. Now succeeded by the LightSheer Quattro, but many Infinity units remain in active clinical use.
