Diode Laser Hair Removal
The Diode Laser Hair Removal permanently eliminates unwanted hair safely and quickly on both light and dark skin types.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The diode laser emits energy through the hair to the cells responsible for its growth, preventing them from reproducing. This system does not burn or harm the skin due to a cooling system that protects the epidermis during treatment. The procedure involves sliding and/or pulsing the laser over the skin. The sensation produced during each laser pulse is similar to a gentle pinch.
CARE TO TAKE
It is essential not to wax or tweeze the area for a month before the session. You may use any other method as long as it does not remove the hair root; therefore, depilatory creams or razors are acceptable.
Additionally, to enhance the treatment’s efficacy, avoid sun exposure for 15 days prior to the session.
Lastly, avoid artificial tanning or hair bleaching before each session, as the laser is ineffective on light hair.
As with all lasers, it is crucial to take precautions, such as sun protection during the 4 weeks following treatment completion. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, apply a high-SPF sunscreen.
SIDE EFFECTS
During and after the session, it is normal to feel heat or burning in the treated area. This sensation usually subsides within 48 hours and can be alleviated with a soothing gel.
EFFICACY
Since the wavelength of this laser is longer than that of other lasers, such as Ruby or Alexandrite, the diode laser can penetrate the skin more deeply, achieving better results.
This process allows for the permanent destruction and elimination of hair with rapid recovery. Individuals with darker hair will see results more quickly and immediately.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
Since only visible hair can be treated, several sessions of diode laser hair removal may be needed to permanently remove all hair from an area.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Laser hair removal is contraindicated in the following situations: inflamed or burned skin, infections, wounds, tattoos, light or depigmented hair, medications causing photosensitivity, and the use of Accutane or Retin-A.
