Diode laser hair removal is an innovative non-invasive solution to unwanted body hair, performed using a handheld device that emits pulses of laser energy that penetrate deep into your skin to target hair follicles and disable them permanently. Once the laser energy hits a hair follicle it cannot produce more hair and has to stop producing growth altogether.

Treatment areas may include arms, back, chest, legs or bikini line – no downtime necessary! Compared to shaving or waxing methods of removal such as laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal utilizes selective photothermolysis technology. This works by heating melanin within hair follicles up to 60 degrees, targeting any surrounding melanin which could damage or redden skin nearby, potentially leading to reddening and blistering as a side effect. Laser hair removal aims to avoid these harmful side effects as much as possible.

Laser treatments work by applying diode laser light that absorbs pigment in your hair, turning into heat and sizzling the melanin so it cannot grow anymore, rendering that particular follicle incapable of producing hair again in that spot. Once this process has taken place, nature takes over and new growth won’t appear there anymore – meaning laser treatment won’t have any bearing whatsoever on new growth there!

Laser technology has made great strides over time, becoming far superior to older technologies in its ability to target hair follicles without harming surrounding tissue and less treatments needed to reach all types of hair (fine or thick and dark).
