Laser hair removal offers more permanent hair removal solutions than shaving and waxing by permanently dissolving melanin within each hair follicle, thus impeding its growth and stopping further hair from growing back.
MeDioStar diode laser treatment is safe for all skin and hair colors (Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-VI), however certain steps should be taken prior to beginning treatments to ensure maximum safety for each client.
1. Set the Temperature
Diode laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution to ridding oneself of unwanted hair. Utilizing higher powered lasers than IPL machines, diode laser treatment provides faster results with reduced discomfort.
Diode technology employs a large beam of laser light that penetrates deep into the skin, targeting each pigmented hair follicle to heat its bulb and shaft to disarm or disable hair from growing back. Furthermore, this laser features an expansive spot size, making treatment of large areas of body easier.
First step of using the diode laser hair removal machine for clients is setting its temperature according to skin type and color. It is crucial that this step be done properly as using too high of temperatures can burn your client and lead to permanent damage.
Before beginning treatment on multiple clients on the same day, take time to clean your handpiece thoroughly. Doing this will prevent cross-contamination from multiple treatments being given in one sitting and should always change out its distilled water with disinfected after every use.
To prepare the laser for use, first remove all makeup and lotion from your client’s face, followed by applying a cooling gel. This will reduce pain during treatment while protecting skin damage from occurring during this process. Furthermore, make use of its cooling mechanism.
Steps are key in order to prevent side effects and ensure the success of treatments, while making your clients feel more at ease during sessions and increasing effectiveness of each session.
After each treatment, it’s essential to wash and cleanse the area surrounding treated hair follicles as well as use cold compresses on them if needed; doing this helps prevent inflammation and swelling post-procedure.
Remember, multiple sessions will likely be needed before seeing complete results, as not all hair follicles are at the same stage of development. Your initial consultation will determine the number of sessions necessary.
2. Mark the Area
Laser hair removal is an efficient and painless solution for eliminating unwanted hair. It works by using a pulse of light energy to damage hair follicles, thus stopping them from growing again. Lasers can be used anywhere on your body and are safe for all skin types (even darker complexions). Furthermore, no anesthetic is needed – just mark off the area first to avoid missing any spots!
An important first step of laser hair removal sessions is marking the treatment area with white pencil. This ensures that no part of the body where skin may not be sensitive enough for laser treatment; every client may differ in terms of skin sensitivity; so it is always wiser to be safe than sorry.
Once their area has been marked, clients can begin their session. It is important to stay as comfortable as possible during this process; an operator will move a laser handpiece over the area being treated, directing its beam towards melanin in hair follicles which absorb laser energy to heat up and eventually destroy hair follicles and prevent further growth.
After several treatments, hair will gradually reduce in growth rate until eventually being eliminated entirely. Unfortunately, multiple sessions may still be required before achieving desired results; laser only treats hair follicles when they’re in their anagen phase of growth; if not attacked at this time in its cycle by laser light then no results can be achieved.
At SkinStation, the Xlase Plus laser hair removal system has proven itself safe and effective across multiple skin types. From Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI as well as tanned skin types, Xlase Plus’ cooling mechanism helps mitigate discomfort during treatments as well as minimize epidermal damage during therapy sessions.
3. Clean the Handpiece
Diode laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution to unwanted hair removal, unlike more invasive traditional methods like shaving and waxing, which can be painful and time consuming. Diode lasers target hair follicles to destroy them and thereby prevent future growth, making this option suitable for men and women of all skin types.
Before beginning laser treatments, it is crucial that both the handpiece and surrounding area are cleaned carefully to minimize potential side effects and ensure optimal laser functionality. Once this step has been taken, remove the treatment head from the machine and wipe down its surfaces with disinfectant cloth – once complete, the technician may commence their session.
During a laser hair removal treatment, a handpiece will emit pulses of laser light that are absorbed by pigment present in hair follicles and used to heat and destroy them, stopping new hair from growing back in their place. Energy density also plays an important role; higher energy densities tend to work best on thicker or darker hair types while lower energies are best for lighter or finer ones.
Before each session, the handpiece must be thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and hair residue accumulated over time. This will ensure that the laser is functioning correctly while making the procedure more comfortable for clients. In addition, changing out distilled water regularly is crucial to keep it free of bacteria and germs.
As well as cleaning the handpiece, it is also essential to use a topical anesthetic in order to relieve discomfort. These can be purchased either online or at pharmacie and should be applied 30 minutes before each treatment session for maximum effectiveness.
Clients should use both topical anesthetics and abstain from shaving or waxing for several weeks prior to their appointment with a laser hair removal procedure, in addition to not applying sun lotion or moisturizer on their treatment areas. This allows the laser to access hair follicles more efficiently without harming surrounding skin cells.
4. Prepare the Client
Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular treatment to rid oneself of unwanted body hair, as it offers safe and long-term solutions. Before embarking on any course of treatment, however, it’s crucial that one understands its process in depth.
Before beginning a procedure, it is vitally important that both client and caregiver feel at ease with the environment in which treatment will take place. It should be free from clothing or accessories. Furthermore, clients should be made aware of any possible risks or side effects.
During treatment, the handpiece will deliver energy directly into hair follicles to cause them to shut down and destroy their growth cycle. This results in permanent hair reduction and smooth skin. Unfortunately not all hair will be eliminated with one treatment alone; therefore multiple sessions will likely be required before all unwanted hair has been eliminated from your scalp.
Diode laser hair removal treatments are similar to intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies, yet safer and more effective due to using one wavelength of light that specifically targets melanin without harming other tissues in its path. Furthermore, most diode lasers come equipped with cooling technology which reduces discomfort during treatments.
Preparing clients for diode laser hair removal sessions involves cleansing and shaving the treatment area before applying a topical cooling gel, to ease any discomfort during treatment. Furthermore, it’s essential that they inform their practitioner about any medications or supplements they’re taking as these could interfere with its effectiveness.
Diode laser hair removal is an efficient and noninvasive solution, with no downtime necessary. Safe for all types of skin, diode laser treatments typically produce results within just one or two treatments and permanent results with regular treatments.
