Diode laser hair removal is the safest and most efficient solution for removing unwanted hair. Utilizing selective photothermolysis, diode lasers target melanin in hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin undamaged.
Laser hair removal is less painful than shaving or waxing and suitable for all skin types; furthermore, this method causes less ingrown hairs than traditional methods of hair removal.
Cost
Laser hair removal is an effective solution to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth. The procedure is non-invasive and minimally invasive, and can be performed anywhere on the body. A handheld device uses rapid pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting melanin pigment in hair follicles so they absorb energy, damaging them enough that future production ceases. Laser hair removal offers an ideal alternative for people tired of shaving and waxing their body hair every few days or so.
Pulsating laser energy can also be used to treat other skin concerns, including redness, discoloration and sun damage. With this type of technology it’s also possible to target specific areas on the face, neck, back, arms legs and chest; in some instances multiple sessions may be required before seeing results.
Before considering laser hair removal, it’s essential to understand how the process works. Like all types of hair, your own has four phases of development: anagen (growing), telogen (transitional) and catagen (resting). Anagen is when thick strands appear; therefore it is ideal to treat thick anagen hairs using laser technology as this is when melanin concentration in follicles will be greater.
Diode lasers offer an extraordinary advantage: their precision allows them to target melanin concentration in hair follicles more precisely than IPL does, which relies on broad spectrum wavelengths which result in less selective absorption by hair follicles and greater skin damage; by contrast, MeDioStar diode laser offers more selective melanin targeting and is safer for all skin tones and hair colors.
No matter which laser hair removal treatment option you select – be it IPL or diode laser – multiple sessions may be needed in order to see optimal results. Hair grows in cycles and only those follicles in their anagen phase can be targeted with laser therapy; once treatment sessions have taken place you should notice less hair returning over time.
At times during treatment, you may feel a slight tingling sensation as the laser targets unwanted hair follicles with light energy that has been converted to heat by our Alexandrite and Nd: Yag diode lasers. Our cooling technology helps reduce discomfort.
Pain
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive and minimally-invasive treatment option suitable for facial, arm, leg and other body areas. The procedure works by targeting and destroying individual hair follicles to stop them from producing unwanted hair growth. Laser pulses of light energy penetrate deep into skin layer to target pigmentation such as melanin which gives hair its color; melanin absorbs light energy then heats up, damaging follicles by inhibiting their ability to grow hair further – often with accompanying cooling technologies to ease discomfort during treatment sessions.
Diode laser hair removal treatments are among the most efficient and comfortable available, providing faster sessions and reduced side-effects compared to older Nd:YAG technologies. Furthermore, its shorter wavelength makes it more suitable for darker skin tones.
Diode laser treatments utilize rapid pulses of light that are directed at specific areas. Each pulse only lasts a fraction of a second and treats multiple hairs at once. Small areas can typically be treated within minutes while larger ones, like back or legs may take up to an hour – however the cooling system helps mitigate any sharp sensation caused by each pulse.
Keep in mind that laser hair removal may be permanent, but it requires multiple sessions before full results can be seen. Although results vary based on body part and individual circumstances, most patients report seeing permanent reduction in hair growth after 8 to 10 sessions have taken place. To determine exactly how many sessions will be necessary for you, schedule a consultation session with one of our highly experienced technicians.
Before your initial diode laser hair removal appointment, it is advisable to forgo using any sunless skin creams and any traditional hair removal methods, like plucking or waxing, in order to prepare the skin for this process. Shaving should also be postponed until after your appointment has taken place.
Safety
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment option for eliminating unwanted body hair. Utilizing laser light energy, pigment cells are targeted and destroyed, thus stopping future growth of body hair follicles from emerging – leaving skin smooth and beautiful! Laser treatment should not be confused with waxing and tweezing which require multiple sessions each time you visit for optimal results; laser requires multiple sessions as it targets hair follicles during their growing stage; depending on which area of your body this occurs in, additional sessions may be necessary to reach optimal results.
Laser treatment works by targeting melanin in your hair follicles. Melanin absorbs laser light and heats it, disabling follicles to produce new hair growth – without pain! Furthermore, unlike shaving or tweezing it doesn’t cause lasting side effects like burns or ingrown hairs – which may happen otherwise.
Your dermatologist will use a cooling device during treatment to keep your skin comfortable, so it is essential to abide by pre and post treatment instructions to reduce risks of complications and make a successful outcome more likely. These instructions may include refraining from makeup use, deodorant usage and sprays before and after your appointment; sun exposure must also be avoided several days beforehand and for at least four to six weeks post appointment before attending another session.
Diode laser hair removal is one of the safest and most effective techniques available for eliminating excess hair. It works on all skin types – including dark and tanned complexions – unlike IPL laser hair removal, which only penetrates superficial layers of the skin, it penetrates deeper to reach larger areas with excess hair growth.
Diode laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions to achieve 70-90% hair reduction, lasting about an hour for each visit. This method works best when hairs are still in their early growth stage (anagen) since they’re easier to pull out at this time.
Side Effects
Diode laser hair removal is an efficient and safe solution for permanently eliminating unwanted hair growth. Unlike waxing or shaving, diode laser hair removal is noninvasive and painless; you can immediately resume normal activities after your session is completed. Sit comfortably on a chair as pulses of laser energy emit from a handheld device to penetrate your skin and heat hair follicle pigment until they heat it to temperatures sufficient to destroy it – disabling future production and leaving behind no trace.
Before beginning laser hair removal, it’s essential to refrain from any other methods of hair removal in the weeks prior to your first session. Furthermore, it is advised that sun exposure be limited while using an effective moisturizer on the area being treated.
Your discomfort during laser treatment should be minimal. Before beginning, your therapist will apply topical numbing cream; once laser penetrates skin surface you may feel slight tingling sensation and even some patients report cooling sensation.
Diode lasers offer the highest level of comfort during treatment sessions. Their smaller spot size and higher fluence (energy density) make them particularly suitable for darker, thicker hair with shorter treatment sessions and superior results than IPL technology.
IPL (intense pulsed light) provides more wavelength options than diode lasers, leading to unfocused energy being applied on your skin surface and more side effects being experienced than with its counterparts. On the upside, though, this method is often cheaper and better at treating more sensitive parts of the body.
