What is Diode Laser Hair Removal?

During diode laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to each individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth. Lasers offer more precision, speed, and lasting results compared with other methods of hair removal. Permanent hair reduction is typically achieved in 4 to 6 sessions depending on individual factors, including color, texture, hormones, hair distribution, and hair growth cycle.

Benefits of Diode Laser Hair Removal

Effectiveness
Compared to IPL and other treatments, laser has better penetration and effective damage to the hair follicles. With just a few treatments customers see results that will last for years.
Painless
Diode laser hair removal can also give a certain degree of discomfort, but the process is painless compared to IPL. It offers integrated skin cooling during treatments which greatly reduces any “pain” felt by the customer.s.
Less Sessions
Lasers can deliver results much faster, which is why it requires less sessions, and it also offers a higher level of satisfaction among patients…
No Downtime
Unlike IPL, diode laser’s wavelength is much more precise, which makes the epidermis less affected. Skin irritation like redness and swelling rarely happen after laser hair removal treatment.

How many treatments will customer need?

Hair grows in cycles and laser can treat hairs in the “Anagen” or active growth stage. Since approximately 20% of hairs are in the appropriate Anagen stage at any one time, at least 5 effective treatments are necessary to disable most of the follicles in a given area. Most people require 8 sessions, but more may be required for the face, those with darker skin or hormonal conditions, those with certain syndromes, and for those that have waxed for many years or had IPL in the past (both affect follicle health and growth cycles).
The hair growth cycle will slow throughout the laser course as there is less blood flow and nourishment to the hair site. The growth may slow to months or even years before new hairs show up. This is why maintenance is required after the initial course. All treatment results are individual.
