Diode Laser Hair Removal

Diode laser is an innovative laser treatment for hair removal. This long-term hair reduction laser procedure uses a narrow focus light beam to remove unwanted hair faster and with lesser discomfort.

Diode lasers can penetrate very deep into the skin levels. Hence, they produce effective and comfortable laser hair removal after-treatment outcomes. 

This advanced laser treatment prevents future hair growth once it targets the hair follicle. A hair follicle is a part of the skin that supports hair growth on the skin.

A clinician or dermatologist will press a hand-held Diode laser device on your skin. A cooling section on the tip of the device or a cool gel can be used to protect your skin and reduces the risk of side effects. (Even for the most sensitive skin.)

This cooling process improves the patient’s comfort level significantly. When the long-term hair reduction laser works on the targeted areas’ hair follicles, you’ll experience a tingling sensation. 

However, you can also request a numbing cream first. After the procedure, you can apply a soothing lotion or an ice pack to cool the treated skin area.

The following is how the long-term hair reduction laser procedure goes. The laser beam will penetrate your skin to the hair follicles when the doctor turns on the laser. The high-energy laser light removes hair follicles by targeting the melanin in the follicle. Melanin is the pigment that provides hair with its color. 

The melanin surrounding the hair follicle selectively absorbs the energy while unaffecting the neighboring tissue. The blood supply to the hair follicle is destroyed as the melanin heats up.

The presence of melanin allows the laser to precisely aim, heat, and damage the hair follicle.
This process will disable the hair growth.

A small area like the upper lip might take only a few minutes to treat. Treating a larger area, such as the back might take more than an hour.

his type of laser treatment is useful for removing unwanted hair faster with the least pain on the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, etc.

Benefits of this long-term hair reduction laser technique include:

• Precision
  • Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs. Meanwhile, they leave the surrounding skin undamaged.
• Speed
  • The laser pulses are delivered one after another in a nanosecond. The pulse can treat many hairs at the same time. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than 1 minute. Bigger areas, like the back or legs, could take up to 1 hour.
• Predictability
  • Most patients have long-term hair reduction after an average of 3 – 7 sessions.

You can undergo laser hair removal on any area of your body. Words of caution, though. The eye area is excluded from any laser treatment. 

The five most typical areas where people remove their unwanted hair are the face (chin, cheeks, lip), chest, back, underarms, legs, and the bikini area.

For men specifically, this laser hair removal for guys for guys can help “clean up” the back of their necks to provide a clean-shaven look. Ladies-wise, this method of armpit hair laser treatment works well for them too.

Laser hair removal carries its potential risks. Before deciding to go for any laser hair removal procedure, you should thoroughly check the doctor or clinician’s credentials first.

Some precautions to safeguard yourself before going for the long-term hair reduction laser treatment:

• Limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis

Limit those activities for 6 weeks before treatment. It’s to enable the laser to focus on the hair roots that waxing or plucking have temporarily removed.

• Avoid sun exposure

Prevent yourself from sunlight exposure for 6 weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and creates a higher chance of complications after treatment.

All skin types can safely be exposed to the high frequency, low fluence pulses delivered by diode lasers. The risk of side effects is extremely low if this long-term hair reduction laser treatment is done properly. 

Only a qualified, licensed practitioner knows how to adjust the laser settings to suit your skin complexion and the treatment area. 

There may be slight redness on the treated site but this shouldn’t progress to swelling. Blistering might occur with those with a darker complexion. Permanent scarring or changes in skin color are rare.

There’s no post-treatment downtime for this long-term hair reduction laser, and you can resume your daily routines immediately. The treated area of your skin will look and feel like it’s sunburned for 1-2 days. Cool compresses and moisturizers may help.

Over the next month, your treated hair will fall out. Wear sunscreen (if applicable) for the following month to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin.
