What is Diode Laser Removal?
Diode laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a diode laser to target and remove unwanted body hair. It is a popular method for achieving long-term hair reduction or removal.
What to expect?
During a diode laser hair removal procedure, individuals may experience various sensations, but these sensations are typically mild and tolerable. Here's what you may feel during the procedure:
Cooling and Numbing: Before the procedure begins, a cooling gel or numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to help minimize discomfort. You may feel a cool sensation on your skin as the gel is applied.
Pulses of Heat: As the diode laser is activated, you will likely feel pulses of heat and a mild stinging or snapping sensation. This sensation is often described as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin.
Mild Discomfort: Most people tolerate the procedure well, and the discomfort is usually mild and brief. However, the level of discomfort can vary depending on the individual's pain threshold, the area being treated, and the settings of the laser.
Results:
The results of diode laser hair removal become more evident and significant as you undergo multiple treatment sessions. Here's what you can generally expect in terms of results:
Progressive Hair Reduction: Diode laser hair removal is a gradual process. After each treatment session, you will notice a reduction in hair growth in the treated area. The laser damages the hair follicles, causing them to produce thinner, lighter, and fewer hairs over time.
Multiple Sessions: To achieve the best results, most individuals require a series of treatment sessions. The number of sessions varies depending on factors like hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Typically, you'll need between 4 to 8 sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
Long-Lasting Results: Diode laser hair removal often leads to long-lasting hair reduction or even near-permanent hair removal. Many people experience a significant reduction in hair density in the treated area, and some individuals may not need further maintenance treatments for an extended period.
Maintenance Sessions: While diode laser hair removal can provide long-term results, it's not always entirely permanent. Over time, some hair follicles may partially recover, and you may experience regrowth. To maintain the results, occasional maintenance sessions may be necessary.
Varied Results: The effectiveness of diode laser hair removal can vary from person to person. It is generally more effective on individuals with lighter skin tones and darker hair, as the laser targets the contrast between the hair and skin. People with lighter, finer hair may require more sessions to achieve desired results.
Improved Skin Texture: In addition to hair reduction, many individuals also notice an improvement in the texture and appearance of their skin in treated areas. The procedure can help reduce issues like ingrown hairs and razor bumps.
Reduced Hair Thickness: As the treatment progresses, the hair that does regrow tends to be finer and less noticeable. This can make the remaining hair easier to manage and less visible.
Signs your a candidate:
Excessive or Unwanted Hair Growth: If you have unwanted hair in areas where you prefer it to be less visible or if you find that you need to frequently shave, wax, or tweeze to manage excessive hair growth, diode laser hair removal can provide a more long-term solution.
Ingrown Hairs and Razor Bumps: If you frequently experience ingrown hairs or razor bumps after shaving or other hair removal methods, diode laser hair removal can help reduce these issues by targeting the hair follicles directly.
Skin Sensitivity: Some people have sensitive skin that becomes irritated or prone to redness and irritation after traditional hair removal methods like waxing or shaving. Diode laser hair removal can offer a gentler alternative.
Time and Convenience: Constantly shaving, waxing, or using other temporary hair removal methods can be time-consuming and inconvenient. Diode laser hair removal offers a more permanent reduction in hair growth, which can save you time in the long run.
Cosmetic Preferences: If you prefer the look and feel of smooth, hair-free skin in specific areas of your body, diode laser hair removal can help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
Cultural or Personal Reasons: Cultural or personal preferences may lead individuals to seek hair removal for various reasons. Diode laser hair removal can help you align your appearance with your personal or cultural ideals.
Avoiding Skin Irritation: For some people, traditional hair removal methods can lead to skin irritation, redness, or even allergic reactions. Diode laser hair removal is gentler on the skin and may be a better option in such cases.
Enhanced Confidence: Many people feel more confident and comfortable when they have smoother, hair-free skin in certain areas. Diode laser hair removal can boost self-esteem and body confidence.
Reducing Underarm or Bikini Line Discomfort: Hair in areas like the underarms or bikini line can trap sweat and cause discomfort, especially during hot weather. Reducing or removing this hair can alleviate these issues.
Duration:
Small Areas: 10 to 15 minutes.
Medium Areas: 20 to 30 minutes per session.
Large Areas: 30 minutes to an hour or longer per session.
Facial Areas: 15 to 30 minutes.
Multiple Areas: If you are having multiple areas treated in a single session, the total duration will be longer. The technician will need to adjust the settings and move the laser handpiece between different areas.
Interval:
Facial Hair: 4 to 6-week intervals.
Body Hair: 6 to 8 weeks.
Underarms and Bikini Line: 4 to 6-week intervals
Initial Series: In the initial phase of treatment, which usually consists of the first 4 to 6 sessions, you will have more frequent sessions to target actively growing hair. These sessions are designed to "catch" the hair in the anagen (active growth) phase.
Maintenance Sessions: After completing the initial series of sessions, maintenance sessions are scheduled less frequently, often every 2 to 3 months. These sessions help maintain the results by treating any remaining hair and targeting hair follicles that may have become active again.
Treatment Procedure: The technician will use a handheld diode laser device to target the hair in the treatment area. The laser emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. This heat energy damages the follicles and inhibits their ability to grow new hair. During the procedure, you will likely feel a series of quick pulses of heat and a mild stinging or snapping sensation on the skin as the laser is applied. The level of discomfort can vary from person to person and may depend on factors like the treatment area and your pain threshold. Depending on the area treated, the technician may make multiple passes over the treatment area to ensure that all the hair follicles are effectively treated.

Post treatment care:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and UV exposure for at least two weeks after each session. This includes both natural sunlight and tanning beds. If you must be in the sun, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and cover the treated area with clothing.
Use Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen to the treated area even when it's not exposed to direct sunlight. Sunscreen helps prevent hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) and other potential side effects. Reapply sunscreen every few hours if you're outdoors.
Avoid Hot Water: For the first 48 hours after treatment, avoid hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, and hot showers. Use lukewarm or cool water instead.
Gentle Cleansing: Clean the treated area gently with mild, fragrance-free soap and cool water. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers or exfoliants for a few days after treatment.
Avoid Tight Clothing: Try to wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing over the treated area for a day or two to prevent friction and irritation.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid activities that generate heat and sweating, such as vigorous exercise, hot yoga, or heavy workouts, for 48 hours after treatment. Excessive heat can irritate the treated skin.
No Plucking or Waxing: Do not pluck, wax, or use depilatory creams on the treated area between sessions. Shaving is generally allowed if needed, but avoid shaving the area on the day of your laser session.
Moisturize: Applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to the treated area can help keep the skin hydrated and reduce any dryness or itching. Avoid moisturizers with active ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or retinoids for a few days after treatment.
Avoid Makeup: If you had facial hair removal, avoid using makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
No Chemical Peels or Other Procedures: Refrain from undergoing chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or other skin procedures in the treated area for a couple of weeks post-treatment. Consult with your provider before scheduling any additional treatments.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated, which can aid in the healing process.
Follow-up Appointments: Adhere to your scheduled follow-up appointments according to the treatment plan recommended by your provider. Consistency in scheduling is crucial for achieving the best results.
Report Any Concerns: If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as blistering, severe pain, or skin changes, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
