Although there are many temporary treatments, including tweezing, shaving, using depilatory creams and waxing, to remove unwanted hair, patients seeking more permanent and less irritating/painful methods are frequently good candidates for laser hair removal.

What Can I Expect During A Diolaze Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Consultation

A thorough consultation is one of the most critical parts to successful laser hair removal treatment. Your laser specialist will discuss your concerns as well as your medical history to determine if you are truly a candidate. Because the laser beams used to remove hair target its melanin (pigment), the best candidates have dark hair and light skin. Conversely, those with blond, red, gray or white hair and dark skin are usually not good candidates. Recent technological advances have made laser hair removal for those with dark skin more successful, while techniques for using lasers to effectively remove light-colored hair are being investigated.

Pre-Procedure

Laser hair removal is performed while the target area is numbed by a topical anesthetic. We will cleanse the area with topical sanitizers. The laser specialist will provide protective eyewear and apply ultrasound gel to the treated area.

Treatment

The Diolaze machine is placed on the settings that best suit the patient's skin and hair type among the factors considered are the areas being treated. A handheld device that emits intense laser pulses is moved across the area, focusing on individual hair follicles.

Hair growth takes place cyclically, in three stages. The most effective laser hair removal takes place during the andogen (full-growth) stage, because the hair follicles in this stage are susceptible to laser energy. But, because all hair is not in the same stage of growth at any given time, several laser treatments, usually between three and five, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, are necessary. To some extent, the length of treatment depends on the texture of the patient's hair, and the location from which it is being removed.

What Can I Expect After Laser Hair Removal with Diolaze?

Results

The process begins to work immediately. You should be able see some reduction in hair after two to three weeks of your first session. Multiple sessions will be required to achieve your optimal outcome. Typically 4-6 sessions are needed with maintenance 6 months to 12 months later. Hair growth can sometime be affected by changes in hormones which can also affect your results. You laser specialist will discuss this with you during the consultation.

Risks

The most common complication of laser hair removal is the regrowth of the unwanted hair. Frequently, however, the hair that regrows is finer and lighter than the hair that was removed. Usually, regrowth can be addressed with a few additional treatment sessions. Other complications that may arise after laser hair treatment include skin irritation such as blistering and crusting; changes in pigmentation or texture of the skin; and scarring at the removal site.

Aftercare

Some redness, soreness or swelling may occur immediately after laser hair removal, but they almost always disappear within a few days. Cold compresses or ice packs, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams may minimize discomfort. Sun exposure should be avoided as much as possible for some period of time.
