Today, laser hair removal is the fastest-growing procedure in modern cosmetic dermatology. For men and women, lasers have become a popular solution for excessive hair, generally on the face, legs, bikini (for women) and neck, back and chest (for men). Both women and men will appreciate the diode laser's ability to remove even the coarsest hair from relatively large body areas. Diode laser hair removal is a non-invasive and effective approach which yields permanent hair reduction and long-term hair removal - anywhere on the face or body.
HOW DOES DIODE LASER TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Diode lasers are the most effective of all laser wavelengths for hair removal. The laser eliminates unwanted hair by emitting a beam of light on to skin. Passing harmlessly through the skin, the light targets the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle and hair shaft. As the follicles absorb this laser energy, they are disabled, and unable to produce new hair. The result: lasting hair removal with no downtime.

IS IT SAFE?
Diode laser parameters are specially designed to match your skin type and hair type, assuring exceptionally exact and gentle treatments. Immediately after treatment, the area may appear and feel mildly sunburned, a reaction that usually subsides within a day or so.
DOES IT HURT?
While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate laser treatments well, and describe the sensation as a rubber band snap to the skin. The majority of patients require no anesthesia, though topical anesthetic is an option if needed.
HOW LONG DOES A LASER TREATMENT TAKE?
While this laser is able to cover relatively large areas at high speed, the exact treatment time is determined by the size of the area being treated. The eyebrow area may take only a few minutes; the back may require up to an hour.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY?
All hair follicles go through periods of dormancy and growth. As laser light only affects hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment, resting follicles must enter the growth phase before they can be effectively treated. For this reason, treatment must be repeated until all follicles have passed through the growing phase. It has been our experience that six or more treatments are needed at intervals of one month to three months.
