How Laser Hair Removal Works
A diode laser beam is lubricated and cooled and then applied to the area of skin being treated. The laser beam targets hair follicles that are darker in pigmentation than your skin tone, preventing future hair growth. Only hairs in a certain phase of growth are targeted, so multiple treatments are necessary for permanent results.
Diolaze Hair Removal
The DiolazeXL laser for hair removal combines peak power and a large spot size. Patients will need fewer and shorter treatment sessions to achieve permanent hair reduction. Each treatment protocol differs slightly depending on hair color, type, body area, and skin tone.
What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is safe and effective and can be used on almost any part of the body that grows hair. The most common places to treat are the neck, chin, hairline (sideburns), legs, arms, chest, back, bikini, shoulders and stomach. Laser hair removal is not used for removal of eyebrow hair or around the eyes due potential risk of injury to the eyes.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Precision: Lasers can target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
- Speed: Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second, treating many hairs at once. The upper lip, for example, can be treated in under 60 seconds.
- Long-lasting: Most people will experience permanent hair loss after completing an average of nine sessions.
- Less painful: Diolaze hair removal is less painful than other methods of hair removal, including waxing and epilators.
- Prevents in-grown hairs: Shaving and waxing can both leave you prone to developing painful, stubborn in-grown hairs. By destroying the hair root, Diolaze hair removal will prevent in-growns from occurring.
- Avoid the inconvenience of hair regrowth: In between shaving and waxing sessions, you likely endure quite a bit of regrowth before you can shave or wax again. With laser hair removal, this problem vanishes, and you will simply enjoy smooth, hair-free skin.
How to Prepare for your Appointment
To get the best results from your laser hair removal treatments, you will want to prepare your skin before your appointment.
You will need to stop plucking, waxing, and using electrolysis for six weeks before your laser hair removal appointment. These treatments temporarily remove the hairs’ roots which are necessary for hair removal to work properly.
Avoid tanning before your procedure. Laser hair removal works in part by detecting dark pigments in your hair follicles. Tanning causes your skin to become darkly pigmented and makes it hard for the laser to distinguish hair follicles from the surrounding skin.
Avoid direct sun exposure for six weeks before (and after) your treatment. Sun exposure not only will tan your skin, but can also lead to complications during the healing process.
Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Before the procedure begins, the hair being treated will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin’s surface. A topical numbing agent will be applied 20 to 30 minutes before the procedure to help soothe the laser’s heat. The DiolazeXL laser is adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of the hair being treated.
Results
For one to two days following treatment, the treated area of skin will feel slightly sunburned. Makeup is fine as long as your skin is not irritated by it. A cool compress or moisturizer may help soothe irritated skin. Over 30 days following treatment, you’ll notice the hair in the affected area falling out. During this time, please wear sunscreen to prevent temporary changes in the skin color of the treated area.

DiolazeXL, like all laser hair removal procedures, necessitates a number of treatments. Hair removal is most successful when the follicles are in a certain phase. And because each of our hairs are in a different phase of growth, it takes time and repetition to catch every follicle in an opportunistic phase for permanent hair removal.
