If you always wanted to have your hair removed permanently but never dared doing so because of fear of pain, then you may be happy to know that there is now a new generation of diode lasers. They represent the gold standard for laser hair removal and deliver a pain free and effective hair removal treatment that is safe for all skin types.
Other lasers used to work with the standard pulse method of treatment. However, the diode lasers use a modern in-motion technology which results in a continuous sweeping motion. During the treatment, a high energy light beam goes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. Instead of going into the skin as a painful blast, the laser energy just heats the hair follicles in a safe and gentle way, until the follicles gradually produce little or no hair.
Is laser hair removal with diode lasers safe?
The removal of hair by lasers has been recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an effective and safe treatment. As the laser only destroys the ability for hair to grow and does not effect the surrounding skin tissues, it is generally deemed a very safe and popular way for removing hair.
How often do I need to repeat the procedure?
The number of treatments depends on the individual as hairs grows differently depending on your age, metabolism, hormones weight and several other factors. But as a guide about 4-6 treatments are required to achieve a permanent reduction of hair growth.
Several sessions are needed as the hair may be in a different growth stage. In the active growth stage (85% of your hair), which can last several years, the hair grows steadily and the contains melanin. When melanin is exposed to the laser, the hair follicle is destroyed which makes this hair growth stage ideal for hair removal. However, after the growth stage there is the regression stage (3-4%) during which the hair stops growing, and the resting stage (10-13%) where the hair is getting ready to be replaced before falling out. During these 2 latter stages there is hardly any melanin present and therefore the hair will be difficult to remove through laser treatment. As the hair in the treated areas may be in different stages it is necessary to repeat the treatment various times.
What part of the body can be treated?
Hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body. However, most people use this treatment for their legs, underarms, arms and the upper lip area.
Exactly which laser is used?
The diode laser that we recommend is the Soprano XL which uses the IN-MotionT technology that treats in a continuous sweeping motion. No more pain from pulsed movements and a relaxing, effective treatment that some people even compare to a hot stone massage!
