10 Questions about Diode Laser

  1. Why choose Diode Laser hair removal?

Diode laser is the most effective method when it comes to hair removal. It is fast, painless and on top of all safe, unlike Alexandrite or other monochromatic lasers. Its laser beam acts selectively on the hair’s regenerating cells, something that makes it safe for the skin. Diode laser cannot harm the skin, does not have side effects and can be operated on every part of the human body.

It is the ideal hair removal method for every skin type (I-V Fitzpatrick), even for tanned complexions and offers permanent results.

  1. How does it work?

Diode laser emits monochromatic laser beams which are absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles, resulting to their slow, but total destruction.

  1. Will it hurt?

The session is painless due to its ice – cold, sapphire tip that comes in contact with the body. It is laid upon the skin and offers an experience with almost zero pain. During the session, you may notice slight erythemas that subside almost immediately.

  1. Is Diode Laser unsafe?

No. Diode laser hair removal is not at all dangerous, since it targets only at the nucleus’ melanin and is not able to penetrate the rest of the body or other organs.

  1. Which body parts are curable?

Diode laser can target every part of the body that has unwanted hair growth, both on women and on men. The result and number of sessions depend on several factors.

  1. How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the hair color and thickness, the part of the body, the hormone levels etc, but on average is 8. Nevertheless, when it comes to the face area, since it’s often affected by hormones, we cannot set an exact number.

  1. How often are the sessions?

The appointments are once a month. So, Diode Laser does not need a repeat session because it covers 100% of the treatment area.

  1. Are there any side effects?

In some cases we notice a small rush, or an edema (lump) around some hairs.

  1. Is it safe during pregnancy?

Laser use during pregnancy is only permitted with the agreement of your gynecologist.

  1. Can I undergo a laser treatment during the summer?

The Diode Laser is the only safe option for hair removal in the summer season or for darker complexions.
