Soft and smooth skin with minimal discomfort and recovery time.

How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?

The Diode laser emits a specific wavelength of light absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles, the pigment responsible for hair coloration. This laser energy selectively targets the hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin unscathed. Upon absorption, the laser energy converts into heat, damaging the hair follicle’s structure and impending future hair growth. The precise targeting of melanin ensures the surrounding skin remains cool and protected. Tailored treatment plans address individual needs, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the process. Our clinic adheres to strict safety protocols, prioritizing your experience.

Why Are Multiple Sessions Required?

Hair growth occurs in different stages, with the Diode laser most effective during the active growth phase (anagen). Since not all hair follicles are in this phase simultaneously, multiple sessions are necessary to effectively target them. With each session, targeted hair follicles are progressively damaged, leading to a gradual reduction in hair growth and finer, lighter hair over time. While significant reduction is achieved, periodic maintenance sessions may be required.

Indications for Laser Hair Reduction:

Beyond cosmetic purposes, laser hair reduction is beneficial for various dermatological conditions:

Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth in women, particularly in areas with minimal hair presence.
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae: Commonly known as ingrown hairs, laser treatment can alleviate discomfort and prevent future occurrences.
Hypertrichosis: Excessive hair growth where terminal hair doesn’t typically grow.
Trichostasis Spinulosa: Reduction of fine hairs within hair follicles, improving skin texture.
Pilonidal Cysts: Prevention of cyst development in the sacrococcygeal region, reducing recurrence risk.
Adjunctive Treatment: Supporting various dermatological conditions exacerbated by excessive hair growth.

Contraindications

Prior to treatment, we conduct thorough consultations to assess suitability. Contraindications include pregnancy/breastfeeding, certain photosensitive dermatological conditions, history of keloid scarring, or active infections.

Post-Procedure Instructions:

Aftercare is crucial for optimal results and minimizing complications:

Protect from sunlight and tanning beds. Avoid heat and excessive sweating. Use mild skincare products and gentle cleansing. Wear loose, breathable clothing. Refrain from other hair removal methods between sessions. Expect mild side effects like redness and swelling, which typically resolve within a few days.
