Hair removal has become a popular and often necessary part of personal grooming for both men and women. There are many methods of hair removal available today, ranging from temporary solutions like shaving and waxing to more permanent options like laser hair removal. At Sheen Clinic, we use FDA-approved diode laser technology for hair removal, a safe and effective method that provides long-lasting results.
How does it work?
The diode laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles. The heat generated by the light damages the hair follicles, which inhibits future hair growth. The laser targets hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This makes diode laser hair removal a safe and painless treatment.
What are the benefits of diode lasers?
The diode laser is one of the most effective methods for hair removal. Diode lasers are more precise, penetrate deeper into the skin, and can target multiple hair follicles simultaneously. This results in faster treatment times, fewer sessions required, and more permanent hair reduction. Additionally, diode laser hair removal is safe and can be used on most skin types and hair colours.
How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions required to achieve permanent results depends on several factors, including the area being treated, the thickness of the hair, and the colour of the hair. Typically, patients require between 6 and 8 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, some patients may require more or fewer sessions, and maintenance treatments may be necessary in the future.
What to expect during the procedure?
The procedure typically takes between 15 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the treatment area. The trained professional will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. The laser will be used to target the hair follicles. Most patients describe the sensation as feeling like a rubber band snapping against their skin.
What to expect after the procedure?
Following the procedure, you may experience redness or mild swelling in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. It is important to avoid sun exposure and to use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the treated area.
In conclusion, diode laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for achieving hair-free skin. If you are interested in diode laser hair removal, schedule a consultation with a qualified provider to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. With its superior technology, diode laser hair removal provides faster, more permanent results than other hair removal methods.
