Achieve smooth, hair-free skin with laser hair removal at SpaSurgica. Using Diolaze by InMode, we target unwanted hair on areas like the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, and back. This safe, effective treatment leaves you with silky smooth skin within a few simple sessions.
Overview
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The Diolaze laser emits a wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft. This light converts to heat, damaging the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, the damaged follicle loses its ability to produce new hair, leading to permanent hair reduction. Diolaze by InMode penetrates deeper than traditional lasers, making it highly effective for larger treatment areas.
Indications for Laser Hair Removal:
- Unwanted hair on the face, legs, underarms, back, chest, or bikini area
- Dark, coarse hair that contrasts with skin tones
- Seeking long-term reduction of hair growth
- Desire to avoid frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking
- Suffering from ingrown hairs or razor burn
- Interest in smoother skin with minimal maintenance
Procedure Details
During your laser hair removal session, your aesthetic provider will clean and prepare the treatment area. You may be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. A handheld Diolaze device is applied to your skin, emitting targeted laser energy to destroy hair follicles. You might feel a mild warming or tingling sensation as the laser works, but the cooling technology helps minimize discomfort. The procedure typically takes 15-60 minutes, depending on the area treated, and requires no downtime.
Recovery & Results
After laser hair removal, you may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. You can resume your regular activities immediately, but it’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect your skin.
Hair in the treated areas will gradually fall out over the next 1-2 weeks. Optimal results are typically achieved after 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. With each session, you’ll notice a significant reduction in hair growth, leaving your skin smoother.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients require 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions depends on your hair type, skin type, and the area being treated. Maintenance treatments may be needed once or twice a year for long-term results.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
The Diolaze laser features built-in cooling technology to minimize discomfort. You may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation, but most people find it tolerable. If you’re concerned about pain, your practitioner can adjust the settings or provide options for increased comfort.
Can I Shave Between Laser Hair Removal Sessions?
Yes, shaving is the only recommended method of hair removal between sessions. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams, as these methods remove the hair from the root, which is needed for the laser to target the follicle effectively.
Are There Any Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
Common side effects of laser hair removal include temporary redness, swelling, or minor skin irritation in the treated area. These usually resolve within a few hours. In rare cases, blistering or pigmentation changes may occur. Your provider will give post-treatment care instructions to help minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
