LASER EPILATION BY DIODE LASER

Due to the strong heating of melanin (the dark pigment located in the hair and hair follicle), a diode laser destroys it, so that the hair does not grow further. During the destruction of the hair follicle, the hair follicle is heated, which lasts a split second, so the surrounding tissues and skin do not have time to warm up.

All along with laser hair removal procedures using a diode laser, it is recommended to shave the areas where the procedure is performed and it is forbidden to remove hair by any other methods that injure the bulb, such as wax depilation, electric depilation, plucking hair, sugaring, and other methods. If you do not follow this recommendation, then the effectiveness of laser hair removal will be reduced and you may not see the result at all when undergoing procedures on either the legs or the face.

There may be a sensation of warmth or tingling sensation during hair removal. If you have sensitive skin, there may be slight redness in the area of hair removal that lasts for several hours, so it is recommended to well moisturize the skin.

The procedure of laser hair removal can last from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours, it depends on where the procedure will be performed (upper lip, armpits, bikini, legs). The laser has a skin cooling system, so in most cases, additional pain relief is not required.

If you have an increased sensitivity of the skin, you can perform additional anesthesia with an anesthetic cream though it must be applied on the skin 20-30 minutes before the procedure, thus the duration of the procedure will increase.
