Is diode laser hair removal effective?: we tell you everything

Diode laser technology has the main advantage of guaranteeing effective and, above all, long-lasting results on all skin tones. Today, we are going to introduce you to diode laser technology and how it can meet your needs.

What is the best solution for permanent hair removal: diode laser or alexandrite? Can you get the desired results with diode? We answer it without further ado.

What is diode laser technology?

The diode laser has a wavelength of 810nm that allows you to get rid of hair permanently and almost definitively on all skin types. It is both effective and safe for the skin. And it is especially for its speed and versatility that it is very successful, both in terms of performance and results.

As for the price of diode laser hair removal, it mainly depends on the area to be treated and the number of sessions required.

Is diode laser hair removal effective?

Diode laser technology is currently considered one of the best and latest laser hair removal technologies available. Painless and highly precise, the diode laser beam effectively targets the hair follicle, without harming the surrounding tissues.

In addition, the latest generation diode laser poses no health risks. And beyond its reliability, it is also fast – the results are visible after the first three sessions! It can also be used on the entire body, on both small and large areas, in record time.

Although the effectiveness of permanent laser hair removal depends mainly on the quality of the technology used and the know-how of the practitioner, the person undergoing the treatment must follow the therapist's recommendations to further optimize the results!

Diode or alexandrite laser?

The effectiveness of these two technologies depends on the wavelength used:

• The alexandrite laser has a wavelength of 755 nm. It works especially well on light skin and dark hair.
• The diode laser, as mentioned above, is very efficient, fast and accurate. It has a wavelength of 810 nm and a deep penetration capability.

So, we can say that these technologies are both ultra-efficient, but according to Anses, the percentage of efficiency of the diode laser on hair is higher compared to other technologies:

Diode laser hair removal: pain

The diode laser features a high-performance cooling system to control the temperature of the machine to alleviate discomfort and ensure a pleasant, pain-free treatment.

Thanks to its cooling action, the person undergoing diode laser hair removal only feels a slight sensation of heat and tingling.

To get an idea of ​​what you can expect with the diode laser, our lovely host, Tanit, shared with us her testimony about her experience with the diode laser technology used at SSSKIN and her impressions of the pain and the results obtained in just a few sessions!

The free consultation session allowed me to put aside my fears about the laser, especially regarding the pain by testing the device on a small area. There is hardly any pain and the result on the armpits is incredible after only 2 sessions - Tanit

Side effects and risks of permanent hair removal with diode laser

The diode laser emits a very selective beam that only acts on the hair follicle. The minor side effects that permanent diode laser hair removal may have are therefore not aggressive and do not destroy the structure of the skin. It does not cause burns, blisters, hyperpigmentation, scars or other side effects, apart from some redness and swelling that disappear within hours of your treatment.

How many diode laser hair removal sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies depending on the skin type and the area of ​​the body to be treated.

For Laser hair removal of the bikini line , armpits and face, these are hormone-dependent areas and it takes more time to treat them. As for other areas, it generally takes more than 5 sessions to obtain satisfactory results.

In the case of people suffering from hormonal diseases, such as PCOS, it may be necessary to do more sessions. You can discuss this with your therapist during the free consultation session. So don't worry!

You will also need to do touch-ups once or twice a year to maintain your results.
