Diode Laser Hair Removal
A single wavelength of light that has a high abruption rate in melanin is used by diode lasers. As the melanin warms up, it kills the follicle’s root and cuts off the blood supply, permanently impairing hair growth. Refrigeration contact cooling is a feature of high-quality laser hair removal devices that shield the skin’s surface and give patients a pain-free, relaxing experience during the procedure. All skin types can safely be exposed to the high frequency, low fluence pulses delivered by diode laser. Delivering high energy into the skin so that it is specifically absorbed by the melanin around the hair follicle while protecting the surrounding tissue is the secret to effective laser hair removal. Diode lasers emit light at a single wavelength that is highly absorbed by melanin. It also contains skin cooling to safeguard the skin’s surface. As the melanin warms up, it kills the follicle’s root and blood supply, rendering the hair permanently inoperable. All skin types can be safely treated using diode lasers that can deliver high-frequency,
low fluence pulses.
FAQ
Unwanted hair is the leading cause of cosmetic distress in the US, whether it be on the upper lip, hands, feet, bikini area, back, legs, or arms. Many people are sick of having to regularly remove unwelcome hair using time-consuming and uncomfortable techniques like shaving, waxing and tweezing.The need for permanent hair reduction using light has increased as a result.
Women and men alike. Most women seek to remove hair from their underarms, bikini lines, and legs, while men are more interested in treating hair on their backs and necks. When hair removal lasers were initially introduced, the procedure was originally intended for patients with light skin and dark hairs. However, newer technologies, like Astanza systems, safely and effectively treat patients of all skin types and hair colours.
During treatment, a light-based system emits bright flashes of light into the skin where the unwanted hair resides. The hair follicles absorb the light energy, eat up, and become damaged. Each pulse of light energy takes a matter of seconds and treats multiple hairs at once, making this procedure very quick and easy to perform. Treatments can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Astanza hair removal systems feature larger treatment heads for faster treatment sessions. Because hair grows in different stages, multiple treatments are needed to target the hair
follicles during their growth phase. Most patients need at least 4 to 6 treatments to see permanent, long-lasting results. Touch-ups may be required over time. Patients should see results after the first treatment – their hairs will grow back
finer and weaker and the skin will become smoother. Results will become more noticeable and impressive with each additional treatment until all follicles are destroyed, successfully stopping continuous hair growth.
Most patients require 5 to 8 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve desired results. With Astanza technology, virtually every patient – no matter their skin or hair type – can receive long-lasting removal results for unwanted hair. Patients with lighter hair may require more treatments than others, but will still see effective results by the end of their treatments. Most patients need 6 to 12 treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction results. Treatments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to target follicles during the growth stage. Regardless of the technology being used, patients will experience results at different rates, depending on their skin type and hair colour.
