Laser Hair Removal
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Eau Claire and Wisconsin
Diolaze is a type of advanced laser hair removal system that utilizes diode laser technology to effectively and safely remove unwanted hair. Diolaze uses a high-powered diode laser to target and heat the hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth. This laser technology is known for its precision in selectively targeting dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
The diode laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve significant hair reduction, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen phase) of hair growth.
Diolaze Benefits
Speed: Diolaze is known for its larger spot size and high repetition rate, allowing for quicker treatment sessions compared to other laser hair removal methods.
Precision: It selectively targets hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin, minimizing the risk of skin damage.
Effectiveness: Diolaze is effective on a wide range of skin types and hair colors, though it is most effective on darker, coarser hair due to the higher concentration of melanin.
Before the treatment, the area to be treated is usually shaved to ensure the laser energy targets the hair follicles beneath the skin. A cooling gel or device may be used to protect the skin and enhance comfort during the procedure. The Diolaze handpiece is then moved over the treatment area, emitting pulses of laser light. Patients may feel a mild sensation of heat or slight discomfort during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Recovery and Results
Patients often notice a reduction in hair growth after the first session, with optimal results typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. There is minimal downtime associated with Diolaze treatments. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area immediately after treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Overall, Diolaze offers an effective and relatively comfortable option for laser hair removal, providing long-lasting results by targeting hair follicles at the root.
