Hair Removal

As with all laser hair removal methods, ours requires a series of treatments. Usually you will see results within two to three weeks after your first session. Many of our patients see a big difference after their first session with some reporting a 50% reduction in hair, but experience has taught us that they will see regrowth.

Optimal results are observed after six to eight sessions. By then, you should see an 80-90 percent reduction in hair growth. The follicles that remain are damaged and produce a finer hair than you had before laser treatment. You can expect to shave much less than you do now. Some of our patients shave once a week, some once a month; some don’t have to shave at all.

The number of sessions will vary depending on your hair color, hair type, body area, and skin tone. Although, we do recommend 8 treatments for optimal reduction. You will have to come in for touch ups following hair removal due to changes in hormones, and fluctuations in hair growth.

Lighter hair is very difficult for the laser to treat because the pigment in the hair is what attracts the laser beam in order to destroy the hair growth. Dark hair is the easiest to treat, and would love to see you for a free consultation to let you know if you are a good candidate. We can treat all skin types.

DiolazeXL can be safely used on most areas of the body that have unwanted hair. Most commonly treated areas include: bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.

The Diolaze system is unique in that it combines power, speed and cooling to provide a fast, effective and comfortable laser hair removal experience. With the Diolaze system, the laser head is designed to provide pre, during and post treatment cooling to the skin to provide a comfortable treatment.

Diolaze is the FIRST high speed diode hair removal system to deliver uncompromised power and pulsing to tissue with high speed in the same session. Diode scanning technology and built in safeguards provide a unique combination of high tech sophistication with speed, efficacy and safety.

Immediately after treatment, you can resume normal activities like applying makeup and returning to social activities.

Waxing and tweezing must be avoided. Shaving is permitted and required at least 24 hours prior to treatment. You can shave between treatments.

We screen all of our patients to be certain they are not taking Accutane, or have any other contraindications to laser therapy. Typically, medications that cause light sensitivity are okay to use with the treatment, but be sure to report all medications and supplements to your provider.

We do not treat pregnant patients. Should you become pregnant during laser hair removal sessions, we simply finish your package after you deliver. We do, however, treat nursing women.
