Diode Laser Hair Removal

Diode laser

Diode laser eliminates unwanted hair by emitting beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair i.e melanin. The energy of the laser is concentrated in the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without affecting the surrounding skin. Diode laser is the most effective of all laser wavelengths for hair reduction. Diode laser can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, neck, arms, underarms, abdomen, back and legs. Diode laser can also treat sensitive areas like chest and bikini lines.

A diode laser uses semiconductor technology that produces coherent projection of light in the visible to infrared range. It uses a light beam with a narrow spectrum to target specific chromophores in the skin. Compared to other laser systems such as the Ruby and Alexandrite, the 800nm diode laser wavelength offers the deepest penetration levels and superior melanin absorption. These unique characteristics make the diode laser the most suitable technology for laser hair removal, enabling safe and effective treatment of all skin and hair types, in all body areas.

There may be some adverse pigment effects, but these are transient. The Diode laser is the best overall laser for all six skin types based on long term use and safety and is especially effective in people with skin types 1 to 4.

How Does A Diode Laser Work?

Diode lasers use the principle of selective photothermolysis (abbreviated SPTL) to target specific chromophores in the skin, usually melanin or blood. The lasers damage the chromophores by selectively heating them while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. When treating unwanted hair, for example, the melanin in the hair follicles is targeted and damaged which results in the disruption of hair growth and regeneration. A diode laser can be complemented by cooling technology, or other pain reducing methods which improve treatment efficacy and patient comfort.

  • Laser energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle and converted to heat, diffusing to and injuring stem cells in bulb and bulge.
  • Most hair is permanently removed.
  • Hair that does regrow is finer and lighter than before.

Advantages of Diode laser

  • The Diode laser features a longer wavelength and thus able to provide better results among dark-skinned people.
  • This laser provides safer and deeper penetration into the skin layer.
  • Large areas of the body tend to recover faster.
  • Rotatable 10 inch color touch screen makes convenient operation.
  • Combined with Bi-polar RF, enhancing much better results.
  • High level generator ensures powerful energy and longer working time.
  • Fast treatment: adopt specific wavelength 808 mm. Each pulse reaches deeper skin.
  • The speed of large area hair removal significantly increases;
Procedure
  • Area cooled before, during and after.
  • Fluence carefully selected and increased to levels short of epidermal injury.
  • Immediate effect- vaporization of the hair shaft.
  • Later – perifollicular erythema and edema.
