A diode laser emits a concentrated wavelength of infrared light that penetrates deep into the skin to target melanin in the hair follicle without harming surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed and converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles to inhibit or delay future hair growth. The diode laser has one of the largest treatment spot sizes to simultaneously target numerous hair follicles, allowing for faster and more uniform treatment

​

HOW MANY TREATMENT SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?

In a diode laser hair removal treatment, the laser light only affects actively growing hair follicles. Since hair grows in different phases over time, multiple treatments are required for desired results.

​

Each treatment course typically ranges from 6-8 sessions, but may vary by individual, as well as type and density of hair. Most individuals notice a significant reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions. Please consult with your aesthetic provider for optimal results.
