5 things I wish everyone knew BEFORE starting laser hair removal 👀⚡️

Diolaze delivers incredible long-term hair reduction, but getting the best results requires a little commitment on your end!

1️⃣ Shaving ONLY. No waxing or plucking! 🪒

Laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. Waxing and plucking remove the hair from the follicle, leaving nothing for our laser to target. Shaving keeps the follicle intact, making it your ONLY hair removal option between treatments.

2️⃣ No tanning — including self-tanner! ☀️

Laser targets pigment, and recently tanned skin increases your risk of burns and pigmentation changes. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner before your appointments, following your provider’s pre-treatment instructions. Your skin needs to be back to its natural, untanned colour before treatment.

3️⃣ You NEED multiple sessions.

Hair grows in cycles, and laser is most effective during the active growth phase. Since not every hair is in that phase at once, multiple treatments are necessary. We typically recommend 6–8 sessions, although some clients require more.

4️⃣ Consistency is EVERYTHING. 📆

Your appointments are generally scheduled every 6–8 weeks, depending on the treatment area. These intervals help us target hairs during the appropriate growth phase. Skipping appointments won’t ruin your results, but it can prolong your treatment journey!

5️⃣ Not everyone will get the same results.

Our Diolaze laser treats black to light brown hair ONLY. Blonde, red, grey and white hairs cannot be effectively treated because they lack sufficient pigment.

Your skin tone, hair thickness, hormones and treatment area also influence your results. This is why an individualized assessment is so important!

✨ The goal? Significant, long-term hair reduction, finer regrowth and WAY less time shaving.

Fall and winter are the PERFECT time to start your laser hair removal journey!

Let’s get deep for a second…

Imposter syndrome is something I struggle with more than I probably let on.

I’ve always been a perfectionist. I’m always studying, taking courses, researching, asking questions and trying to learn more. And somehow, no matter how much I learn, there’s still this little voice that tells me I’m not actually that smart… that I should know more… that everyone else somehow knows more than I do.

Sometimes I even catch myself wondering why my clients keep coming back to me.

Why do they trust me with their skin? Why do they ask for my opinion? Why do they rebook? Why do they recommend me to their friends?

And then I have to remind myself that maybe being good at what you do doesn’t mean you eventually reach a point where you know everything.

Maybe it’s caring enough to keep learning. To ask questions. To admit when you don’t know something. To never become so confident that you stop trying to be better.

I’m still working on believing that I deserve to be where I am.

So to every client who has trusted me with their skin, listened to my recommendations, booked another appointment, sent me a friend, or simply told me they loved their results… thank you. 🤎

You probably think I’m helping you with your skin, but every time you come back, you’re quietly reminding me that maybe I am good at this.

And you’re healing a part of me in ways you probably couldn’t imagine. 🤎

Things you tell your aesthetician that make us die a little inside 😂

We promise, we’re not judging you… but the picking, skipping SPF, over-exfoliating and changing your routine every 5 business days might be making your skin goals a whole lot harder to reach.

Good skin doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing the right things consistently.

And yes… we can always tell when you’ve been picking. 👀
