Be Laser Smooth

slight discomfort may be sensed over the treatment areas but no topical anaesthetics are necessary for this procedure. The Diode applicator is also considered the "gold standard" of hair-removal lasers as it can be used to treat all skin types effectively and with the fewest number of treatments. How does the Diode Laser System work? The system emits near-infrared laser light that is absorbed by the melanin located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed for only a short fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse Is long enough to damage the follicle, without damaging the surrounding tissue, thanks also to the contact-cooling handpiece, that protects the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery. How does Xlase Plus Hair Removal compare with other hair removal methods? Shaving, waxing and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a frequent basis and none of those methods can successfully reduce ingrown. Diode Laser Hair Removal offers permanent hair reduction and treatment of ingrown hairs. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? When using the laser diode in "motion speed modality", the treatment is virtually pain free. With the other laser wavelengths most people tolerate the treatment very well referring as it to be felt like an elastic band pinged against the skin. However you should bear in mind that some people are more sensitive than others. Does the diode laser work on dark skin? The diode laser system safely and effectively treats all skin types (Fitzpatrick Skin Types I - VI). For darker skin types, appropriate parameters are set: generally lower energy and lower pulse lengths are set to prevent epidermis damage. Using the appropriate treatment parameters, people with all skin types can benefit from diode laser hair removal. Are the Results Permanent? The diode laser is proven to work in hair removal and permanent hair reduction on all skin types. To achieve a satisfactory level of clearance, 6-8 treatments are typically required.
