Diode laser hair removal is popular because it provides a variety of benefits, including the following:
Smoother skin
Long-term hair removal
No skin discoloration
Works on fine, light hairs
How does the Procedure work?
Diode Laser hair removal works on the principle called ‘selective photothermolysis’.
This means that dermatologists match the specific wavelengths of light and pulse duration to that of the treatment tissue to obtain the maximal effect.
Melanin is the colour pigment present in skin and hair that absorbs this radiation, acting as the target matter.
The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the intense heat of the laser.
This damages the hair follicle, hence inhibiting future hair growth.
That is why the treatment works best on those with light skin (low melanin) and dark hair (higher melanin) as the melanin in the hair draws the radiation away from the skin.
Different lasers are effective for different hair and skin types.
