So, you’ve finally decided to take the plunge and try laser hair removal. The world of laser treatment, when looked upon at a distance, can be complicated and its effects a little vague. But there’s a reason diode laser hair removal has shot up in popularity over the years. Many young women and men prefer this method of hair removal for its speed, safety, and effectiveness. Price point aside, those who have had negative experiences with other cheaper hair removal methods will realize that a laser treatment is more cost-efficient in the long run.
Not all laser treatments are the same. Some laser treatments are more painful than the other, and it depends on the technology and machinery used in the process. Clinics that use single pulse lasers often attempt to reduce the pain with a numbing cream for a more comfortable procedure.
This is because a laser hair removal treatment slows down hair growth by targeting hair follicles, disabling their ability to grow further. Because a laser uses an electrical current to target hair follicles, one will naturally experience some pain and discomfort. The level of pain, however, will vary on the specific technology used.
So, exactly what is diode laser and why all this hype ?
Diode laser is a form of laser hair removal treatment that offers a gentle touch, removing hair while protecting the skin. This form of laser hair removal is an effective treatment of all skin and hair types. Diode laser have a longer wavelength for deeper penetration of the skin. Diode laser treatments are highly effective for individuals with courser hair and medium dark skin tones. This type of laser hair removal is a very versatile method. With increased advancements in technology, it can be an almost painless procedure.
Compared to other types of laser hair removal treatments, the Diode laser treatment often require less sessions for completion. Of course, the number of sessions will ultimately vary based on each individual’s configuration.
Why laser hair removal at follicle clinic is different ?
At follicle clinic we use a different type of technology called rapid-pulsing diode laser, an alternative that is said to be less painful than the convention laser. Other laser treatment uses low energy lasers, compared to the single-pulse laser which is more high-energy, although is still effective. Rapid-pulsing diode lasers use more precise technology to selectively hit the melanin in each hair follicle without affecting the outer area.
