Diolaze Laser Hair Removal

What is Diolaze laser hair removal?

Diolaze is an advanced laser hair removal solution that can help to save you time and money and get rid of coarse or stubborn hair comfortably. It uses powerful diode laser technology to effectively destroy hair follicles, resultong in silky smooth and radiantly glowing skin. Thankfully, you also don’t have to suffer the pain that typically comes with hair removal, because Diolaze’s cooling system makes the process practically painless and its large surface area coverage and minimal downtime allows you to get on with your day in minutes.

How does Diolaze hair removal work?

Fortunately, the days of worrying about unwanted hair growth are over, because Diolaze has revolutionised laser hair removal, owing to its speed and power. It uses a diode laser beam to emit high-intensity light and target the melanin located at the hair’s roots, instantly vaporising the hair at its source without causing bleeding or scarring, and significantly restricting future hair growth. The innovative built-in cooling system keeps pain to a minimum.

What are the benefits of Diolaze?

Diolaze is the gold standard in hair removal, eliminating annoying hair that grows faster than you can blink. Now you can forget traditional methods like waxing and threading, as Diolaze gets to the root of the concern, delivering long-term results and requiring only a few sessions. It can cover and treat large areas like the back or legs, making it easy and fast with no risk of ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

Does Diolaze laser hair removal hurt?

Diolaze has a built in skin cooling surface which is one of the largest for all hair removal devices. This makes the treatment more comfortable than other devices, with most patients noting that Diolaze is virtually painless.

Why do I need multiple treatments?

As with all laser hair removal methods, Diolaze requires a series of treatments. Laser hair removal works best when the hair follicles are in their mature stage, however, at any given time your hair is in various stages of growth.

How many sessions are required?

Hair is reduced with each treatment and results are observed after four to six sessions. The number of sessions will differ depending on your hair colour, hair type, body area and skin tone.

Which areas of the body can be treated?

Diolaze can be safely used on most areas of the body that have unwanted hair. Most commonly treated areas include bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.
