Diolaze Laser Hair Removal – Essex

Multiple sessions will be required to achieve your goals and – crucially – to ensure removal is permanent. This is primarily because hair grows in cycles. At any given time, different hairs will be at different stages of their growth cycle. During a single Laser Hair Removal session, some of your hair follicles will be lying dormant and will therefore not be killed off by laser. Other factors can also impact the number of sessions you will require. These include your hair type, hair colour, skin tone and the size and type of the area that you are treating. As a guide, patients usually need between six to 12 treatments in a course. Your practitioner will advise you on your likely course of treatment during your no-obligation consultation. They will also monitor your progress during ongoing free reviews.

Yes, results from Diolaze Laser Hair Removal can be permanent. Procedures destroy targeted hair follicles, preventing future regrowth. It is unlike more traditional methods such as waxing, bleaching and depilatory creams, which only offer a temporary solution. Results may differ between individuals.

Lighter coloured hair is generally more challenging to remove. This is because the pigment in lighter hair doesn’t attract the laser beam as well, enabling it to be destroyed. Your practitioner will advise you whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment during your initial consultation.

Diolaze Laser Hair Removal can be used safely to treat most areas of the body and even some of the face where unwanted hair is growing.

Yes, the treatment is very safe. The machine even has a large cooling feature to ensure procedures are more comfortable than other laser hair removal devices.

It is recommended that the area being treated is shaved 12-24 hours before the appointment. This ensures that the skin is protected. Unshaved hair can attract laser energy and can target the follicles which lie beneath the skin surface. Therefore, by shaving the day before, there is a reduced risk of causing damage to the skin with the laser.
