DIOLAZE
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
What is Diolaze?
Diolaze is a laser hair removal treatment designed to provide long-term hair reduction. It uses laser energy to target the pigment in the hair follicle, helping to damage the follicle and reduce future hair growth.
How does Diolaze work?
Diolaze delivers laser energy into the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, creating heat that damages the follicle and interferes with its ability to produce new hair.
What areas can be treated with Diolaze?
Diolaze can be used to treat unwanted hair on many areas of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, back, and other areas as appropriate. Treatment areas can be customized based on your needs.
Is Diolaze painful?
Diolaze is designed with integrated cooling to help make treatment more comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief snap or warmth as the laser targets the hair follicles. Comfort can vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity.
How many Diolaze treatments will I need?
Multiple treatments are needed because laser hair removal is most effective when hairs are in the active growth phase. The number of treatments varies based on the treatment area, hair color, hair thickness, skin tone, and individual response. A series of treatments is typically recommended.
How often should Diolaze treatments be scheduled?
Treatments are spaced apart to allow time for additional hairs to enter the active growth phase. The appropriate interval depends on the treatment area and your individual hair-growth cycle. Most treatments are scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Should I shave before my Diolaze treatment?
Yes. Shaving the treatment area before your appointment is generally recommended. Avoid waxing, tweezing, or plucking the hair before treatment because the laser needs the hair follicle to be present to effectively target it.
What happens after a Diolaze treatment?
The treated area may appear slightly pink or have mild swelling around the hair follicles immediately after treatment. This is generally temporary. You should follow your specific aftercare instructions and protect treated skin from excessive sun exposure.
Is there downtime after Diolaze?
There is typically little to no downtime after Diolaze. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment, depending on the area treated and their individual skin response.
When will I see results from Diolaze?
Hair does not disappear immediately after treatment. Treated hairs gradually shed from the follicle over the following days to weeks. With each treatment, hair generally becomes finer and less dense as additional follicles are treated during their active growth phase.
Can Diolaze permanently remove hair?
Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. A series of treatments can significantly reduce hair growth, and maintenance treatments may be recommended over time.
Can Diolaze treat all hair colors?
Laser hair removal works best on darker, pigmented hair because the laser targets melanin in the hair follicle. Blonde, gray, white, and very light-colored hair may respond poorly or may not be effectively treated.
