Process:
Diode laser hair removal targets melanin in hair follicles with concentrated light energy, damaging them to reduce future hair growth. The laser selectively heats follicles without harming surrounding skin. Each session takes 15-30 minutes depending on area size, with multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart recommended for optimal results.

Pre-Treatment Precautions:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning 4 weeks before treatment.
• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before session; do not wax or pluck.
• Discontinue retinoids and photosensitizing medications 1 week prior.
• Inform the technician of any recent skin treatments or conditions.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically resolves within 24 hours.
• Avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours.
• Apply cool compresses or aloe vera for comfort.
• Use sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation.

Pros:

• Permanent hair reduction with minimal discomfort.
• Precise targeting of unwanted facial hair.
• Quick sessions with no downtime.

Cons:

• Multiple sessions necessary for lasting results.
• Less effective on light or grey hair.
• Temporary redness and sensitivity possible.
