Laser hair removal is a minimally invasive, most sought-after, cosmetic medical procedure that is the best solution for individuals who are in a constant struggle of maintaining hair-free, smooth skin. Globally, this method of getting rid of undesirable body or facial hair is considered to be the largest market in the aesthetics industry. Laser or light-based treatment can prevent and reduce future growth of hair but its efficacy depends upon the type of laser used. Among different laser treatments, diode lasers are proven to be the safest, most effective, and fastest method, and this technology is offered at SB Aesthetics, best Diode Laser Hair Removal Clinic in Gurgaon.

What is a diode laser?

Diode laser belongs to the class of lasers which is known to generate a coherent projection of light in the visible to infrared range using semiconductor technology. For unwanted hair reduction, diode lasers are employed to produce a narrow spectrum of the light beam for targeting specific chromophores (melanin or hemoglobin) lying in the skin. An ~810nm diode laser allows the light to penetrate deeper into the tissues and offer superior absorption of melanin. This frequency makes it best for hair removal and safe for people with dark skin tone.

How does a diode laser work?

Laser hair removal by diode laser uses the selective photothermolysis principle to target the dark melanin pigment present in the skin or the hemoglobin of the blood flowing in the veins present underneath the skin. It is a non-ablative laser that only focuses on thermally damaging the skin chromophores without causing any harm to the surrounding tissues.

When diode lasers are specifically used to remove the unwanted hair, the main target is the melanin present in the hair follicles which gets heated up and damages the hair follicles. This disrupts hair growth and regeneration. Each hair may belong to different phases of the hair growth cycle; the laser treatment is done to eliminate hair that is actively growing. Hence, there will be a requirement of multiple laser sessions (usually 6-8) to get the silky smooth skin with maximal hair reduction. For obtaining the maximal effect of the diode lasers, dermatologists match the specific wavelength of light and pulse duration to that of the treatment site. Based on the number of sessions, target area, the cost of the treatment is decided. To know more about the Laser Hair Removal Cost in Gurgaon, consult the laser experts at SB Aesthetics.

What to expect from diode laser hair removal?

Before the use of diode lasers, the laser treatment doctor performs a small skin patch test to ensure that laser treatment is not causing any discoloration, scarring, and pigmentation issues on the skin. To avoid the effects of laser radiation on the eyes, the laser technician may ask the patient to wear eye protection.

Next, the diode laser device is set to a wavelength of light that matches the hair and skin color of the patient. Then, the medical professional cleans and shaves the targeted site which can be any hair body part including the neck, face, arms, abdomen, legs, back, underarms, and even sensitive ones like pubic and chest hair. The treatment site may be numbed with local anesthesia (in patients with a low pain threshold) followed by the use of the laser. With every beam of laser light fired into the skin, the patient may experience a rubbing band snapping sensation. To reduce the comfort and improve treatment efficacy, cooling technology may be used complementary to the treatment. Immediately, the patient can experience the vaporization of the hair shaft.

Benefits of diode laser for unwanted hair removal:

  • Larger treated areas tend to undergo speedy recovery.
  • This laser type is safe and each pulse of light allows deeper skin penetration. Thus it is suitable for any combination of skin types and hair colors. But best for darker, terminal hair than finer, lighter hair.
  • The diode laser adopts a longer wavelength and thus provides more improved results among dark-skinned individuals.
  • The operation is made more convenient by using a rotatable 10-inch color touch screen.
  • It provides enhanced results when combined with Bi-polar RF.
  • A high-level generator is used that ensures a longer working time and powerful energy.
  • There is a significant increase in the speed at which laser hair removal is carried out in a larger treatment site.
  • It can help people achieve permanent hair reduction in 90% of cases.
  • A single laser session is quick i.e. lasts for about an hour ensuring a speedy recovery.
  • There is a stable reduction in hair regrowth after the diode laser treatment.
  • When compared to other laser hair removal systems, diode lasers are less painful.
