Here’s a Q&A for the Diode Laser Hair Removal:

• What is Diode Laser and how does it work?
  Diode Laser is the latest breakthrough technology in laser hair removal systems. It uses a light beam with a narrow focus to target specific areas in the skin. This laser technology selectively heats target sites while leaving surrounding tissue undamaged. It treats unwanted hair by damaging the melanin in the hair follicles, causing disruption in hair growth.
• Does Diode Laser hair removal hurt?
  Diode Laser hair removal is generally painless. A premium cooling system ensures effective cooling to protect treated areas. The treatment is fast, painless, and safe, unlike Alexandrite or other monochromatic lasers. Its laser beam acts selectively on the hair’s regenerating cells, making it safe for the skin. Diode lasers cannot harm the skin, do not have side effects, and can be used on any part of the body.
• Does Diode Laser work on all skin types?
  Yes, Diode Laser uses an 808nm wavelength and can safely and effectively treat all skin types, including dark pigmented skin.
• Does Diode Laser work on white or gray hair?
  No, Diode Laser is not effective on white or gray hair. The laser targets melanin in the hair follicles, and white or gray hair lacks melanin, making it resistant to laser hair removal treatments.
• Does Diode Laser work on areas with tattoos?
  No, it’s not recommended to use Diode Laser on areas with tattoos. The laser could heat up the ink in the tattoo, potentially causing skin burns or other complications. Avoid treating over tattoos or near areas with permanent makeup during laser hair removal treatments.
• How often should I undergo Diode Laser treatments?
  Initially, treatments should be repeated every 4-6 weeks. Most people require 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results.
• Can I shave in between Diode Laser sessions?
  Yes, you can shave between sessions. After your first laser hair removal session, you may notice that you won’t need to shave as much as before.
• Can I pluck hair after Diode Laser?
  No, you should not pluck or pull out loose hairs after laser hair removal. The treatment targets the hair follicle to permanently remove hair. Removing the root can disrupt the process and hinder successful results.
• How long after Diode Laser hair removal can I shower, use a hot tub, or go to a sauna?
  You can shower after 24 hours, but if you must shower sooner, wait at least 6-8 hours post-treatment. Use tepid water and avoid harsh products or scrubs. Do not use a hot tub or sauna until at least 48 hours after treatment.
• How will I know if Diode Laser is working?
  Signs that the Diode Laser is effective include: slower hair regrowth, lighter hair texture, easier shaving, reduced skin irritation, and disappearance of ingrown hairs.
• What happens if I wait too long between laser hair removal treatments?
  If you wait too long between treatments, the hair follicles may not be damaged enough to stop hair growth, and you might need to restart the treatment process.
• Is 6 sessions of laser hair removal enough?
  Most people need 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, with periodic maintenance treatments recommended once a year. The full treatment cycle may take a few months, with sessions spaced several weeks apart.
• Does hair grow back after Diode Laser hair removal?
  After several sessions, you can enjoy hair-free skin for years. The treatment damages hair follicles, preventing hair growth. However, some follicles may survive and grow new hair in the future. Factors such as hormonal changes and medications can also affect hair growth. If noticeable hair regrowth occurs years later, a follow-up session can address it. Permanent results are possible, but future hair growth cannot be entirely ruled out.

Post-care for Diode Laser Hair Removal is important to maintain the results and keep your skin healthy. Here are some general post-care tips:

• Redness & Bumps are normal. Immediately after your treatment, redness & bumps at the treatment area are common; these may last up to 2 hours or longer. It is normal for the treated area to feel like a sunburn for a few hours. You should use a cold compress if the sensitivity continues. If there is any crusting, apply an antibiotic cream. Darker pigmented skin may have more discomfort than lighter skin & may persist longer.
• Cleanse the area treated gently.
• No makeup & lotion/moisturizer/deodorant for the first 24 hours. Keep the treated area clean & dry, if further redness or irritation persists, skip your makeup & moisturizer, & deodorant (for underarms) until the irritation has subsided.
• Limit your sun exposure as much as possible subsequent to treatment.
• Use sunscreen (spf 25 or higher) at all times throughout the treatment period & for 1-2 months following.
