At Glow Med Clinic, we provide laser hair removal treatments with two different technologies: Venus Versa™ hair removal and DiolazeXL.
DiolazeXL is an advanced laser hair removal procedure that safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair. DiolazeXL has one of the largest treatment spot sizes, making treatments convenient and fast. The combination of efficacy, patient comfort and speed makes DiolazeXL a leader in laser hair removal. It is powerful enough to target and treat even the most stubborn hair.
DiolazeXL has a built in skin cooling surface which is one of the largest for all hair removal devices. This makes treatment more comfortable than other devices, with most patients noting that DiolazeXL is virtually painless.
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a highly concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.
The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, heating it and destroying the follicle's ability to regrow hair. The procedure is effective for reducing or eliminating hair in the treated areas.
Most people experience some discomfort during laser hair removal, often described as a snapping sensation or mild stinging. However, many modern laser systems incorporate cooling mechanisms to make the procedure more comfortable.
When performed by a qualified and experienced professional, laser hair removal is generally considered safe. It is essential to follow pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions to minimize any potential risks.
The number of sessions varies based on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the treated area. On average, multiple sessions (usually 6-8) spaced several weeks apart are needed to achieve optimal and long-lasting results.
Laser hair removal can be used on virtually any part of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and more.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary discomfort in the treated area. Serious side effects are rare but may include changes in skin pigmentation or scarring.
Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to perform hair removal on a variety of skin types. However, it's crucial to use the appropriate laser type for each skin tone to minimize the risk of side effects.
