Diode laser hair removal is a popular method for removing unwanted hair. Here's how it typically goes:
Step 1: Consultation and skin analysis Before the procedure begins, the specialist conducts a consultation to discuss the client's expectations, determine the skin and hair type, and identify any contraindications for laser epilation. It’s crucial to ensure that the client does not have any skin diseases or other medical contraindications.
Step 2: Skin preparation The skin must be clean and dry before the procedure. All cosmetics, oils, and creams are removed. Hair in the treated area should be trimmed short to enhance the laser's effectiveness.
Step 3: Applying gel A special cooling gel is applied to the area being treated. The gel helps the laser glide more smoothly over the skin and protects the upper layer of skin, reducing discomfort and the risk of burns.
Step 4: Epilation procedure The specialist uses a diode laser, adjusting it according to the client's skin and hair type. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This heat destroys the hair follicles, preventing further growth.
Step 5: Cooling the skin After the procedure, the treated area may be slightly red or swollen. To reduce discomfort, cooling packs or special soothing creams can be used.
Step 6: Post-procedure care The specialist provides recommendations for post-procedure skin care, which may include avoiding direct sunlight and using sunscreen. It is also important to avoid hot baths and saunas to prevent additional skin irritation.
These steps help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure, minimizing the risk of side effects and achieving desired results."
