Laser Hair Removal Treatment in Chesapeake, VA

Diolaze is an advanced laser hair removal procedure which safely and gently removes unwanted hair. It has one of the largest treatment spot sizes, which makes for quick and convenient treatment. By combining high peak power and large spot size treatment, Diolaze is the most effective laser hair removal treatment on the market.

For those tired of shaving, tweezing, or waxing unwanted hair away, then laser hair removal is the perfect solution. During treatment, a highly concentrated laser beam passes through the skin to the hair follicles, which heats up the root of the hair, and thus prevents future hair growth.

During a consultation, it will be discussed whether you, your hair, and your skin are a good candidate for the Diolaze procedure, along with whether your skin is particularly sensitive. While the procedure is painless for most – as the laser head provides cooling to the skin before, during, and after treatment to ensure a painless reaction – those who may be or are sensitive to treatment may opt for a numbing cream that is provided, barring any potential medicinal allergies.

The majority of patients see an 80-90% reduction in their hair growth, and the hair follicles that remain after treatment are damaged, meaning that they will produce a finer hair than before treatment. In the immediate weeks following treatment, you are likely to notice less hair, slower-growing hair, and even hair falling out. As well, there is a reduction of hair bumps and ingrown hairs after your first treatment.

Immediately after treatment, the area may feel as though it has been sunburnt. Applying moisturizers and cool compresses can help. Overall, you should see a loss of hair over the following month, and it is recommended that you use sunscreen whenever you are outside.

There are some potential complications that may occur with laser hair removal, as with any medical procedure – although these are usually minor and rarely occur. Some of these complications include blisters, swelling, and redness, although these usually resolve on their own with some minor medical or at-home treatment required. Permanent discoloration of the skin, however, is a very rare occurrence.

It is recommended that you avoid waxing or tweezing six weeks prior to treatment, as the laser used in the procedure targets the hair roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking. It is also recommended that you avoid sun exposure (tanning) for four to six weeks before and after treatment, as sun exposure makes the procedure less effective and raises the chances of complications occurring.

Before scheduling your treatment, please make certain to remove any artificial tanner from your skin or wait for it to fade before scheduling as you cannot be treated with a laser while it is on your skin. However, immediately following the procedure, you may apply self-tanners or sprays to your skin. If you make use of tanning beds or sun-bathing, then do not do so for two weeks before or after treatment, so as to provide you with the best, safest results.
