Diode hair removal

Diode hair removal is one of the types of laser hair removal. The protection of the skin from the negative effects of powerful rays is provided by sapphire optics, which the device is equipped with. Thanks to the diode, hair removal occurs precisely, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure, reducing the risk of side effects.

Diode hair removal procedure

Diode hair removal is suitable if you have:

• there are ingrown hairs;
• sensitive delicate skin on which allergies appear after shaving;
• dark, coarse hairs that grow back quickly after hair removal;
• allergy to the components of wax or sugaring, as well as cream.

Diode hair removal helps to achieve:

• complete absence of hairs after just a few sessions;
• absolute removal of ingrown hairs;
• disappearance of pigment spots that remain after ingrown hairs.

The day before the procedure, you need to shave the area to be epilated with a razor. Since for the procedure the hair length should not exceed 1 mm. You should also avoid applying creams and lotions. The hair removal procedure itself occurs as follows:

1. The specialist treats the area of skin with lidocaine for pain relief.
2. The client lies down on the couch and puts on special protective glasses over his eyes.
3. The specialist begins the hair removal procedure by treating the area with a laser. Don't be alarmed if you smell burnt hair while epilating, this is completely normal.
4. If hairs are epilated on a small area of ​​the body, it will take about 15 minutes, but large areas will take up to 4 hours.

Under no circumstances should diode hair removal be performed at home. To do this, you need to have an expensive device and extensive experience in working with it. Otherwise, irreversible, sad consequences may occur.

Despite all its advantages, diode hair removal has a number of contraindications:

• presence of a fresh tan (you cannot tan for 2 weeks before the hair removal procedure);

Which laser hair removal is better: diode or alexandrite?

To decide which hair removal is better, you need to compare the pros and cons of each.

From the comparative table it is clear that for the most part the criteria are similar for both epilations, but they are still intended for different hair types. If using a diode you can only remove dark hair, then alexandrite is more universal, although it is not suitable for very light hairs. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say which laser is better; each is good, but only in its own field.
