Diode hair removal is one of the types of laser hair removal.

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 epilation;
- allergy to the components of wax or sugaring, as well as cream.
Diode hair removal helps to achieve:
- complete absence of hairs after several sessions;
- absolute removal of ingrown hairs;
- the disappearance of age spots that remain after ingrown hair.
The day before the procedure, you must shave the epilated area with a razor. Since for the procedure, the hair length should not exceed 1 mm. It is also worth refusing to apply creams and lotions. The hair removal procedure itself is as follows:
- The master treats the skin area with lidocaine for pain relief.
- The client lies down on a couch and puts on special goggles over his eyes.
- The specialist begins the hair removal procedure by treating the area with a laser. Do not be alarmed if you smell burnt hair during epilation, this is quite normal.
- If hairs are epilated on a small area of the body, then it will take about 15 minutes, but large areas take up to 4 hours.
At home, diode epilation should never be done. To do this, you need to have an expensive device and a lot of experience in working with it. Otherwise, irreversible sad consequences may arise.
Diode hair removal - contraindications
Despite all its advantages, diode hair removal has a number of contraindications:
- the presence of a fresh tan (before the epilation procedure, you cannot tan for 2 weeks);
- diabetes;
- colds;
- varicose veins in the place where hair will be removed;
- the presence of diseases of the pelvis and mammary glands prohibits epilation in bikini areas and underarms;
- malignant tumors;
- skin diseases (fungus, herpes, lichen, etc.);
- open lesions of the skin, where there will be epilation;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- many moles at the site of the procedure;
To avoid side effects, do not try to remove hairs left after the procedure yourself. They will fall out by themselves, after a while.

From the comparative table, it is clear that for the most part, the criteria for both epilation are similar, but still designed for different types of hair. If only dark hair can be removed with the help of a diode, then alexandrite is more versatile, although it is not suitable for very light hair. Therefore, to say which of the lasers would be better would be incorrect, each is good, but only in its own area.

Another popular type of hair removal- elos. We examined the pros and cons of the diode a little higher. And now about the advantages and disadvantages of Elos hair removal.

Reviews of diode hair removal: pros and cons
In general, the rating of diode hair removal is 4 stars out of 5. The girls were divided into two groups: some say that the procedure is generally painless, while others claim that they had to endure severe pain. Most likely, this is due to a different pain threshold, which is individual for everyone. Another part of the complaints was about the disinformation content of their clients' specialists. According to the latter, 6-7 procedures are required to completely get rid of hair, but in fact they need at least 10-12.
Otherwise, everyone was happy with the results that were obtained after the course of sessions. The hairs become much weaker, the skin is cleaner. Ingrown hairs and enlarged pores disappear and no longer bother you. Yes, the cost of the course is not very cheap, but this is a one-time investment, the result of which will delight up to 20 years, or even until the end of life.
