If you’re tired of spending hours removing unwanted hair with temporary methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking, laser hair removal could be the solution! It offers lasting results that will leave your skin velvety and unblemished.
Keep reading to find out how to get the silky smooth skin you want with laser hair removal!
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target subcutaneous hair follicles. The pigment in these follicles absorbs that light and damages them, preventing or delaying future hair growth.
This process, known as selective photothermolysis, only targets the hair follicle, protecting the surrounding skin from damage. Photothemolysis is a highly safe procedure used to remove unwanted tattoos and treat severe inflammatory acne.
The popular cosmetic procedure offers a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is suitable for various parts of your body, although its effectiveness depends on several factors, like your hair color, skin type, and the kind of laser used. The best results seen with laser hair removal are those that are fair-skinned with dark hair.
What Lasers Are Used for Laser Hair Removal?
Different types of lasers are used for hair removal depending on the patient’s skin and hair type. The most common are ruby, alexandrite, diode, and Nd: YAG lasers.
Ruby lasers were among the first used for hair removal. They are only effective for removing fine and light hair on fairer skin. Alexandrite lasers can be used for a broader range of hair and skin types and are especially effective on light-to-olive complexions.
Diode lasers are ideal for all skin and hair types, even darker skin tones and thicker hair. Nd: YAG lasers are suitable for all skin types but are less effective on lighter hair.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is most beneficial for people with light skin and dark hair due to the contrast between skin tone and the color of hair pigment. However, advances in laser technology have made it more effective on a broader range of skin tones and hair colors.
What are the Advantages of Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal offers numerous advantages over other methods of hair removal. These advantages include:
Precision
The precise lasers used for treatments can specifically target unwanted hair without affecting the surrounding skin. You can get your desired results without worrying about redness or other adverse reactions.
Speed
Each laser pulse takes just a fraction of a second during a laser hair removal treatment and can treat multiple hairs simultaneously.
Smoother Skin
Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal leaves skin feeling silky and smooth, with no rough stubble.
Long-Lasting Results
Laser hair removal significantly slows hair regrowth and, in many cases, can prevent treated hair from returning.
Cost Effective
Compared to the ongoing expenses of other hair removal options, like shaving or waxing, the one-time cost of a series of laser hair removal treatments is more cost-effective.

DiolazeXl at Advanced Aesthetics and Med Spa
At Advanced Aesthetic and Med Spa, we offer our clients the DiolazeXL laser hair removal system. We use DiolazeXL because it combines peak power with the ability to target large areas of unwanted hair simultaneously.
Targeting larger areas of skin allows our clients to achieve permanent hair reduction in shorter treatment sessions. With DiolazeXL, treating a large area takes half the session time as other laser hair removal systems.
What is DiolazeXL?
DiolazeXL is an advanced laser hair removal system that safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair. It provides a unique combination of efficacy, comfort, and speed and is powerful enough to target even the most stubborn hair.
During a DiolazeXL treatment, a diode laser beam passes harmlessly through the skin to penetrate the hair follicles. The energy from the laser heats pigment in the hair follicles, causing damage that prevents future hair growth.
DiolazeXL is more comfortable for clients than other laser hair removal options. It has the largest built-in skin-cooling surface of any hair removal device.
This cooling surface helps make treatments less painful and more manageable for clients. Many people who have had DiolazeXL treatment say that it is virtually painless!
How Many Treatments Does DiolazeXL Require?
The number of treatments it takes DiolazeXL to give you silky and smooth skin depends on several factors, including follicle growth stage, hair color and type, body area, and skin tone.
It can safely treat unwanted hair on the bikini area, legs, arms, chest, back, chin, neck, and sideburns. While individual results vary, many clients see results after four to six treatments.
Are There Any Risks Associated with Laser Hair Removal?
While laser hair removal is generally considered safe, some people temporarily experience minor side effects after treatment.
The most common side effect is redness or irritation at the site of the area treated. This usually disappears within a few hours, and using an ice pack can help make treatment areas more comfortable.
Another common side effect is pigmentation changes. A person with light skin may notice darker skin at the treatment site, while the opposite may occur in people with darker skin tones. This side effect is also temporary and typically goes away on its own.
You can have the silky smooth skin you’ve always wanted with laser hair removal! Treatments with an effective hair removal system like DiolazeXL can provide long-lasting results wherever you want to eliminate unwanted body hair!
