Laser Hair Removal

Diode laser technology is widely considered the “gold standard” of hair removal lasers as it can be used to treat all skin types effectively and with the fewest treatments. Diode lasers use a single wavelength of light with a high absorption rate in melanin. At the same time, it incorporates skin cooling to protect the surface of the skin. As the melanin heats up, it destroys the root and blood flow to the follicle and disables the hair permanently. Diode lasers with the ability to deliver high-frequency, low fluence pulses can be safely used on all skin types.

The Diode laser has a deep penetration level and can target even the most coarse or stubborn hairs. Its superior melanin absorption makes it a safe removal method for all skin types and different body areas, including sensitive ones and ensures a stable reduction in hair regrowth after a treatment regime.

By comparison, IPL (intense pulsed light) is recommended for hair reduction devices which provide a broad spectrum of colours and wavelengths (like a light bulb) without focusing the light energy to a concentrated beam. Because IPL produces a range of different wavelengths and colours dispersed at various depths, the diffused energy targets not only the melanin in your hair follicle but also the surrounding skin.

nlike the Diode laser, it uses a wide range of light wavelengths that focus energy around the hair area, ultimately heating the hair follicle to prevent regrowth. While IPL is suitable for the majority of skin types, IPL treatment for permanent hair reduction works best on darker hair and might not be as effective on lighter-coloured hair. Because the wavelength is more dispersed with IPL, clients may find they need more treatments to obtain their desired results.

Not all of the body’s hair is in its growth phase at the same time. Hence, patients may be required to revisit the clinic to treat different areas for reduction of hair growth. It also helps reduce hair size and growth rate.

The number of sessions depends on the body part involved in the treatment. You may require more sessions than normal if you have any underlying conditions, such as PCOD.

Diode laser for hair removal is an effective laser treatment. It proves effective in reducing hair by destroying the hair follicle and subsequent long-term hair removal across various body parts.

Shaving between treatments is a great way to manage hair regrowth and keep unwanted hair to a minimum between and after treatments.

It is recommended to shave a night before or 24 hours prior to any laser hair removal treatment

Once you’ve received a series of laser treatments, you can expect to achieve a permanent reduction in hair growth in the long term. However, don’t be frustrated if you see unwanted hair growing back in your treated areas! The provider will help you achieve your desired results by providing follow-up treatments and customizing your treatment plan based on how your body responds to the treatment.

There are many different types of Laser Hair Removal machines on the market and they all can use different types of technology to work.

Jack Nathan is pleased to only offer DIODE laser hair removal, a gold standard in the industry. As well, our lasers feature sapphire cooling tips for a comfortable treatment experience.

Our clinics use both Venus Velocity™ + Luvo Bare 808 so we’re able to treat both fine and coarse hair as well as perform treatments on tanned skin!
