Diode laser

What is a diode laser? It is a device, based on the photon emission by diode elements. The wave targets various areas: hair follicles of dark and fair hair, melanin, hemoglobin of blood vessels. Diode laser has a rejuvenating, immune stimulating, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and is used for:

1. Hair removal. This is the key focus area of laser therapy of this type. Melanin absorbs laser radiation, and the hair body transforms laser energy into heat, penetrating the follicles and destroying them, which results in permanent hair removal. The procedure is touchless and does not cause severe pain.

2. Treatment of comedones, acne, post-acne scars and other skin inflammatory processes. The laser destroys pathologic infectious microorganisms, causing inflammations, and promotes recovery. It improves skin health and normalizes metabolic processes.

3. Elimination of vascularity spots and other defects. The diode laser activates anagenesis and promotes tissue repair.

4. Removal of scars and stretch marks. Powerful stimulation of the production of your own collagen and elastin will make such defects almost invisible.

5. Non-ablative rejuvenation. The skin is not damaged: laser beams have narrow targeted action, renewing and stimulating only the necessary area of face or body.

Advantages of the procedure

The diode laser has particular advantages in comparison with similar devices, namely:

• Absolute safety. Built-in cooling system eliminates the risk of burns;

• Narrowly targeted laser action together with the most gentle effect: surrounding tissue is not damaged, while the treatment causes no skin penetration;

• Activation of own collagen and elastin production, promotion of anagenesis, visible lift;

• The ability to customize the unit based on personal traits of the patient: adjustment of the wavelength and intensity of laser pulses;

• Comfortable procedure.

How to prepare for the treatment?

Before the hair removal session you need to shave hair off, avoid taking antibiotics, sunbathing and alcohol-containing skin care products.

General preparation rules for all diode laser procedures are skin cleansing, applying a topical anesthesia and setting the unit up according to individual traits of the patient and the application task.

Who is this procedure indicated for?

The diode laser therapy is indented for patients, who would like to:

• get rid of unwanted body hair;

• eliminate scars, stretch marks and inflammatory skin diseases;

• deal with photo- and chronoaging.

• treat vascular malformations, such as peripheral vascular markings, spider veins, etc;

• remove old tattoos and treat hyperpigmentation.

Risks

Since diode laser therapy is painless and safe (the laser wavelength is constant, and the unit is adjusted under individual traits of each patient), the procedure entails virtually no risk. However, please bear in mind possible contradictions, namely:

• Allergic reactions;

• Poorly controlled diabetes;

• Abundance of moles;

• Angiostasis;

• Hypertension.

Our doctor will provide you with the detailed information on contraindications at the initial consultation.

Post-treatment recovery

In order to maximize the positive effect of the procedure, you should follow some simple recommendations:

• Immediately after the therapy, avoid saunas and hot baths within the first two days.

• Protect your skin from direct sunlight and use mild skincare, eliminating the skin damage. Avoid scrubs and exfoliation.

• Avoid massage within the first day after the procedure, do not rub the skin with a hard washcloth.

• Between procedures of the hair removal course, do not use wax or depilatory cream; only shaving is permissible.
