What is Involved in Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is an advanced hair reduction technique that uses laser energy to damage hair follicles and prevent future growth. By targeting unwanted hair follicles at the root, laser energy can stop these hairs from growing in the future. As a result, patients can achieve long-lasting and even permanent hair reduction with laser hair removal.
At the Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness, our Greensboro plastic surgeon, Dr. Mary Ann Contogiannis, uses the Diolaze by InMode system for laser hair removal. This innovative laser can safely cover large treatment surfaces, which enables us to treat the following areas quickly and effectively:
- Bikini area
- Legs
- Arms
- Underarms
- Chest
- Back
- Shoulders
- Stomach
- Neck
- Chin
- Sideburns
The Diolaze device offers a built-in cooling system for enhanced comfort during treatment to provide a virtually painless experience from start to finish.
Am I A Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
If you are looking for a way to eliminate unwanted body hair for good, you may be a good candidate for Diolaze laser hair removal. The advanced technology is generally used to treat various skin types and tones on almost any area of the body. However, the best way to determine candidacy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Contogiannis for a comprehensive evaluation to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual aesthetic needs and goals.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Treatment Work?
Laser hair removal with the Diolaze system is surprisingly fast and comfortable. Its advanced technology and structure are designed with one of the largest treatment spot sizes, allowing us to treat greater areas of the skin at once, with maximum efficacy. Plus, it’s safe for all skin types and can be customized to adjust the laser energy depending on your hair type and skin sensitivity.
During treatment, the Diolaze device will be passed over the skin, delivering diode laser beam energy to the targeted hair follicles to penetrate heat down to the root of the hair and impair hair growth. Small areas can be treated in a few minutes, while larger areas may take 30 minutes to an hour.
What Can I Expect During the Recovery Process Following Laser Hair Removal?
After laser hair removal, you may experience redness or sensitivity in the skin, not unlike a sunburn. These symptoms typically fade within a few days, but you may need to abstain from certain activities to prevent any damage or irritation to the skin. Patients are able to resume most normal activities immediately following their treatment.
What Results Can I Expect from My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
After laser hair removal, the treated hairs will shed over the following weeks. There are many hairs in the body, all of which grow in different phases, which makes it difficult to treat all hairs at once. You will likely need multiple laser hair removal treatments to address all hairs in an area and achieve complete hair removal. Generally, most Diolaze patients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after a few sessions, however, optimal results are usually seen after four to six treatments depending on the hair color, hair type, body area, and skin tone. During your consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will create a treatment plan and let you know how many treatments to expect.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
The cost of laser hair removal varies per individual based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, number of areas being treated, the extent and/or complexities of treatment, and the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired outcome. After a consultation with Dr. Contogiannis, our office will provide an estimate for your laser hair removal treatment plan based on the unique details that will best suit your cosmetic goals and patient care.
