Pre-Care and Aftercare for Diolaze Laser Hair Removal

Diolaze Laser Hair Removal: Overview

Diolaze by InMode is an advanced laser hair removal treatment that uses diode laser technology to reduce unwanted hair effectively. It’s renowned for being powerful, efficient, and relatively painless, making it a popular choice for long-term hair reduction.

How Does It Work?

  1. Diode Laser Technology:

    • Targets melanin in hair follicles with a concentrated wavelength of light.

  2. Selective Photothermolysis:

    • Converts light energy into heat, selectively damaging hair follicles while sparing surrounding skin.
    • Disables follicles to prevent future hair growth.

  3. Cooling Mechanism for Comfort:

    • Integrated cooling continuously cools the skin, reducing discomfort and irritation.

  4. Multiple Treatments Required:

    • Hair grows in cycles, so 4-6 sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to target all active follicles effectively.

Benefits of Diolaze

  • Effective Hair Reduction: Achieves significant, long-term hair reduction for smoother skin.
  • Safe for Various Skin Types: Works on many skin tones, with the best results on lighter skin with darker hair.
  • Quick Treatment Time: Large applicator size ensures efficient treatment of larger areas (e.g., legs, back).
  • Minimal Downtime: Clients can return to normal activities immediately, with mild redness resolving in hours.

Potential Risks of Diolaze

  • Temporary Redness or Swelling: Mild irritation post-treatment is common but resolves quickly.
  • Pigmentation Changes: Rare hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, especially in darker skin tones.
  • Minor Discomfort: Slight stinging or tingling during treatment, mitigated by the cooling system.
  • Risk of Burns: Rare, but possible with improper settings or untrained providers.

Pre-Care Instructions

  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: No tanning (including self-tanners) for 1 month before treatment.
  2. No Waxing or Plucking: Refrain for at least 4 weeks prior; shaving is allowed and recommended.
  3. Shave Before Treatment: Shave the area 24 hours prior to reduce discomfort.
  4. Avoid Certain Products: Stop retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliants 7 days before treatment.
  5. Skip Numbing Agents: Inform your provider if you’ve used any numbing creams.
  6. Discontinue Photosensitizing Medications: Consult your provider if on medications like Accutane or doxycycline.
  7. Arrive with Clean Skin: Ensure no makeup, lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the treatment area.

Post-Care Instructions

  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Use SPF 30+ and avoid direct sun for 1-2 weeks post-treatment.
  2. No Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
  3. Cleanse Gently: Use lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.
  4. Moisturize: Apply soothing lotions like aloe vera for redness or irritation.
  5. Avoid Harsh Products: No retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliants for 3-5 days.
  6. Do Not Pick or Scratch: Prevent irritation or infection by leaving the treated area untouched.
  7. Hair Shedding: Treated hair will shed within 1-3 weeks; avoid plucking or waxing but shaving is fine.
  8. Use Cold Compress: Apply to reduce swelling or discomfort if needed.
