Permanent Body Hair Reduction

  • DIOLAZ-MZ (Diode 808 Pro Ice Laser) is a non-invasive technology that utilizes Diode laser, for hair removal with highest speed, the best skin cooling system for hairs of dark blond-black colour skin. The Best for Sri Lankan skin colours.
  • The 808nm ice laser hair removal operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis. Through adjustments in laser wavelength, energy, and pulse width, the light energy penetrates the skin surface, reaching the hair follicle’s root. Absorbed and converted into thermal energy, it effectively destroys follicular tissue, preventing hair regeneration. The high-speed freezing point hair removal system features a unique freezing protection mechanism that cools the local epidermis to 5 degrees Celsius. This technology overcomes early hair removal methods’ limitations, including significant side effects, bulky equipment, and epidermal damage. It is painless, safe, quick, and ensures long-lasting hair removal without harm to surrounding tissues.
  • For best results, multiple treatments will be needed. For most areas 6 treatments are necessary to achieve desired hair clearance. more than 6 treatments may be needed which need to be continued at set intervals per the clinical trials (facial: once every 4 – 6 weeks and body: once every 6 – 8 weeks) – failure to adhere will result in a less desired outcome.
  • No complete clearance is guaranteed for all.
  • Individual results vary depending on hair type, colour, coarseness, density, skin tone, skin color and previous methods of hair removal. Some of the factors that could trigger new hair growth as hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, medications, menopause, tweezing, or waxing.
  • There may be some discomfort and transient redness and/or swelling associated with treatment
  • There is a possibility of temporary Short-Term Effects
    • Erythema (redness of the skin)
    • Oedema (slight swelling due to the heat)
    • Mild burning (with or without a blister)
    • Temporary discoloration of the skin (if burnt)
    • Scarring and permanent discoloration if a blister was scratched or popped
    • Temporary bruising or formation of small red / purple spots caused by pressure.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Avoid the sun 2-4 weeks before and after treatment until your healthcare provider allows it. 
  2. Your provider may ask you to stop any topical medications or skin care products 3-5 days prior to treatment.
  3. You MUST avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. The melanin-containing hair must be present in the follicle as it is the “target” for the laser light.
  4. If you have had a history of perioral or genital herpes simplex virus, your provider may recommend prophylactic antiviral therapy. Follow the directions for your particular antiviral medication.
  5. RECENTLY TANNED SKIN CANNOT BE TREATED! If treated within 2 weeks of active (natural Sunlight or tanning booth) tanning, you may develop hypopigmentation (white spots) after treatment and this may not clear for 2-3 months or more.
  6. The use of self- tanning skin products must be discontinued one week before treatment. Any residual self-tanner should be removed prior to treatment.

 

POST-TREATMENT CARE

  1. Immediately after treatment, there should be erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) of each hair follicle in the treatment site, which may last up to 2 hours, or longer. The erythema may last up to 2-3 days. The treated area will feel like sunburn for a few hours after treatment.

  6. Use a sunblock (SPF 30+) at all times throughout the course of treatment.
  7. Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. Do not use any other hair removal treatment products or similar treatments (waxing, electrolysis or tweezing) that will disturb the hair follicle in the treatment area after the laser treatment is performed. Shaving may be used.
