Diode laser hair removal: a progressive but permanent system
Diode laser hair removal is a permanent but progressive hair removal system, in the sense that definitive results are obtained after a certain number of sessions, depending on the type of hair and skin of the subject. In fact, it is possible to eliminate the hair only in the anagen phase, which obviously not all follicles go through in the same period. For this the treatment requires from 4 to 12 sessions to obtain a satisfactory result. In each session 10-20% of the total hair is eliminated. At the end of the sessions there is a thinning of 70-80% of the hairs. Two sessions per year are planned for maintenance.

Contraindications for diode laser hair removal
Undoubtedly this diode laser hair removal treatment definitely frees us from a real hassle: unwanted hair. No more annoying and irritating waxes, nor chemical depilatory creams, nor razors, which cause many women allergies and irritation or the tearing of tweezers in particularly delicate areas. Even for men who have excessive hair, it can be the solution to a problem. However, we must keep in mind that there are also contraindications and precautions to be taken. This treatment does not work in the same way with those with red, white and blond hair: for these skin phototypes the diode laser treatment must necessarily be performed by a doctor with a different technique. The treatment is not recommended in pregnancy, lactation, in epileptic subjects, in pacemaker wearers, in case of metal, acoustic, electrical prostheses, skin infections, recurrent herpes simplex, angina, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, use of contraceptive pills, hemophiliasis, psoriasis , menstruation, grazes or abrasions of the skin and other pathologies. Breast epilation is not recommended, as well as in the case of breastfeeding, even for subjects with fibrocystic mastopathy, nodules and prostheses. In the case of diabetic clients, a medical evaluation of the state of health is necessary.
Precautions before and after diode laser hair removal
To prepare for the treatment, you need to shave with a razor a couple of days in advance. In addition, a meeting is scheduled between the operator and the subject who must undergo epilation, to evaluate the skin phototype and other characteristics or other influential data such as age, sex, pathologies, drugs and health status of the client, for being able to frame the appropriate parameters of the treatment. The diode laser hits the bulb of the hair follicle and crushes it resulting in hair loss, without hitting the skin and other affected parts of the body. Before starting, the client wears goggles to protect his eyes. He is smeared with a refreshing gel on his skin. The operator adjusts the laser power according to the customer's sensations. Diode laser hair removal is a technique that permanently removes unwanted hair and is a painless, risk-free method that gives good results, but as long as some basic guidelines are followed. If you take photosensitizing drugs you cannot undergo this treatment. To ensure that the treatment is safe, effective, without side effects, if you take drugs contraindicated to this technique, it is necessary to stop them before treatment, so as not to cause reactions and spots on the skin. If the client cannot stop the drugs, he cannot be treated. If he has taken antibiotics or anti-acne drugs, the doctor can decide when to start the treatment without consequences. The use of isotretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, which reduces the production of sebum and prevents "excessive keratinization of the skin, avoiding the blockage of hair follicles. For a month and a half before The treatment cannot bleach the hair, nor use other means of hair removal, tweezers, waxes, creams. It is advisable to avoid sun exposure for a few days before and after laser hair removal, as well as tanning lamps, self-tanning creams, various exfoliants, horsehair gloves and peeling, in order not to cause redness and dermatitis to the skin. Exposure to other types of heat (Turkish bath, sauna) is also not recommended for 4 days before and for 4 days after the treatment. Perfumes and products containing alcohol should not be used on the area to be epilated. The use of glycolic, salicylic and phytic acid-based products must be suspended at least 30 days before. Tattoos, moles and scars should be covered with paper. All instructions must be strictly followed to prevent burns, pigmentation changes, scars, herpes or infections.
Free yourself from a problem with diode laser hair removal
Summer is approaching. If you want to get rid of the problem of unwanted hair, a real torture especially if you are at the beach, you should think about it right now, planning a series of ten sessions for progressive and definitive diode laser hair removal. There is a big difference between epilation and hair removal. When we talk about progressive and permanent diode laser hair removal we are referring not to hair removal, which is the shaving of the hair that protrudes from the pore, but the elimination of hair down to its root. You cannot safely program the number of laser sessions, as the phototype, the density of the hairs and their size, their resistance to the light emitted by the instrument are factors that influence the duration of the treatment to obtain definitive results. This is why a meeting with your beauty coach is necessary, that is to say an "image consultancy", as even during the treatment, clients are followed, analyzing and evaluating the results gradually obtained together with the operator. The treatments are fast and the cold gel that favors the passage of the unidirectional monochromatic light beam makes it even more painless, relieving the sensation of itching and ensuring that the skin does not become inflamed. Obviously, to achieve a definitive result, several sessions are needed to wait for all the hair bulbs to activate, which is conditioned by age and hormone production.The first meetings can be established after a shorter period of time, then once a month. Thereafter, there will be quick maintenance sessions and then assessments of the definitive results. If you have decided, do not wait until the summer to plan your treatment: if you expose yourself to the sun it is not possible to undergo "laser hair removal!"
Alternatives for those who cannot undergo diode laser hair removal
The darker and richer the hair is in melanin, the more effective the treatment is. Those who take hormones, steroids, contraceptive pills or have other dysfunctions could check for the appearance of new hair. Sometimes after the treatment for a few days the skin may be red in a point-like way in the hair follicles. There are products based on aloe vera or zinc oxide which, applied several times a day, alleviate these manifestations. Depigmentation or hyperpigmentation may occur (in the case of dark skin), but these are temporary and self-regressing reactions. Thanks to diode laser hair removal, a solution can also be found to the problem of ingrown hair, especially in the most delicate areas such as armpits and groin. These areas when shaved with razors or other methods other than laser hair removal are easily irritated, as you can verify at the sea, but even if they are covered and sheltered from the sun and sea salt, they often have irritation and inflammation, folliculitis, dermatitis and various allergies. This problem is also resolved by diode laser hair removal, gradually eliminating the hairs and with them also the cells that regenerate them, thus removing the apical part with its monochromatic and unidirectional waves. Diode laser hair removal weakens the hair more and more every session, ultimately completely solving the problem of unwanted hair.
The treatment is not too expensive, considering that the machines have a high cost; much depends on the city, on the center, on the extent of the treated area. In general, among the methods of hair removal, the Italians prefer the one with sugar paste, sugaring. The other most commonly used methods are diode laser or pulsed light hair removal. In Europe, Hollywood or Brazilian waxing is generally preferred and finally threaded threading for defining the eyebrows. Manual shaving is said to make hair grow back faster, more and harder and darker. Other experts consider it a safe method especially for adolescents; I am also of the opinion that the number of hairs that grow back is the same and that the sensation of greater hardness depends on the fact that the part of the hair cut by the razor is the softest, because it is exposed to rubbing. Those who do not tolerate the pain of waxing and pulling, can use depilatory creams, bearing in mind that it is a chemical process, obtained with thioglycolic acid, which dissolves the hair to be removed: it works, but it is not a natural method. Waxing can be done hot by the beautician or cold done with strips. It is a bit painful method, especially the first few times, but it leaves the skin smooth for at least a month, it weakens the hair and the prices are low, especially in DIY!
