FAQ
What is 808 diode laser epilation?
Diode laser hair removal is a treatment that aims at the permanent and permanent elimination of unwanted hairs through a treatment using 808 nm wavelength laser light.
The 808 diode laser generates a very selective beam of light towards the hair, compared to the skin. The phenomenon of thermolysis, which transforms laser light into heat, allows you to burn the dermal papilla, stopping forever the generation of new hair.
At what age is it advisable to start treatments?
All adults can undergo our treatments.
In particular cases it will be possible to treat minors (with parental permission of course), after careful anamnesis.
Is it correct to take a treatment every 28 days?
It is not correct to perform treatments at a fixed rate. Treatments should be performed only when strictly necessary and determined by the head of the beauty salon from time to time, depending on the growth of the hair. Performing treatments when not necessary may make it more difficult to achieve the goal.
How many treatments (sessions) do you need?
It is not possible to determine a priori the exact number of sessions, as this depends on various factors such as phototype, hair diameter, skin color, area to be shaved, etc.
An average of 10 sessions are needed for dark hair. For lighter hair you may need a few more sessions.
Is it final?
The human body has millions of hair bulbs, but not all have hair, because bulbs can be active or inactive. This difference is very important to fully understand the timing of laser results and why this treatment is called “progressively definitive”.
During a single session with the diode laser more or less between 20% and 60% of the active bulbs present in the treated area are eliminated, but only those in which the hair is in phase Anagen, that is in phase of growth.
Beware, however, the moment the human body realizes that it has suffered the loss of a bulb, it goes to awaken an inactive bulb. The activation of inactive hair bulbs is influenced by numerous factors, first of all the age, closely related to the hormonal production.
It is therefore not difficult to understand why more sessions are necessary to obtain a satisfactory result with the laser epilation, so as to remove all hair bulbs, active and inactive.
Is the treatment painful?
Diode laser epilation is painless, the beam of light is absorbed and heats mainly the hair bulb, while light skin tends to reflect it.
During treatment you may experience some discomfort similar to a needle prick, usually referred to as mild, which is mainly related to the area treated and individual sensitivity.
After the treatment you do not feel any pain or discomfort, it will still be necessary to follow the steps indicated by the staff to optimize the results and reduce possible side effects.
Which areas can and cannot be treated?
The diode laser can be used for epilation on almost the whole body, even in more delicate areas such as groin and face. Legs, armpits, shoulders, belly, moustache, etc. are all areas where you can get excellent results also avoiding the discomfort caused by hair removal such as irritations and rashes.
The only areas where treatment cannot be carried out are around the eyes and, in the case of male epilation, the testicular area. The area around the eyes should be avoided for the reasons explained above related to the risk of serious damage in case of contact with the retina, while for the testicles the big risk is to create damages that lead to sterility.
Another case where the treatment with diode laser can not be carried out, is tattooed skin. The dark color of the tattoo would overheat the skin, at the level of burn.
What are the risks of freckles?
Dark spots, freckles and sunless spots could be a problem because the laser light, depending on the intensity, may overheat them. If the quantity is small, they can be covered with the white pencil technique. If the quantity is demanding, a more accurate evaluation should be made.
After how long are the results visible?
Already from the first session you will notice a significantly lower growth of the amount of hair and, as a positive side effect, a softer and smoother skin, due to the heating of the skin.
The result of the treatment is subjective, variable according to the characteristics of each client based on skin color and hair, stem diameter, age, sex, hormonal status and lifestyle.
It is important to point out that the laser epilation does not immediately eliminate unnecessary hair but requires more sessions.
Does it also work on white and blonde hair?
It is possible to treat blonde and red hair even though the results may be slower. In addition, with our machines it is possible to treat white hairs although they do not contain any pigment. In this case a special mode of energy supply is required.
