Diode Epilation


One of the most preferred methods for those who want to get rid of unwanted hair permanently is diode laser epilation. Both providing effective results and being suitable for different skin types make this method stand out. So what is diode epilation, how is it applied and who is it suitable for?

What is Diode Epilation?
Diode laser epilation is an epilation method that targets hair follicles using laser light at a wavelength of 810 nm. This wavelength penetrates deeply under the skin and directly affects the hair follicles. The laser light absorbed by the melanin (color pigment) in the hair follicles turns into heat and destroys the root, preventing the hair from growing back.

This method gives very successful results especially in dark hair and in individuals with light or wheat skin.

What are the Advantages of Diode Epilation?
It can reach deep hair follicles: Thanks to this feature, it is very effective especially in thick and hard hair.

Suitable for wider skin types: It can be used safely on individuals with wheat and dark skin as well as those with light skin.

It is minimally painful: Thanks to the cooling heads, the skin is protected during the procedure and discomfort is minimized.

It offers fast and permanent results: Permanent hair reduction is achieved with regular sessions.

Who is Diode Laser Epilation Suitable For?
Diode laser is generally effective for:

Individuals with light, wheat and slightly dark skin

People with thick and dark hair.

It can also be safely applied to many areas such as the genital area, armpits, legs, and back. However, it is less effective on light-colored (blonde, white) hair. In addition, laser epilation is not recommended during pregnancy.

What is the Application Process?
Diode laser epilation is usually completed in 6-8 sessions. Session intervals are usually between 4 and 8 weeks. Before the procedure, the hair is removed with a razor, a cooling gel suitable for the skin is applied, and the laser device is moved over the skin in a controlled manner.

Each session can last between 10 and 60 minutes depending on the width of the area to be treated.

What to Consider After the Procedure?
It is very important to protect yourself from the sun. High protection factor sunscreen should be used for at least 1 week after the procedure.

In the first 24 hours, activities such as hot showers, Turkish baths, and saunas should be avoided.

Slight redness and sensitivity on the skin are normal, and usually pass within a few hours.

Is Diode Epilation Safe?
Diode laser epilation is a very safe method when performed by experts, with the right device, and at appropriate doses. Risks such as burns, spots, or irritation on the skin are minimal. However, the procedure must be planned according to your skin type.
