What to Expect Before and After Diode Laser Hair Removal
Before the Treatment
Proper preparation ensures that your skin is ready for laser treatment and helps maximise results while reducing potential irritation.
- Avoid waxing or plucking for at least three weeks before your session. The laser needs hair roots to target effectively.
- Shave the area 24 hours before treatment to allow the laser to reach the follicle beneath the skin.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for one to two weeks before treatment.
- Do not apply creams, deodorant, or oils on the treatment day.
- Inform the doctor about any recent medications or skin treatments.
During the Treatment
Each session begins with cleansing and cooling of the target area. The diode laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and targets melanin in hair follicles. The laser energy disables the follicle, preventing regrowth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Most patients describe the feeling as mild warmth or a light snapping sensation. Sessions typically take between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
After the Treatment
The treated skin may appear slightly red or warm immediately after the session. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours.
- Apply soothing gel or aloe vera to reduce any mild irritation.
- Avoid saunas, hot showers, or vigorous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- Protect treated areas from direct sun exposure and use sunscreen daily.
- Do not wax or pluck between sessions; shaving is acceptable if needed.
Hair will gradually shed within two to three weeks after treatment. Each session reduces the number of active follicles, leading to long-term smoothness over multiple treatments.
Expected Results
Most patients see visible hair reduction after three to four sessions. For complete results, a course of six to eight treatments is recommended, spaced about four to six weeks apart. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help preserve long-term results.
