Laser Hair Removal

What is laser hair removal?

The diode laser is one of the most commonly used and most effective lasers for permanent hair reduction, especially in individuals with light skin and dark hair.

What is a diode laser?
The diode laser uses a wavelength of approximately 800–810 nm, which allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin and target melanin (the pigment) in the hair follicle. This destroys the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.

Which areas can be treated?
Face (chin, upper lip, cheeks), underarms, arms and legs, intimate areas (bikini line), back, chest, and abdomen (in men).

How many treatments are needed?
Typically, 6 to 10 sessions are required at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, as the laser is most effective during the active growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.

Possible side effects
Mild redness, swelling, or burning sensation (temporary)
Mild redness, swelling, or burning sensation (temporary)
Sun exposure should be avoided before and after treatment

The treatment is not recommended in cases of inflammation, infections, or untreated hormonal disorders.

Preparation before treatment:
Do not wax, tweeze, or use electric epilators (2–3 weeks before)
Shave the area 24–48 hours before treatment
Do not apply creams, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of treatment
Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds at least 7 days before and after treatment

At Derma Bella, we use the DIODE COOL Laser, which actively cools the skin during the procedure, ensuring a comfortable and painless treatment.

This treatment is one of our signatures, especially due to our specific approach of personalizing the treatment—depending on the client’s skin needs, products suitable for each skin type are used.
