We think so. Laser hair removal will save you money and time in the long-run. You won’t have to speedily shave your legs or armpits anymore before running out of the house. DiolazeXL treatment will let you enjoy silky smooth skin for a long time!

The length of your results are related to your particular skin and speed of hair regrowth. Multiple treatments may be required to provide your long-lasting results.

The DiolazeXL will destroy hair follicles immediately but the length of your appointment will depend on what area(s) are being treated for hair growth. Small areas like the lip may take under a minute to treat, whereas the legs will take about an hour. An estimate of time will be given when you schedule your appointment.

Hair removal with DiolazeXL is a long-lasting solution to your hair concerns. The longevity of your results will be unique to you. Some patients do not experience hair growth again while others do after a while.

This is one of the great beneficial side effects of laser hair removal. Reduction of hair bumps and ingrown hairs will be markedly noticeable even after your first session. We have seen this on all body parts including face, neck, bikini line, legs, backs and underarms.

Lighter hair is very difficult for the laser to treat because the pigment in the hair is what attracts the laser beam in order to destroy the hair growth. Dark haired clients with fair skin are the easiest clients to treat, but we would love to see you for a free consultation to let you know if you are a good candidate.

We understand that many people use self-tanners and spray tanners, however we cannot treat you with a laser while it is on your skin. When scheduling your laser hair removal treatments please be sure that you have allowed enough time for all of the artificial tanner to be gone from your skin. You are able to use self-tanners/spray tan immediately following your laser hair removal treatment.

Tanned skin, whether from being outside or using a tanning bed is different because the skin is actually tanned darker than usual. For the safest results, we need you to be as close to your natural color as possible. Tanning is not allowed for two weeks before the treatment or two weeks after having laser hair removal.

Waxing and tweezing must be avoided for six weeks before treatment. Shaving is permitted and actually encouraged before treatment.

It is dangerous to treat close to the eye with the diode laser. Actually, Georgia law prohibits laser hair removal within one inch of the orbit of the eye.

You may apply makeup and return to social activities immediately after treatment.

We treat most skin types. During your consultation appointment we will determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

A lot less hair and shaving! We’re well aware of the many empty and misleading claims made by other clinics offering laser hair removal, including the declaration that you’ll never shave again. The truth is you see an 80 to 95 percent reduction in hair growth. The follicles that remain are damaged and produce a finer hair than you had before laser treatment. You can expect to shave much less than you do now. Some of our patients shave once a week, some once a month; some don’t have to shave at all. One thing we can say for sure, each of our clients is pleased with his or her results. About two to three weeks after your first session, you will begin to notice less hair, slower-growing hair and even some hair falling out.

While this once was the case, we’re happy to report that using new laser technology has yielded a safe experience for clients with darker skin types. Uniquely designed lasers protect the skin while achieving excellent hair removal results. And, as we reduce the hair growth, we even can reduce the pigmentation changes (caused by ingrown hairs) that commonly arise in people of color. The pigmentation on the skin that is caused by ingrown hairs will be markedly reduced after laser hair removal.

We do not to treat pregnant patients. Should you become pregnant during laser hair removal sessions, we simply finish your package after you deliver. We do, however, treat nursing women.

We screen all of our patients to be certain they are not taking Accutane. Typically, medications that cause light sensitivity are okay to use with the treatment, but be sure to report all medications and supplements to your provider.

We suggest our patients with a history of genital herpes, who are treating their bikini area, take Valtrex to prevent an outbreak. There seems to be a slightly increased incidence of herpes outbreaks in patients with a history of genital herpes. Similarly, for patients with a history of frequent fever blisters on their lips, who are having treatment on the lip or chin, we recommend the same antiviral preventative measures. If we have seen you in consultation, we are able to prescribe the medication for you, or you may get a prescription from your personal physician.

Yes, and it works quite well. PCOS patients are women who have a “hormonal issue” that results in a male pattern of hair growth. With laser hair removal will get a reduction of anywhere from 60-80% of hair growth. Our goal is to reduce the maintenance that you have to do substantially, and reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair tremendously. We tell all of our PCOS patients to expect to do touch up sessions anywhere from two to three times per year after completing a package. These women also have increased hair growth on other body parts including the back, buttocks, neck and more and we can treat these areas as well.

This is one of the most exciting facts about the Diolaze system. The laser head is designed to provide pre, during and post treatment cooling to the skin to provide a painless treatment. In the rare event that a client is sensitive to the treatment, we do have a numbing cream that may be applied to the skin before treatment, barring any allergies to the medication. This may be discussed during your consultation.

Usually you will see results within two to three weeks after your first session. Many of our patients see a big difference after their first session with some reporting a 50% reduction in hair, but experience has taught us that they will see regrowth and they will use the eight sessions in our package.
