Laser Hair Removal: An Effective Solution for Unwanted Hair

Traditional hair removal and depilation methods can be inconvenient, often painful, and not long-lasting.

Diode laser hair removal is an advanced method for progressively and permanently removing unwanted hair.

This treatment is performed at the Dermacademy Institute in Pisa: through a specialist aesthetic medicine consultation, the patient’s health condition, suitability for treatment, and the most appropriate protocol for addressing the imperfection will be evaluated.

Unlike other laser hair removal technologies, the diode laser can be performed during any season of the year, as it can be specifically adjusted for every skin phototype, whether tanned or not.

Recommended for anyone seeking long-lasting and permanent results, diode laser treatment is also an ideal solution for those suffering from folliculitis and pilonidal cysts.

How Is It Performed?

The laser session involves moving the handpiece over the skin surface to be treated, which must be free of creams and makeup and previously shaved with a razor.

Laser technology causes the progressive and permanent atrophy of the hair follicle through the emission of light beams with a predetermined wavelength that target melanin: selective photothermolysis acts on hairs in the anagen phase, creating a progressive reduction and thinning of the hair.

The hair is therefore not pulled out; rather, photothermolysis destroys the hair’s germinative structure, leading to long-lasting results over time.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

This treatment is almost always painless: the sensation may vary depending on the treated area and the patient’s sensitivity. Most individuals only perceive a sensation of warmth.

How Much Time Is Needed?

The interval between sessions is approximately one month, and it is recommended not to epilate between treatments. The protocol consists of a variable number of sessions depending on the area to be treated, the characteristics of the hair, and the hormonal condition of the patient.

It is therefore necessary to undergo a consultation with the aesthetic doctor in order to create a protocol tailored to the individual’s needs and characteristics.

Diode laser hair removal is a technology that allows treatments to be performed quickly, and each session may last from 20 to 120 minutes, depending on the treated areas.
