Diode XL targets hair follicles using precise wavelengths of light. It’s effective on a wide range of skin types and delivers long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair. The laser energy heats and destroys the follicle without damaging surrounding skin, making it a safe and comfortable option for areas like the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, self-tanning products, and sun tanning for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. Refrain from using exfoliating active ingredients on the treatment area for at least 3 days before your appointment. Avoid photosensitizing medications, like antibiotics, for at least 10 days before treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF to treated areas to protect from sun damage. If your skin feels sensitive after the appointment, use aloe vera gel or an ice pack to soothe the area. You can shave between appointments as needed.
