Laser treatments

Here at Waxination, where we have mastered the art of laser hair removal to perfection.Our treatments are more than just hair removal; it is a step towards permanently smooth and healthy skin.

How it works

The diode laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. This light energy converts to heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This precise targeting makes diode laser treatments both effective and gentle.

Most clients require 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results, as the laser is most effective on hair in the active growth phase. After completing your recommended treatment course, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth, with any remaining hair typically being finer and lighter.

Precision and care

Our laser hair removal treatment uses advanced technology to effectively remove unwanted hair. This method is gentle on the skin and provides long-lasting results. At Waxination we provide a treatment that is both effective and relaxing.

Pre & aftercare

Waxing and Sugaring Precautions

  • Hair Length: Ensure the hair length is ideal, typically about 0.5 to 1 cm, for an effective waxing or sugaring treatment, both for men and women.

  • Hydration: Hydrate the skin well before the treatment, but avoid applying lotions or oils directly before the session, both for men and women.

  • Pain Management: Consider using pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, 30 minutes before the treatment to reduce any discomfort, both for men and women.

Waxing and Sugaring Aftercare

  • Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid warm showers, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours after the treatment to prevent skin irritation, both for men and women.

  • Protection from Sunlight: Protect the waxed or sugared skin from direct sunlight and use a sunscreen with SPF, both for men and women.

  • Avoid Tight Clothing: Wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated skin and to reduce ingrown hairs, both for men and women.

  • Exfoliation after a Few Days: Begin regular exfoliation a few days after the treatment to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth, both for men and women.

  • Hydration: Keep the skin hydrated with a mild, moisturizing lotion to maintain healthy skin and reduce irritation, both for men and women.

Laser Precautions

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun and tanning bed exposure for 14 days prior to the treatment. A sunburned skin cannot be treated.
  • Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This ensures an efficient treatment, as the laser can target the hair follicles.
  • Use of Products: Stop using self-tanning products or retinoids at least one week before the treatment.
  • Skin Cleaning: Ensure the area is clean on the day of treatment, without lotions or deodorants.
  • Medication: Inform your beautician about any medications you are taking, as some can increase sensitivity to the laser.

Laser Aftercare

  • Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and exposure to direct sunlight for 24 hours after the treatment.
  • Protection from Sunlight: Protect the treated area with clothing and use a sunscreen with a high SPF.
  • Gentle Cleaning: Clean the area gently and avoid scrubbing or rubbing for several days after the treatment.
  • Hydration: Keep the skin well-hydrated with a mild moisturizing lotion.

How Diode Laser Hair Removal Works

Diode laser hair removal utilizes advanced light-based technology that targets and disables hair follicles through a process called selective photothermolysis. During treatment, the laser device emits concentrated beams of light that are specifically absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. This precise targeting allows the light energy to convert to heat within the follicle while leaving the surrounding skin tissues unharmed.

When the hair follicle absorbs this light energy, it rapidly heats to a temperature that damages the follicle’s reproductive structures, particularly the bulb and bulge areas where stem cells reside. This thermal damage effectively prevents the follicle from producing new hair. The process is most effective when hair is in its active growth phase (anagen), which is why multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart are necessary to target all follicles as they enter this phase.

Modern diode lasers operate at optimal wavelengths (typically 800-810nm) that penetrate to the precise depth of hair follicles while maximizing the contrast between hair and skin. This technology also incorporates advanced cooling systems that protect the epidermis during treatment, allowing for comfortable, safe sessions even for those with sensitive skin.

The Science and Technology Behind Diode Laser

Diode laser technology represents the gold standard in laser hair removal due to its unique characteristics that optimize effectiveness and safety:

1. Precise Wavelength Specificity: Our diode lasers emit light at 810nm wavelength, which penetrates the skin to the exact depth where hair follicles reside (1-4mm below the surface). This optimal wavelength strikes the perfect balance between melanin absorption and tissue penetration.

2. Pulse Duration Control: Our systems deliver energy in precisely calibrated microsecond pulses, allowing sufficient time for follicular heating while preventing excessive thermal spread to surrounding tissues. This pulse control is customized to each client’s hair thickness and skin type.

3. Spot Size Optimization: With larger spot sizes (up to 18mm), our diode lasers can treat more follicles simultaneously, increasing treatment efficiency while distributing energy more evenly for better results and reduced discomfort.

4. Integrated Cooling Technology: Our advanced contact cooling systems maintain epidermal temperatures below 20°C during treatment, protecting surface skin while allowing therapeutic temperatures (65-72°C) to develop within the follicle itself.

5. Computer-Guided Parameters: Treatment settings are automatically adjusted based on scientific algorithms that consider your specific hair color, thickness, skin tone, and treatment area, ensuring optimal energy delivery for maximum effectiveness with minimal risk.

The technology continuously evolves, with our clinic regularly updating to the latest innovations in diode laser systems to provide the most comfortable and effective permanent hair reduction available.

Treatment Protocol and Process

Your diode laser hair removal journey at Waxination follows a scientifically-developed protocol designed for optimal, long-lasting results:

1. Comprehensive Consultation: We begin with a detailed assessment of your hair characteristics, skin type, medical history, and expectations. This information allows us to create a customized treatment plan and determine the ideal laser parameters for your unique physiology.

2. Pre-Treatment Preparation: For optimal results, we recommend shaving the treatment area 12-24 hours before your appointment. The area should be free of lotions, deodorants, or other topical products. We advise avoiding sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to treatment.

3. Treatment Execution:
• The area is cleansed and, if necessary, shaved to remove any surface hair.
• A thin layer of transparent cooling gel may be applied for additional comfort.
Protective eyewear is provided for both client and technician.
• The laser handpiece is guided methodically across the treatment area with slight overlapping to ensure complete coverage.
• Each laser pulse treats approximately a 2cm² area in a fraction of a second.
• Sensations typically range from mild warmth to a quick snapping feeling.

4. Session Duration: Treatment times vary by area, ranging from just 10 minutes for underarms to approximately 60 minutes for full legs, making this an efficient option even for busy schedules.

5. Treatment Intervals: Sessions are typically scheduled every 4-8 weeks depending on the body area, allowing synchronization with hair growth cycles. Facial treatments may require more frequent sessions (every 4 weeks) while body treatments are often spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

6. Complete Course: Most clients require 6-10 sessions to achieve optimal results, with maintenance treatments recommended annually or as needed after the initial course is complete.

Clinical Efficacy and Expected Results

Diode laser hair removal has been extensively studied and clinically proven to provide remarkable results:

– Scientific studies demonstrate an average of 70-90% permanent hair reduction after a complete treatment course.

– Results vary by individual, with factors like hair color, skin type, hormonal balance, and anatomical location influencing outcomes.

– Results develop progressively over the treatment course:
– After 1-2 sessions: 20-30% reduction in hair growth
– After 3-4 sessions: 30-60% reduction with remaining hair becoming finer
– After 5-6 sessions: 60-80% reduction with noticeably sparse, fine regrowth
– After 8-10 sessions: Maximum results of 80-95% permanent reduction

– Areas with thinner, lighter hair (such as arms) typically require fewer treatments than areas with coarse, dense hair.

– Treatment efficacy is highest for dark hair on lighter skin due to greater contrast, though our advanced technology allows successful treatment of a wide range of skin types.

– The permanence of results is influenced by hormonal factors, with areas affected by hormonal hair growth (like women’s facial hair or male-pattern body hair) sometimes requiring maintenance treatments.

– Clinical data indicates that after completing a full treatment course, any remaining hair is typically much finer, lighter in color, and slower growing than before treatment.

Clinical Efficacy and Expected Results

Diode laser hair removal conducted by our certified professionals has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects:

Temporary Effects: Most clients experience mild redness and slight swelling similar to a mild sunburn, typically resolving within 24-48 hours.

Pigment Changes: There is a small risk (<5%) of temporary hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, which typically resolves within 1-3 months. Our technicians carefully calibrate laser settings to minimize this risk.

Rare Complications: Less than 1% of treatments result in blistering, scarring, or persistent pigmentation changes. These risks are significantly reduced through proper technique and appropriate parameter selection.

Safety Measures: We implement comprehensive safety protocols including thorough pre-treatment screening, cooling systems, protective eyewear, and sterilization procedures that exceed industry standards.

Contraindications: Laser treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, for clients taking photosensitizing medications, those with certain skin conditions, or on recently tanned skin. Our detailed consultation process identifies any potential concerns before treatment begins.

Long-term Studies: Research spanning 15+ years demonstrates no significant long-term adverse effects from diode laser hair removal when performed properly.

Each of our technicians undergoes rigorous training and certification specifically in diode laser operation and safety protocols to ensure the highest standard of care during your treatment.

Wat our customers say

Tried many olasers in the past 10-15 years, but it was never working as I have very fair hair. But Svetlana suggested to try their Diode Laser, and it worked very well! Highly recommended. P.S. I've been a loyal client of waxination for almost 4 years already and I have tried many other services. Always top quality.
