Currently, laser hair removal is the most effective method of removing unwanted hair. One of the best laser devices on the market that we have at Medical Clinic Podhale Art in Zakopane is diode laser. It is distinguished by the highest peak power of 4800 W and has the Crystal Freeze function, thanks to which the treatments are almost painless.

Epilation treatments using the diode laser guarantee effective removal of unnecessary hair. Technology allows you to operate with pulses from 3 ms. The temperature is then optimal to destroy the hair follicles, but it does not affect the skin, thanks to which depilation is not only effective, but also safe and basically painless.

It is very important that this treatment can be used for any skin phototype, as well as any type of hair – we also get great results on people with fair hair. Treatments do not last long, because the laser has a larger light-emitting tip and a high frequency of pulses. In addition, there are static and dynamic modes that allow you to work more efficiently. Comfort during the procedure is ensured by cooling the Crystal Freeze tip. There is minimal discomfort, and most people using this laser hair removal claim that it is completely painless.

Hair removal using the diode laser must be performed several times, at intervals strictly defined by the cosmetologist. Light affects the hair bulbs in the growth phase (anagen), but it does not work on hair bulbs in the resting state (telogen phase). In order for the depilation effect to be permanent, it is best to perform 4-8 treatments at intervals of 4-6 weeks. Studies have shown that this diode laser heat destroys hair follicles in proportion to their size and color. The emitted beam of rays penetrates the skin, reaching the hair follicle and permanently destroying the bulb.

• Unwanted hair.
• Ingrown hair.
• Inflammation of follicle.
• Delicate skin, irritated after traditional depilation.

• Do not sunbathe or use self-tanner before the depilation procedure.
• Half a year before the first treatment, oral retinoids should be discontinued.
• One week before the procedure, phototoxic and photoallergic drugs and herbs must be discontinued.
• The person performing the procedure should be informed about all medications taken.
• The day before the procedure or even on the same day (if the hair grows quickly) you should shave the hair in the place of depilation.
• On the day of the procedure, you should not use lotions or body lotions, but you must stay hydrated (drink at least 2 liters of mineral water). The skin must not be dry or irritated.
• 2-3 weeks before the procedure, hair cannot be pulled out (tweezers, wax, mechanical epilators). They can only be shaved, trimmed or depilated with cream.
• One week before the procedure you can not perform peelings.
• If we are laser depilating the face, 4 weeks before the procedure, creams or ointments with retinol and fruit acids should be discontinued.

After laser hair removal, the skin may be slightly red, but this should subside after a few days. During this time, the skin should be gently cared for:

• wash with a delicate preparation, or clean water only,
• do not use deodorants immediately after the treatment (if the armpits were depilated),
• gently dry the skin, do not rub and do not irritate,
• exfoliating preparations should be introduced 2 weeks after the procedure,
• do not sunbathe for 2-3 weeks,
• you need to use creams with a high filter (preferably SPF 50+).

• Tanned skin.
• Photodermatoses.
• Cancers, inflammations of the skin.
• Active bacterial and viral infections.
• Pregnancy, diabetes, lowering the body’s immunity.
• Photosensitizing herbs (St. John’s wort, marigold, horsetail) and photosensitizing drugs (antibiotics, antidepressants).
