Laser Hair Removal (Diode)

Laser hair removal at Dermaestet uses a diode laser to target the pigment in the hair follicle, heating and disabling it to reduce regrowth, with a cooling effect that keeps treatment comfortable. It works on almost any body area — from the upper lip and underarms to the bikini line, legs, back and full body — and the clinic notes it can reach even fine and short hairs. Hairs grow in cycles, so a course of sessions is needed for lasting reduction; discounted area packages are available.

Laser hair removal works by directing a diode laser at the melanin pigment inside each hair follicle. The light is absorbed and converted to heat, which damages the follicle's ability to regrow hair while a built-in cooling effect protects and comforts the surrounding skin. Because the laser only disables follicles that are in their active growth phase — and at any moment only a portion of hairs are in that phase — a course of treatments is needed to progressively thin the hair across an area. The result is long-term reduction in density, with remaining hairs typically finer and lighter. At Dermaestet the method is described as one of the most effective available, with high success even on lighter and shorter hairs, and a cooling action for near-painless treatment across all body areas. At the appointment the skin is cleansed and the practitioner passes the handpiece across the zone; sessions range from a few minutes for the upper lip to longer for the legs, back or a full-body treatment. The clinic prices each area individually and also offers discounted packages for larger zones such as the full legs, full arms, back-chest-shoulders and the full body, with single sessions priced from small face areas up to a maximum per-session cap. Most people see noticeable thinning after the first one to two sessions, with a typical course of several treatments spaced weeks apart and occasional maintenance afterward. Treated skin should be protected from the sun, and the laser is generally not used over recently tanned skin, on very fair or grey hair lacking pigment, during pregnancy, or while taking photosensitising medication; suitability and skin type are assessed beforehand.
