Laser Hair Removal Q&A

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a high-tech way to remove your body hair without the constant effort and complications of razors, tweezers, and waxing. During a laser hair removal procedure at Venus Medi Spa, your provider uses the DiolazeXL handpiece for the versatile InMode Optimas laser device to swiftly remove small to large areas of body hair where you’d prefer smooth skin.

How does laser hair removal work?

The DiolazeXL laser beam targets the follicles within your skin that grow body hair. The heat from the laser destroys each follicle and prevents it from continuing its hair growth. 

You don’t have to worry about your skin feeling overheated or in pain. As the laser works, the device emits a cooling effect to counteract the laser’s heat. 

Your destroyed follicles no longer grow hair. In fact, you’ll see a 90% plus reduction in hair growth altogether after completing laser hair removal treatment sessions with the DiolazeXL, which is enough to stop some patients from shaving, waxing, or plucking entirely. If you see regrowth, it’s usually due to follicles that were inactive at the time of treatment but became active later. You’re welcome to come back to Venus Medi Spa for maintenance treatments.

Can I remove hair from all over my body with laser hair removal?

One of the perks of using DiolazeXL laser hair removal is that you can safely remove hair from most areas of your body. In fact, the laser has numerous settings to treat any texture of body hair. 

Areas that patients frequently choose to target include:

  • Arms
  • Back
  • Bikini area
  • Chest
  • Chin and jawline
  • Legs
  • Neck 
  • Sideburns
  • Shoulders
  • Stomach

During your consultation, your Venus Medi Spa provider creates a treatment plan to target each area that you specify. 

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

Preparing for laser hair removal is simple. Your Venus Medi Spa provider ensures you know exactly what to expect at the appointment so you don’t build it up in your mind and get nervous. To get ready for a complication-free laser hair removal procedure, he recommends that you:

  • Avoid tanning lotion for two weeks
  • Avoid UV rays for four weeks
  • Avoid waxing for six weeks
  • Trim your treatment areas

Following the pre and post-treatment instructions helps you avoid extensive skin irritation during and after your procedure.
