Next to an intense pulsed light laser, the diode laser hair removal is often recognized as the second-most universal and useful piece of laser hair removal equipment. Diode lasers also include several different models and feature longer light wavelengths, enabling light to penetrate deeper into the skin without risking any epidermal damage. In simple terms, this means that the diode laser can be used more effectively on darker skin colors than any other laser hair removal system. People with very dark skin tones -those who would not normally even be candidates for laser hair removal - can still benefit from laser hair removal procedures done with a diode laser. Opposite to contrary belief permanent hair removal with laser is not possible and it only reduces the growth of hair for longer periods. Though this method has many advantages but side effects of laser treatment should be considered before undergoing any treatment.
A laser hair removal equipment uses a blast of light which is fired into the hair follicle from a hand gun. The light is absorbed by the melalin in the stem of the hair, which in turn heats up and disfigures the hair follicle. The diode laser spot size is larger than the alexandrite and ruby laser with a variable pulse width that can be adjusted by the practitioner. This makes the diode laser hair removal more suitable for larger body areas than the ruby laser with its smaller head size.
The diode laser is a relative newcomer in the laser hair removal system. It was first approved by the FDA in 1997 but since then there have been multiple updates so there isn't much clinical data available on the laser. That said, many people are "unofficially" experiencing good results with laser hair removal procedures - some report as much as 80% permanent hair reduction. Results are subjective and it is impossible to say how well you will react to laser hair removal. Permanent hair removal with laser can be achieved by prolong treatment sessions, even that sometimes does not guarantee the desired results. You should also consider taking advice from a professional about side effects of laser treatment before any treatment.
