MEANING

During a treatment with the diode laser bundled light is used. The specific name “Diode Laser 808” comes from the pre-set wavelength of the laser. Because, unlike the IPL method, the diode laser has the set wavelength of 808 nm. The bundled light can be a punctual treatment of each hair, take place.

Thanks to the frequent impulses and thus lower energy, the risk of burns can be reduced.

BEFORE THE LASER TREATMENT

Before a treatment with the diode laser, waxing or epilating the hair must be absolutely avoided. With such hair removal methods, the hair is removed with its hair root and therefore are not treatable anymore.

When shaving the hair there is not such a problem since the hair is cut off above the skin surface. Here the essential connection to the hair root is still intact. Only this way light beams can get to the hair root and a successful permanent hair removal can be achieved. If this connection is interrupted, is takes about 4 weeks for the hair to reach its growth phase again and is treatable.

Pigment or moles are covered before each treatment or get completely omitted. The reason for this is that there is a high level of melanin in the stains.

Tattoos are also left out with every treatment, otherwise it may cause colour changes.

WHAT TO CONSIDER AFTER A TREATMENT

There may be some redness after the treatment. It should disappear after one or two days. To prevent this redness, you can take care of your skin, such as calming aloe vera or chamomile.

Intense sunbathing or solarium should be avoided as the strong light treatment will temporarily remove the natural UV radiation protection of your skin. It is highly recommended to apply a sun blocker on your treated skin.
