How Does Diode Laser Hair Removal Work?

Diode laser hair removal uses a specific wavelength of light (typically 810nm) that targets melanin pigment in the hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, which heats up and destroys the follicle without damaging surrounding skin. This process results in permanent hair reduction.
At Fresh Mediq Global Clinic, we use FDA-cleared, medical-grade Diode Laser systems with integrated cooling technology, ensuring safe, painless, and highly effective treatment.

Effective on coarse or thick hair
Calibrated for Asian, Middle Eastern, and mixed skin tones
Adjustable settings to minimize pigmentation risk

Your treatment is always supervised by certified professionals trained in laser safety and dermatological care.

Number of Sessions Required

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to target all follicles in their active phase (anagen).

Standard Protocol:

6–8 sessions per area
Spaced every 4–6 weeks
Touch-ups may be needed annually for maintenance

Results depend on hair density, skin color, hormonal status, and adherence to aftercare.

Is It Painful? What to Expect

Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or a light rubber-band snap, especially in sensitive areas like the bikini line.

Fresh Mediq uses skin cooling tips and dynamic pulse settings to minimize discomfort:

No anesthesia required
Mild redness may occur (resolves in hours)
Treatment duration: 10–60 minutes, depending on area

Pre-Treatment Care

To ensure the best results, follow these instructions:

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session
Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading 3–4 weeks before
No tanning, sunbeds, or self-tanners for 2 weeks before
Avoid acids or retinol creams 5 days before
Inform staff of any medications (e.g., antibiotics, isotretinoin)

Post-Treatment Care

Apply cold compress or aloe vera if redness occurs
Avoid hot showers, saunas, or sweating for 24 hours
Use sunscreen (SPF 50+) on exposed areas daily
Do not wax, pluck, or exfoliate the area for at least 1 week
Hydrate your skin with a gentle moisturizer

How to Prepare for Long-Term Results

Commit to your treatment schedule every 4–6 weeks
Avoid hormonal triggers (consult doctor if PCOS or hirsutism is suspected)
Follow sun protection to avoid pigmentation changes
Use laser-compatible skincare for optimal outcomes
Avoid new medications or peels during treatment cycles unless cleared
