Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets follicular melanin to reduce regrowth over a course of sessions, using diode (808 nm) and long-pulse 1064 nm platforms suited to a broad range of skin types.

Laser energy heats the pigment in the hair follicle to reduce regrowth. Different wavelengths suit different skin tones, and treatment runs over several sessions because hair grows in cycles.

  • 808 nm diode balances melanin absorption and depth for general use.
  • Long-pulse 1064 nm penetrates deeper and is suited to darker skin types.
  • A course of sessions is needed because hair grows in cycles.
  • Supported by the DioLase Titanium, DPL Elite, and the Pro 1 Pico's long-pulse mode (selected protocols).

Overview

Laser hair removal targets melanin in the hair follicle with controlled light or laser energy to reduce regrowth over a course of treatments.

Wavelength selection matters. 808 nm balances melanin absorption and depth for general use, while 1064 nm penetrates more deeply and is suited to darker skin types. A clinician sets parameters and cooling per patient.

The DioLase Titanium diode platform anchors high-volume hair removal, while the DPL Elite and the Pro 1 Pico long-pulse 1064 nm mode support selected protocols. This page is educational; suitability is determined by a trained provider.

FAQs

Which Pro 1 Laser devices support laser hair removal?

The DioLase Titanium diode platform, the DPL Elite light platform, and the Pro 1 Pico's long-pulse 1064 nm mode are all used in hair-reduction protocols.

How many sessions are typical?

Hair grows in cycles, so a course of treatments is used. The number depends on the area, hair characteristics, skin type, and provider settings.

Does it work on darker skin?

Long-pulse 1064 nm is the wavelength used for darker skin because it is less absorbed by surface melanin; settings and cooling are selected by a trained provider.

Is it suitable for light, grey, or white hair?

Laser hair removal targets pigment in the follicle, so it is most effective on darker hair; light, grey, or white hair responds less predictably.

How long between sessions?

Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to match the hair growth cycle; a provider sets the interval for each treatment area.
