* The laser beam of a precise wavelength of 808 nm penetrates the skin, is absorbed by the dark pigment melanin and converted into heat
* The hair roots, which are in the growth phase, are destroyed by the heat
* The pulse duration and strength is individually adapted to your skin type, hair and skin color
* Not all hairs are in the growth phase, so several treatments are necessary at intervals of 3-8 weeks
* As the laser beam targets the melanin in the hair, the effect is faster on darker hair than on light or gray hair
* Even "dormant" hair roots are activated, so that increased hair growth can be observed during the first 2-3 treatments
* Depending on skin type, hair density and intensity of hair growth and body region, 6-10 treatments are necessary to remove all existing hair roots
* New hair roots are gradually formed over the course of a lifetime. Refresher treatments are recommended 1-2 times/year for long-lasting results

In contrast to the wide range of wavelengths of the IPL system, the diode laser is characterized by a precise wavelength of an 808 nm light beam:

* selective destruction of the hair root and protection of the surrounding tissue
* Less heat development on the skin, therefore painless compared to IPL
* fewer treatments required than IPL
* Less time and financial outlay for the patient
* Suitable for skin types I-V, with the exception of skin type VI (dark brown to black skin, even when not tanned).
* The gliding procedure shortens the treatment time, allows the painless application of energy deep into the hair follicles and permanently cauterizes them thermally, so that hair regrowth does not occur.

* Shave the area to be treated one day before treatment
* Do not use any body lotions or perfumes on the day of treatment
* Do not epilate, wax or pluck hair 4 weeks before the treatment
* 4 weeks before the treatment no visits to the solarium and intensive sunbathing
* No laser epilation within the first 4 weeks after surgical procedures, including laser treatments
* No laser epilation for acute skin infections, especially herpes infections
* Exfoliation recommended one week before treatment
* Discuss regular intake of medication before treatment
