Unlike other laser hair removal systems that can be painful, the Diolaze handheld device contains a cooling plate that numbs your skin throughout the treatment. This means that Diolaze hair removal is more comfortable, and sessions are completed in half the time than other laser hair removal devices. Our laser hair removal treatments take place in our convenient Thousand Oaks office, and you can return to your regular daily activities directly after treatment.
Diolaze is manufactured by InModeMD, an Israeli company with an excellent track record of developing safe hair removal systems. The Diolaze system contains sophisticated monitoring technology and automatic shut-off systems to protect your skin. Our Westlake Village laser hair removal treatments are extremely safe when administered by a qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Tansavatdi.
Diolaze is administered by Dr. Tansavatdi. She will use a handheld device that contains a diode laser beam, which safely and gently penetrates through your skin to heat up the root of the hair follicles. This prevents the hair from being able to re-grow. At the same time, Diolaze uses a Sapphire Laser cooling plate to chill the skin, making the treatment virtually painless.
Our laser hair removal treatments take between 5 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area(s) being treated. Diolaze appointments take much less time than traditional laser hair removal treatments. The lower leg, for instance, can be treated in less than 10 minutes.
Most of Dr. Tansavatdi’s patients require a series of 6 to 8 treatments, scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart. The reason for this scheduling is because laser treatments work best on mature hair follicles. Spreading treatments out over 3 to 6 months allows enough time for all hair follicles to mature and be effectively treated by Diolaze.
It’s important to understand the “permanency” of laser hair removal. The laser energy deadens hair follicles, which makes hair fall out over the course of the following weeks. Once that hair falls out, it won’t grow back. However, new hair follicles may develop, and hair can still grow from them.
So when you hear that laser hair removal is permanent, it means that the treatment will stop the follicle from being able to grow hair. But it won’t stop hair from growing from any new hair follicles that develop. This is another reason why getting multiple treatments is recommended.
There are certain factors that will have an effect on how well the laser hair removal works, such as skin color and type. The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for our Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village laser hair removal treatments is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tansavatdi. She will explain what to expect from Diolaze based on your hair color, hair coarseness, skin tone, and the area being treated.
Patients begin to see a reduction in hair growth after the first three sessions. However, subsequent sessions are needed to treat hair follicles as they develop. Most patients experience an 85% reduction in hair growth after six treatments.
Any pain is limited and tolerable due to the built-in patented cooling plate in Diolaze’s laser handpiece. Because Diolaze uses a Sapphire Laser cooling plate to chill the skin, patients do not require any topical or oral pain medication.
Yes. During your consultation, Dr. Tansavatdi will discuss your aesthetic goals and what other treatments may be combined with laser hair removal to achieve the look you desire.
