Laser Hair Removal in Waxhaw

Diolaze gets to the root of your unwanted hair problems. During laser hair removal treatment, a diode laser beam passes through the skin, reaching your hair follicles. The penetrating energy heats up the root, which damages and semi-permanently prevents future hair growth.

Yes! Unlike some other lasers, the Diolaze device allows us to safely treat skin tones from light to dark. Occasionally we will recommend a test-spot to ensure safe results for every client, We’ll work with you during your initial consultation to build a plan that’s right for you.

The number of sessions for your laser hair removal treatment in Waxhaw will differ based on your hair color, hair type, and skin tone. The larger the area we are targeting for hair removal, the longer the appointments will take. In general, hair is reduced with each treatment, and you can expect to see and feel results after 4 to 6 sessions.

We’re so glad you asked! At Dogwood, we are all about your comfort during treatments at our practice. That’s why we invest in the best technology—to help you achieve your best results! Diolaze is an advanced device that covers larger areas in a short amount of time. It also has a built-in cooling system, making the treatment basically painless for you.

Diolaze makes quick work of any treatment. Depending on the size of the area we’ve discussed during your consultation, the treatments can last anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes.

Diolaze can be safely used on most areas of the body that have unwanted hair. Most commonly treated areas include: bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.

Absolutely! If you’re a candidate for laser hair removal in Waxhaw, we can certainly include more than one area in your treatment plan. Discuss this with the team and we’ll target areas that’ll help you feel better in your skin.

At the start of your laser hair removal journey, there can be some discomfort associated with the treatment. This is because the laser reaches the hair follicles, working to break them down. The good news is that with each visit, the follicles thin out, which means your visit is more comfortable. At Dogwood, we are happy to use a numbing gel around to create more comfort during the treatment.

We are so excited to see you and want you to feel prepared! While we’ll go over your pre-care instructions in full at your consultation, a few pointers include:

• If you develop a rash or active skin infection in the area prior to your appointment, please call us to reschedule.
• If you have a special event or vacation coming up, schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks in advance if the area being treated will be visible.
• No waxing, tweezing, or threading hair in the treatment area within the last 6 weeks.
• No direct sun exposure (tanned skin) within the last 3 weeks before your scheduled appointment

You may experience some slight redness and swelling in the treated area. This should subside within 2 days.

We’ll go over post-care instructions during your consultation and before you leave on the day of treatment. A few pointers include:

• No waxing, tweezing, or threading of the hair during the treatment and in between sessions. You may shave if needed, as shaving does not remove the follicle.
• Do not tan in sunlight or a tanning bed for the duration of your scheduled treatments. This can cause hyperpigmentation that can last for a few months!
