Arctic Diode Hair Removal FAQ
What Exactly is Arctic Diode Laser Hair Removal?
You will be pleased to learn that this form of permanent hair reduction and is not only painless, it is the safest option currently on today's market! Using the most up-to-date technology, the method proves timely and efficient when carried out by a trained professional.
How does it Work?
In essence, the Arctic Diode treatment is designed to cause long lasting damage to target hair follicles. This in turn prevents the regrowth of the hair. By gently heating over the required area, the applicator used varies in temperature to ensure maximum effect. Released are short and gentle energy pulses that directly target the hair follicle whilst dissuading return.
How long will the actual treatment take?
Lucky for customers, they can pop a cross on a dinner hour. The treatment itself can take as little as five minutes! If the area is relatively small and this will be reflected in the allocated time. A facial treatment will take an average 15 minutes with both legs eating into just 30 minutes of your lunch break - ideal!
How many treatments will I need to achieve the required results?
For permanent hair removal to be successful you will need around six sessions. This will be discussed with you upon initial enquiry as we like to ensure our clients are fully informed of all aspects when it comes to the treatments we offer. During a session the energy is actually applied over a large area. It is not specific to the home of the hair follicle. This works towards improving not only treatment times but results as well.
Is Diode permanent hair removal suitable for everyone?
Diode is one of the only treatments available offering suitability for all skin types. Remember, this method involves heating and cooling as opposed to follicle exposure via high intensity pulses. This option works extremely well for fair haired people whilst posing no issues at all during the summer months when tans have been developed. This procedure is suitable all year round.
Is it safe?
From the clinical studies undertaken, the diode has been proven to be the safest method of light based hair reduction for all skin types. Melanin and found within darker skin is known to be much more sensitive to the heat when used in light based treatments. There are no such issues presented with this option.
Is preparation required before my treatment?
In order for the treatment to be as successful as it possibly can be there are a few requirements to take on board:
Please ensure the area to be treated is free from all topical solutions. Shaving is required 2 to 12 hours prior -any sooner can result in heightened sensitivity during the process. Avoid exposure to the sun for a minimum of three days before treatment - Whilst tanned skin is absolutely fine to work with, the tan cannot be active in order to achieve maximum results. cease use of tanning creams two weeks before treatment. Avoid bleaching, plucking, waxing, epilation and any other forms of hair removal for 4 weeks prior. Do not use essential oils 48 hours prior. Depilatory creams should be avoided one week before treatment commences. Cold sore medication can be taken five days before and five days after treatment. Should you be on antibiotics it is recommended to leave a two week gap between taking them and starting treatment.

So I've had my treatment - what's the aftercare routine?
Soothing lotions such as aloe Vera can be used should any redness or swelling occur -this is highly unlikely. It is recommended to avoid perfumes and deodorants for 24 -48 hours after treatment. hot baths, saunas, jacuzzi, Massage or athletic activities are best to avoid for two to three days after treatment. Post treatment sun exposure is not recommended and due to increased skin sensitivity we suggest a factor 30 to be on the safe side alongside no sun beds for four days. Antihistamines are perfect for alleviating any her itches that rarely arise. Avoid skin care containing AHA, Glycolic acid, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid (Retina A) for 3-5 days after treatment
Why is there a wait time of 4 weeks between each session?
As our hair has different stages of growth, it's ideal to focus the session on the same stage each time, this will provide optimal results.
Can the Diode help with ingrown hairs?
Yes, the Diode works much better than IPL when it comes to the reduction of ingrown hairs. For even better results we suggest that you scrub two days before your session to help get rid of dead skin, this is so that the laser light reaches the ingrown hair effectively.
