What is PROGRAM DIODE LASER? How much is it? What does it help with?

Unwanted hair in various areas is a concern for many people, whether it be armpit hair, arm hair, leg hair, or other areas, which affects confidence and skin beauty. Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, plucking, or waxing often provide only temporary results and may cause subsequent problems such as ingrown hairs, chicken skin, or skin inflammation. Laser hair removal innovation has therefore become a highly popular alternative, and one of the most outstanding technologies is the Program Diode Laser. So, what is Program Diode? What is its working principle, and who does it answer the needs for? Let’s take a look.

What is PROGRAM DIODE LASER?

Program Diode is a hair removal technology using laser light energy with various wavelengths (ranging from 800-1,350 nanometers) fired into the skin to directly destroy hair root cells. This slows down the new hair growth cycle; new hair growing back will be thinner and gradually decrease in quantity until almost invisible. It is considered a hair removal method that provides long-term results and high efficiency.

Working Principle of PROGRAM DIODE LASER

The working principle of the Diode laser is using a process called “Selective Photothermolysis”.
The machine emits light energy in a wavelength range designed to be best absorbed by melanin pigment in the hair root. When the hair root absorbs the light energy, the energy transforms into heat to destroy the hair root cells and the blood vessels nourishing them. This causes the hair root to atrophy and stop growing without damaging the surrounding skin tissue.

Highlights of PROGRAM DIODE LASER

  • Suitable for all skin tones: With various wavelengths, energy can be adjusted to suit different skin conditions and hair colors, from fair skin to dark skin.
  • Less pain: Most Diode Laser machines come with a shooting head featuring cooling technology, helping protect the upper skin layer and reducing pain during treatment, causing only a warm sensation on the skin.
  • Removes hair to the root: Energy can go deep down to the hair root, effectively destroying the source of hair growth.
  • Solves various skin problems: Besides hair removal, Diode laser technology stimulates collagen under the skin, helping skin become smoother, pores tighter, and effectively reducing ingrown hairs or chicken skin problems.
  • Large spot size: Suitable for hair removal in large areas like legs or arms because the shooting head is large, allowing for quick completion.

What problems does PROGRAM DIODE LASER help solve?

  • Removes unwanted hair on almost every part of the body, such as armpits, mustache, beard, arms, legs, chest, back, and bikini area.
  • Reduces ingrown hair problems caused by hair not growing out through the skin layer.
  • Reduces chicken skin problems, making the skin smoother.
  • Helps tighten pores, making the skin in the laser-treated area look smooth and refined.
  • Rejuvenates skin condition to look brighter from stimulating new collagen creation.

Who is PROGRAM DIODE LASER suitable for?

  • People who want effective hair removal with long-lasting results.
  • People with ingrown hair or chicken skin problems from other hair removal methods.
  • People who want convenience and don’t want to waste time shaving or waxing often.
  • People with sensitive skin or who feel pain easily, as Diode laser is a gentler option than some other lasers.
  • Suitable for people with dark hair on skin that is not too dark, because the laser captures melanin pigment in the hair best.

What are the steps and methods for PROGRAM DIODE LASER?

Knowing all the steps will help us prepare correctly and better understand the working process of this procedure.

Preparation Before Treatment

  • Stop plucking or waxing hair for at least 3-4 weeks before treatment so the laser can detect hair roots, but you can remove hair by shaving.
  • Avoid sunlight for about 1-2 weeks to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
  • Stop using skin exfoliating products and avoid scrubbing the skin in the area to be treated with laser.
  • Keep skin moisturized regularly; this will help reduce the chance of burning sensations occurring during treatment.

Treatment Procedure

  • Staff will clean the skin and shave the hair in the area to be treated to a suitable length.
  • Cooling gel is applied to the skin to act as an energy conductor, help the shooting head move smoothly, and provide a comfortable feeling on the skin.
  • The doctor or specialist will adjust the machine’s energy settings to suit the skin condition and hair. Then, they start shooting the laser part by part until covering the desired area, taking about 10-30 minutes depending on the area size.
  • After finishing Program Diode Laser, staff will wipe off the gel, clean, and apply moisturizer to add hydration and reduce irritation.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Cold Compress: If there is swelling, redness, or a burning sensation, you can apply a cold compress to relieve symptoms.
  • Apply Moisturizer: You should apply gentle moisturizing cream or lotion regularly.
  • Avoid Heat and Sunlight: Refrain from very hot showers and saunas, and avoid direct sunlight exposure for about 1 week, along with applying high SPF sunscreen regularly.
  • Avoid Disturbing Skin: Do not pluck or wax any new hair that may grow, and avoid scrubbing the skin in the treated area for about 1-2 weeks.

Pros and Cons of PROGRAM DIODE LASER

Pros of PROGRAM DIODE

  • Can remove hair effectively on various skin types.
  • Has a cooling system to reduce pain and protect the upper skin layer, causing only minimal pain.
  • Helps solve other skin problems simultaneously, such as ingrown hairs and large pores.
  • Provides satisfactory results and is cost-effective in the long run.

Limitations of PROGRAM DIODE

  • May not yield optimal results in people with very light hair, such as blonde or white hair, because the laser works by targeting melanin pigment, which is scarce in light hair.
  • Requires continuous sessions multiple times to see clear results, which may involve higher costs.
  • Mild redness may occur after treatment.

FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Program Diode Laser painful?

The sensation during Program Diode Laser is mostly not painful, but rather a warm feeling on the skin, similar to a light rubber band snap. Because the machine has a cooling system, it helps reduce pain and prevents skin burns, making it a more comfortable procedure than other types of lasers.

Generally, Program Diode Laser is recommended to be done continuously for about 5–8 sessions, with an interval of about 4–6 weeks between each session. This allows the laser to comprehensively remove hair during the growth phase. After completing the course, the amount of hair will permanently decrease.

The difference between Program YAG and Program Diode is the energy wavelength range. Program YAG Laser has a single wavelength of 1,064 nanometers, which goes deep and is suitable for very dark skin but feels more painful.On the other hand, Program Diode Laser has multiple wavelength ranges, making it adaptable for various uses and gentler, thus suitable for most skin types.
