Laser hair reduction
Diolaze Hair Removal in Munich-Bogenhausen
Diolaze uses laser energy to thermally affect structures involved in the growth of pigmented hair. Several sessions are necessary because hairs go through different growth phases.

How does Diolaze laser hair removal work?
The laser energy is absorbed by the hair pigment and converted into heat. The aim is to affect structures in the hair follicle that are involved in hair growth.
Skin type, hair colour, hair thickness, degree of tanning and the area being treated determine the appropriate device settings.
Why several sessions are necessary
Hairs are in different growth phases at any given time. The active growth phase is particularly relevant to treatment. A single session therefore cannot target every hair.
The number and spacing of appointments vary according to the area and the response to treatment. A fixed number of sessions cannot guarantee complete hair removal.
Which hairs respond best?
Darker, coarser hairs generally respond better to melanin-targeting laser procedures because they contain more pigment. Very fair, white or grey hair responds significantly less well, or not at all.
Suitability must be assessed particularly carefully for fine hair or hair influenced by hormones.
Long-term hair reduction rather than being permanently hair-free
The aim is a long-term reduction in hair growth. Hormonal changes, age, medication and other biological factors can influence new hair growth later on.
New hair growth can occur even after a course of treatment; remaining completely hair-free for life is not a realistic expectation.
Preparation
During a course of treatment, hair in the treated area should not be waxed, epilated or plucked. Shaving is possible and is generally required before an appointment.
Shaving, sun exposure and the skincare products you use are discussed individually before the appointment.
Sun exposure, skin type and device settings
A current tan can change how the skin absorbs light and increase the risk of adverse reactions. Sun exposure, self-tanning products and skin condition must therefore be considered when scheduling treatment.
Possible reactions and risks
Possible reactions include redness, swelling, burns, blisters, crusting, pigmentation changes and, rarely, scarring. Skin type, degree of tanning and hair characteristics determine the device settings.
Frequently asked questions
Very fair, white or grey hair contains little or no melanin and responds significantly less well, or not at all, to melanin-targeting laser procedures.
Shaving is generally possible. Waxing, epilating and plucking can remove the hair structure needed for treatment and should be avoided during the course.
No. The aim is long-term reduction. Biological and hormonal factors can influence further hair growth later on.
This depends on the area, skin type, tanning and sun exposure. Treatment is planned individually.
