When to consider Laser Hair Removal with Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ponsky

If you are looking for a way to remove unwanted body hair without painful waxing and plucking, laser hair removal with the Diolaze laser is for you!  Diolaze is an advanced, effective, gentle laser hair removal system to permanently remove hair on the face and body. It is the newest technology cleared by the FDA for the safe removal of unwanted hair.  The areas we treat include upper arms and forearms, back, chest, chin and neck, sideburns, facial region.  Diolaze has a built in cooling surface which makes treatment more comfortable than other devices.

How It Helps

 

Laser hair removal helps with permanent reduction or elimination of unwanted hair. Diolaze laser hair removal requires a series of treatments so that it can target hair follicles in their mature stage.  Best results are obtained after 4-6 sessions. The number of sessions varies with your hair color and your hair type, as well as body area.

Before

What to expect before laser hair removal

Avoid plucking or waxing 2-4 wks before treatment.  The laser targets the hair roots which are temporarily removed if waxing or plucking is performed in advance.  Sun exposure should be avoided for 4-6 wks after and before treatment.  Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications like hyperpigmentation more likely after treatment, especially in darker skin types.

During

What to expect during laser hair removal

During your session, we will evaluate the area to make sure there are no open sores or any irritation.  Then both you and the specialist will wear protective eyewear.  A gel will be applied to the area to  be treated which works in combination with the laser to cool the area. After treatment, cool gel is applied to soothe the skin.  You may apply cool compresses if you like to improve the sensation.

After

What to expect after laser hair removal

The area treated can feel like a sunburn.  Use aloe vera to calm that area, along with other moisturizers.  Use sunblock SPF30 for 1 week after to avoid hyperpigmentation after the procedure.  The hair will fall out over the next month.  You may have some redness the day of the procedure. You will need a series of procedures to catch the hair follicles in their mature stage, usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

  • Dr Ponsky’s staff are full of energy and very friendly. They are extremely personable, and worked to ensure that I felt comfortable and had everything I needed (down to a blanket during the procedure). Dr Ponsky is thorough, sweet, and gentle in her explanations. She made sure to explain the answers to each of my questions and I never felt rushed/forced to make a decision. I love the fact that we could do the entire procedure under local anesthesia.
