Laser Hair Removal In Detroit Metro

Introduction

Introduction to Laser Hair Removal

Diolaze is an advanced laser hair removal treatment device that treats all skin types. It works to achieve a permanent reduction in hair growth. The diode laser emits energy targeted towards the hair follicle. The energy emitted heats the root of the hair, destroying the pigmentation and preventing the growth of strong, healthy hair. If you are interested in laser hair removal in the Detroit area, please schedule a consultation at L’Atelier MedSpa, which is run under the leadership of double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Compton.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive way to target hair follicles. During a laser hair removal session at L’Ateleir MedSpa, the Diolaze device emits energy to target hair follicles, eliminating them and reducing hair growth. Laser hair removal works best for individuals with the greatest contrast between their skin color and hair color. Dr. Compton recommends scheduling 2-3 sessions, approximately 6-8 weeks apart, for those interested in completely deactivating their hair follicles. Some of the popular target areas of the body to be treated include:

  • Armpits
  • Back
  • Bikini area
  • Chest
  • Chin
  • Facial areas
  • Legs
  • Neck
  • Sideburns

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

On the day of your laser hair removal treatment in Troy, Dr. Compton and his staff will welcome you at the state-of-the-art setup at L’Atelier Medspa and get you settled. A member of the staff will review your treatment plan to ensure you are fully comfortable with it. No topical numbing is needed due to the strong cooling system.

Once you are ready, the treatment will begin. The Diolaze cooling system enables the handpiece to cool the treatment area before, during, and after laser energy is emitted, resulting in comfortable and pain-free treatment sessions.

Treatment times vary from 10 minutes to 1 hour. These times vary based on the treatment area.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Patients can return to normal activity right after the treatment sessions. However, they must wear SPF and try to stay out of direct sunlight for at least 48 hours afterward. Patients should not remove hair between sessions except by shaving. For anyone who wants to quit shaving, plucking, tweezing, or waxing, Diolaze laser hair removal is the perfect solution!
