Effective for dark hair, light hair, and red hair

Amsterdam Skin Clinic uses the triple wave diode ICE power laser. This is the latest and most powerful technology in the field of laser hair removal. This power diode ICE laser has 3 wavelengths, allowing us to treat all skin types (I to VI). It is also suitable for dark hair, light hair, and red hair. In addition to its broader capabilities, this device is also safer. Finally, the triple wave power diode laser can be used on sun-tanned skin. In other words, you can also undergo treatment in the summer. This is in contrast to old-fashioned equipment.

The treatment

First, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin. This gel protects the skin and helps to conduct the light more effectively. A powerful laser beam is emitted from the device. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs this light. Then, the hair guides the laser beam to the hair follicle. The energy from the laser beam is converted into heat in the hair follicle. This destroys the hair follicle.

In a diode power laser treatment, you won’t see a flash like with IPL. All the energy from the diode ICE power laser pulse is directed towards the hair follicle. It ensures the permanent removal of the hair follicle. The intake and the first treatment together take about half an hour. This depends on the area to be treated. Are you in doubt beforehand or not sure if you are suitable for this treatment? You can call to discuss this.

When can’t you undergo a Diode Ice laser treatment?

You cannot undergo laser hair removal treatment if you:

• Are using medications that make your skin sensitive to light.
• Take anti-inflammatory medications.
• Have a pacemaker.
• Have piercings or tattoos.
• Haven’t waxed up to 3 weeks prior to the treatment.

How many treatments are typically required?

Each treatment is effective. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. On average, it takes 5-8 treatments to reduce 90% of hair growth.
