Using FDA approved equipment, the doctor will select the appropriate output.
- Hair removal treatment at medical institutions has become common practice. It is a medical procedure that can only be performed by a doctor, or a nurse under the supervision of a doctor.
- We use the diode laser made by Lumenis, which is safe and highly effective for hair removal. It has been approved by the FDA, and its irradiation has been verified and reported by academic societies, making it a safe and effective treatment.
- Because of the cooling device on the tip, the pain during treatment is mild. There will be mild redness in the treated area which will subside in a few hours.
The pain during irradiation has been greatly reduced.
This model irradiates while suctioning the irradiated area.
By suctioning and stretching the skin, the the contact of melanin in the skin is reduced of melanin in the skin is reduced, and the irradiation energy is more focused on the target hair root.
This reduces skin damage less energy is needed to irradiate the laser.
The pain during irradiation is very minimal.
Hair Removal Method
The spot size is 33 x 22mm, which is a large aperture, and the area per irradiation is much larger too. However, the treatment time has been significantly reduced to 1/3 of that of conventional medical laser hair removal devices. Also, the application of cooling gel is no longer necessary.
① Suction
The handpiece sucks the skin and pulls the hair follicles up to its surface.
② Laser irradiation
The laser power solely focuses on the melanin pigment in the hair roots, effectively damaging it.
③ Switch off suction
Damaged hairs will naturally shed in a week.
A hand piece with a built-in cooling system is used for smaller areas. The laser irradiates while the skin is protected with cooling gel.
- Cooling system protects the skin.
① The laser irradiates while the skin is protected with cooling gel.
② Laser energy concentrates on melanin pigment and destroys hair roots.
③ The hair matrix is destroyed and the hair roots shed, resulting in permanent hair removal.
Diode lasers are the most durable and efficient laser. In laser hair removal, the hair roots under the skin are destroyed when the laser light is absorbed by melanin, and the hair follicles are also destroyed, thereby inhibiting hair regrowth.
When irradiating, the ideal laser should minimize damage to the epidermis and only have a thermal effect on the hair roots.
The diode laser used in our clinic has a cooling device attached to the irradiation port, which is pressed directly against the skin so the level of pain and possibility of skin burns are much lower than with the Alexandrite laser which was used in the past.
It is the first device in the world to be approved by the FDA , so we get excellent hair removal results.
- We take all possible precautions against pain.
For those who are particularly sensitive to pain, we use strong anesthesia cream and we administer a local anesthetic. - This hair removal method is quick.
We use the latest medical laser hair removal equipment with higher output power than conventional equipment, so hair removal can be completed faster.

How is our medical treatment different from treatment at an aesthetic salon?
Naturally, medical treatment is prohibited in aesthetic salons.
Laser hair removal, hair removal using light rays, electric needle hair removal, and other medical procedures are all prohibited.
In addition, lasers that are proven to be effective are classified as medical devices, so they can only be used in medical institutions.
You will often see places that offer hair removal with flash lamps or other methods, but these are completely different from laser hair removal.
With regard to these other methods and the quality of the equipment, there is a risk of burns, and in most cases, it takes more than twice as many treatments to achieve the desired results.
In fact, there are many people who are unsatisfied with hair removal at aesthetic salons who have begun medical laser hair removal, instead.
In order to protect the skin and keep it beautiful, we recommend medical laser hair removal, which has been established as safe and effective.
Self-treatment of unwanted hair
Razor / Shaver
Hair removal tools
Depilatory cream
These self-treatments can damage the epidermis, causing rough, dry, and itchy skin.
Certain creams and tapes can cause skin irritation and pigmentation damage.
Precautions
Hair cycle
- The hair cycle consists of the anagen phase, catagen phase, and telogen phase. Hair in the telogen phase has little melanin pigment so it does not react to the laser, therefore laser irradiation is performed in accordance with the hair growth cycle. Normally, treatments are performed every 1-2 months.
- Please refrain from plucking or removing any hair before treatment. If the hair is removed, the laser will not react with the hair root.
- Avoid exposure to strong ultraviolet rays after irradiation.
- You can take a shower on the same day after treatment, but please refrain from rubbing your skin with a towel.
- If you have any skin problems before, or after irradiation, please consult your doctor.
- On the day of treatment, please come to the clinic without wearing anything on your skin, e.g., sunscreen or antiperspirant.
- Although rare, hardening and bristling of the hair may occur after laser irradiation. The frequency of occurrence varies depending on the area.
