Lumecca IPL Photofacial
Shaving, waxing, and tweezing are a never-ending cycle — and none of them actually solve the problem. Diolaze laser hair removal targets hair at the follicle, so you spend less time maintaining and more time simply being ready. At Dr. Janet Blanchard's Plastic Surgery Center in Willoughby Hills, we've built our laser hair removal program around comfort, speed, and results that hold up over time.
What Is Diolaze Laser Hair Removal?
Diolaze uses advanced diode laser technology to deliver energy directly to the hair follicle, disabling its ability to produce new hair. A large treatment window covers more surface area per pulse than older laser systems, which means full-leg or full-back sessions move quickly instead of dragging on. An integrated cooling tip keeps the skin comfortable throughout, so treatment feels like a warm tap rather than a snap.
What to Expect
Hair grows in cycles, so a full course of treatment — typically 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart — is what produces lasting reduction. Each session itself is fast: small areas take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with only mild, short-lived redness around the treated follicles.
Areas We Treat
• Face: upper lip, chin, jawline
• Underarms
• Bikini line and Brazilian
• Legs, arms, and back
• Chest and abdomen
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Most patients who are tired of the cost and upkeep of regular shaving, waxing, or plucking are good candidates. Hormonal changes, certain medications, and skin conditions can affect candidacy and expected results, which is why every new patient starts with a consultation to review medical history, hair type, and treatment goals before a plan is built.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
The built-in cooling tip keeps sessions comfortable for most patients — expect warmth and mild pressure rather than sharp pain.
Does Diolaze hurt?
Downtime is minimal. Expect mild redness for a few hours and temporary darkening of treated spots as they resolve over the following days.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Diolaze produces long-term hair reduction. Most patients see a dramatic, lasting decrease in hair growth, with occasional touch-up sessions to manage any regrowth over time.
What skin tones can be treated?
Diolaze's diode technology is designed to work safely across a wide range of skin tones. Your provider will confirm candidacy and set expectations at your consultation.
