How Diolaze Works
Diolaze, also known as Diolaze XL, uses diode laser technology to target unwanted hair at its root. Here’s what happens during the process:
- Targeting the follicle – The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that seeks out pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft.
- Heat conversion – The light converts to heat, traveling down the shaft to the follicle.
- Disabling regrowth – The heat damages or disables the follicle’s ability to grow new hair.
- Skin cooling – Built-in cooling technology protects the skin and enhances comfort during the procedure.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat follicles at the right stage for maximum effectiveness.
What to Expect During Diolaze Treatment
Treatment Time
Small areas like the upper lip or underarms can take just a few minutes, while larger areas like legs or back may require 20–60 minutes. Diolaze’s larger handpiece allows for faster treatments compared to older systems.
Comfort and Sensation
Most clients describe the feeling as a mild snap or warmth. The built-in cooling surface minimizes discomfort, making Diolaze one of the most comfortable laser hair removal treatments available.
After the Session
You may experience slight redness or swelling that feels like a mild sunburn. These effects typically fade within a few hours. There is virtually no downtime, so you can return to daily activities immediately—just avoid heavy sweating, hot showers, or direct sun exposure for a day or two.
The Hair Shedding Process
In the days and weeks following treatment, you’ll notice treated hairs begin to shed naturally. This is a normal part of the process, as the damaged follicles release hair that was already growing. Shedding usually begins within 1–3 weeks.
Each session progressively reduces regrowth, and new hair that does appear tends to be finer, lighter, and sparser.
How Many Diolaze Sessions You’ll Need
Most patients need four to six sessions spaced about four to eight weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair color, thickness, skin tone, and the area being treated.
After completing the initial series, some clients return once or twice a year for touch-ups to maintain smooth results. With consistency, many achieve up to 90% reduction in unwanted hair.

Downtime and Side Effects
Diolaze is known for its minimal downtime and gentle approach. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
To ensure optimal healing and results:
- Avoid tanning, saunas, or intense heat for a couple of days.
- Use gentle skincare products on treated areas.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin.
Serious side effects are rare when treatments are performed by trained professionals.
