Diolaze - Laser Hair Removal

How many areas can I get treated in one appointment?

There is a maximum of 4 mini areas, 4 small areas, 2 mediums areas, 1 large area, and 1 extra-large area per appointment.

What is Diolaze?

Diolaze is a diode laser hair removal system that uses advanced laser technology to target and eliminate unwanted hair.

How does Diolaze work?

Diolaze works by emitting laser energy that is selectively absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles. The energy heats the follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.

What areas can be treated with Diolaze?

Diolaze is versatile and can be used to treat unwanted hair on various body areas, including the face, legs, arms, bikini line, back, and more.

Is Diolaze painful?

Diolaze is designed to be a comfortable procedure. The device has a built-in cooling system that helps minimize discomfort during treatment.

How many Diolaze treatments are needed to see results?

The number of treatments varies depending on factors such as hair color, thickness, and the treatment area. Typically, a series of sessions, often spaced a few weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results.

When will I see results from Diolaze?

Some reduction in hair growth may be noticeable after the first treatment, but significant and lasting results usually become evident after completing the recommended series of sessions.

Is there any downtime after Diolaze treatments?

There is usually minimal downtime with Diolaze. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Can Diolaze be used on all skin types?

Diolaze is generally safe for a variety of skin types. However, the effectiveness of the treatment may vary based on factors such as hair color and skin tone. Consultation with a skincare professional is crucial for personalized advice.

What are the common side effects of Diolaze?

Common side effects include temporary redness and mild swelling in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day.

Can Diolaze be used on facial hair?

Yes, Diolaze can be used to safely and effectively remove unwanted facial hair. It is essential to follow proper safety guidelines and settings for facial treatments.

How long do the results of Diolaze last?

Diolaze provides long-lasting hair reduction, but maintenance sessions may be needed over time to address any new hair growth.

Is Diolaze safe?

When performed by a trained and qualified professional, Diolaze is considered a safe and effective method for laser hair removal. It is crucial to follow recommended guidelines for pre and post-treatment care.

The purpose of this consent form is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment with Diolaze. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your Crawford Cosmetics provider.

If you have any questions regarding the procedure, ask your Crawford Cosmetics provider prior to signing this consent form.

TREATMENT GOALS AND DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE Diolaze is a non-invasive technology that utilizes Diode laser for hair removal with highest speed and the best skin cooling system for hairs of dark blond to black color. Diolaze safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair with an advanced laser hair removal treatment by permanently destroying the root of hair follicles. During laser treatment, a diode laser beam is targeted towards the hair follicles. The penetrating energy then heats up the root of the hair, effectively destroying that root and preventing future hair growth.

TREATMENT RESULTS Most patients are pleased with the results of their Diolaze treatment. However, like any aesthetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. I acknowledge that while good results are expected, I may be disappointed with the results of the procedure. I understand there is no guarantee of results of any treatment. Even though appropriate measures are taken to reduce side effects, they cannot be completely eliminated in every case. I understand that the treatment may involve risks of complication or injury from both known and unknown causes. I agree to follow the pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully. I understand that compliance with the recommended pre- and post-procedure guidelines is crucial for healing and reducing the risk of complications.

POST DIOLAZE INSTRUCTIONS

FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT

● Hair is reduced with each treatment, however, Diolaze needs to be performed every 4-6 weeks until the final results are achieved.

● Most patients need 4-6 treatments, but this varies depending on multiple factors, including the thickness of your hair, skin color, hair color, and how much hair you want removed.

● Multiple sessions are required because Diolaze (and any hair removal technology) can only treat hair follicles that are actively growing, and only about 20-30% of your hair follicles are active at any given time. The 4-6 week waiting period is set to ensure that the next group of hair follicles is active.
