Book Your ConsultationWhat Is Diode Laser Hair Removal?
Diode laser hair removal is the gold standard for permanent hair reduction, using advanced laser technology to target hair follicles at the root. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, destroying the follicle while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. At Lumiere Medspa in Arlington Heights, we use state-of-the-art diode laser technology to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting hair removal for all skin types.
Say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and plucking. Our diode laser treatments provide smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing you to enjoy lasting confidence and convenience.

What to Expect
Before Treatment
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for 4 weeks prior. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment (do not wax or pluck). Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Avoid retinoids and exfoliating products for 3-5 days before treatment.
During Treatment
Treatment time varies by area size (15-60 minutes). We'll cleanse the area and apply a cooling gel. You'll wear protective eyewear. The laser handpiece delivers pulses of light energy to the hair follicles. Most clients describe a warm, snapping sensation. Our advanced cooling technology minimizes discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients achieve optimal results with 6-8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects hair in the active growth phase, so multiple sessions are needed to target all follicles.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
Yes! Our diode laser technology is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, from very light to very dark skin. We customize settings based on your individual skin type and hair color.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a warm snap or rubber band flick. Our advanced cooling technology minimizes discomfort. Sensitivity varies by area most find it very tolerable.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction. Most clients experience 80-95% permanent hair reduction after completing their treatment series. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed for hormonal areas.
Can I shave between treatments?
Yes! You should shave between treatments. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as these remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target.
When will I see results?
Hair will begin shedding 1-3 weeks after treatment. You'll notice progressive reduction with each session. Most clients see significant results after 3-4 treatments.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime! You can return to normal activities immediately. Treated areas may appear slightly pink for a few hours, but this resolves quickly.
