The INMODE Triton Laser has multi-wavelength hair reduction energies that work synergistically to treat a wide range of hair reduction concerns. During treatment, laser beams of the most advanced hair reduction wavelengths  pass through the skin targeting the hair follicles. This penetrating energy is absorbed by the hair, which is then transferred into heat, damaging the stem cells to prevent future hair growth. Our Triton laser is the first and only FDA cleared device to have simultaneous firing of multiple wavelengths on a hair reduction device, which allows us to safely treat all skin types. 

Most areas require at least 6-8  treatments. Note that the number required depends on hair thickness, area treated, & hair cycle.

It is important to note that hair grows in cycles and that hairs in the active growth phase respond better to laser treatments. At any given time, your hair is in various stages of growth. Optimal clearance depends on several variables, including hair density, colour and hormonal factors; therefore, the number of treatments needed will vary.  In some instances, laser hair reduction can be a lifelong commitment. With each hair reduction treatment, patients can expect to notice a progressive lessening in the amount of hair in the area. It is important to consider that patient compliance can alter results.

Diolaze XL is safe for all skin types: even the darkest of skin referred to as skin type IV. The 3PC cooling keeps the skin at a comfortable temperature and prevents damaging or burning the skin. The laser only targets the pigment in the hair follicles to heat and destroy the follicle. 

Most common side effects experienced after a laser hair reduction session are erythema (redness) and follicular edema (swelling) at the treatment site – which may last for a few hours. The application of ice or a cold compress will reduce the discomfort and swelling and you may also use an oral, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, such as acetaminophen.

​

As with any laser or light-based treatment, there is a rare risk for hyper-pigmentation (darkening of the skin), hypo-pigmentation (lightening of the skin), and burns. These risks are higher in those with darker or more tanned skin.

PRE PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

​

• The area to be treated must be clean shaved on the day or the day before your appointment

• NO waxing, plucking, using depilatory (hair removal cream) or any other hair removal practices prior.

• NO sun exposure, tanning beds, self tanner such as creams or sprays at least two weeks before. Active tans CANNOT be treated. 

• NO photosensitive medications few prior (ex. antibiotics, Doxycycline, Tricyclic antidepressants, Quinidine, Amiodarone) 

• NO skin irritants 24 hours prior (ex. Products contain tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.) 

• If you have history of Herpes Simplex Virus or cold sores, you must premediate one day prior to prevent further outbreaks.

​

POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS 

​

• Immediately after treatment, there should be redness and swelling at the treatment site which may last two hours to several days.​​​

  • Apply a cold towel or an ice pack if the treated area is extremely warm and it's not cooling down.​

  • Apply Aloe Vera or Vitamin E post -treatment daily to smooth irritations.

• Hydrocortisone 1.5% (purchased in ointment or cream form) can also be applied to decrease symptoms.​

• Apply sunscreen on the treatment area daily (if exposed to the sun). It should be at least SPF 30

• Pre-book your next appointment (about 4-6 weeks). Consistent sessions give the best results.

​

​

WHAT NOT TO DO: 

​

• Avoid any activities that will cause sweating (exercising, hot shower, hot saunas, etc.) for a minimum of 12 hours. No sexual activities if you had a Brazilian treatment done. 

• Avoid shaving right after. Wait a few days until it is no longer sensitive to touch. Try to leave the hairs alone as excessive shaving may stimulate the hair growth 

• NO skin irritants (i.e. glycolic acids, retinoids, etc.) for a few days after treatment 

• Absolutely NO plucking, waxing, using a depilatory or undergo electrolysis in between sessions

• No sun exposure after laser treatment ​

• Avoid waiting too long in between sessions as this will slow down the process. Area should be treated every 4-6 weeks.
