Hair Removal by Laser
Imagine a hair-removal treatment that doesn't involve regular battles with razors, hot wax, or Laser Epilation medical lotions that smell like a chemical plant. Laser hair removal may sound like something out of Star Wars, but it's the greatest beauty breakthrough since the invention of the blow-dryer.
How does laser hair removal work?
Lasers have been used for many years for a variety of medical cosmetic procedures, including treatment of facial and leg veins, age spots and smoothing fine lines on the face.
The laser energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unchanged.
What are lasers' advantages for hair removal?
Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking and waxing provide only temporary relief. Laser hair removal is non-invasive and safely removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in under 45 minutes; legs and larger areas can take longer.
Choosing the right system
Choosing the right system is the most important step in the entire process of laser epilation. The following guide will help you match the correct system with the general criteria necessary for successful usage.
What is your skill level?
If you are new to laser epilation it is advisable that you consider the DM2000, DM4000 or the SDL15 machines first. These systems are very easy to operate and give excellent results. The output power is ideal for safe and effective laser epilation.
Should you discover in the future that your preference is for an alternate system, we will gladly exchange your previous machine for a new one.
Speed of Treatment
You will want to go with a larger beam size combined with greater energy density (fluence) if you are working on large areas to increase efficiency. The SDL30, SDL50 and SDL100 systems are perfectly suited for rapid and efficient laser epilation and can clear a woman's legs or a man's back in just about 30 to 60 minutes.
The DM2000, DM4000 and SDL15 require a greater investment of time into the treatment to clear large areas, and are best suited for limited areas such as the bikini-line or face.
How Much Power Do You Need?
The general rule of thumb is 30-120 total joules per cm2/sec. for a QCW Pulsed Diode Laser. Applying more than 180 jcm2/sec. could burn your skin (while doing little additional damage to the follicle).
How Fast Do These Systems Clear Large Areas?
For the sake of general comparison, we will look at a 120 square inch (moderately covered) treatment area. This is the equivalent of the average man's chest and abdomen, or woman's upper and lower legs.
Based upon these general characteristics, it is our recommendation that the DM2000 and DM4000 be used for limited facial areas, underarms, bikini line etc.
- The SDL15 is best suited for larger (but also limited) areas.
- The SDL50 and IPL280 are ideal for large (unlimited) areas such as chest, back, legs etc.
- The SDL100 is best used by professionals who treat multiple clients per day.

Featured Laser System: SDL50
Deluxe Diode Laser Hair Removal System
Features more power for fast results!
The SDL50 produces an impressive 130 J/cm2 energy density at 808 nm with a pulse duration of 0.1 seconds. Pulse frequency is user-adjustable from 1-10 emissions per second.
Maximum power output is 350% greater than the recommended level for efficient laser shaving (on hair growth types 3-6: brown and black). Laser shaving is also possible with blond and red hair types (2 and 3) using carbon dye. This system is also excellent for general dermatology procedures, age spot removal, wrinkle reduction, laser resurfacing and more. May also be used for tattoo removal on most inks.
The High Output Diode Laser System is specifically designed to deliver highly concentrated photon energy directly through the skin, thereby targeting hair follicle melanocytes or photo-reactive dyes.
Each power pulse has an effective treatment area of 2 cm wide and feels like a brief pinch. Very few patients would describe the procedure as “painful.”
*For those few individuals who have a high degree of neural sensitivity, the use of a mild topical anesthetic is encouraged.
The SDL50 High Output Diode Laser System has a very comfortable and versatile hand piece. A powerful 5 cfm positive displacement micro-fan keeps the semiconductors cool during use, thereby increasing power, performance and life-expectancy of the diodes.
The instrument is well balanced and amazingly light (under 1 pound), which substantially reduces operator fatigue. A quality metal instrument housing assures that you will have many years of reliable use from your system.
Complete System Includes:
- High Output Diode Laser Hand Piece w/ 130 J/cm2 energy density (fluence)
- Key lockout safety switch
- Laser-enabled system status LED
- Adjustable intensity
- 2 quantity of laser protection eyewear
- 150 ml carbon dye
- Tweezers and instructions.
Average safe and effective values for output intensity (fluence) and pulse frequency are included in the instruction material for various skin photo types.
*If you are using cosmetics on the area to be treated containing retinoids (retin a, tretinoin, altinac, avita, trans retinoic acid, vitamin A acid, tazorac, adapalene, differin), or AHA (alpha hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid), stop using the cosmetic at least two days before the laser treatment. If you have been taking Accutane (isotretinoin), you should be off of it for two to six months before laser treatment. If you have had a micro-dermabrasion on the area to be treated, it is best to wait seven to ten days before laser treatment.
Also approved for Acne Treatment, Laser Peel, Skin Resurfacing, Tattoo Removal and General Dermatology.
*Non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as laser removal are generally classified as ‘exempt’ from local health codes which regulate electrolysis. In most areas, an Electrology license is not required to buy or use this system.
