Our Diode Laser treatment is a highly effective way to reduce unwanted hair. It works by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, gently heating it to stop hair from growing back. This method is safe for all skin types and is widely recognised as the gold standard.
The treatment works by reflecting light in different ranges that are absorbed by the melanin around the hair follicle. heating it up and destroying the root and blood flow to the follicle. At SoKo Clinic our Diode lasers have integrated cooling technology, ensuring a more comfortable experience and better results.
All laser hair removal treatments require a patch test prior to the treatment.
