Shaving, waxing, and plucking can be time consuming and annoying. Many men and women want a long-term solution for smooth, hairless skin. At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa in River North, we offer DiolazeXL, one of the most advanced laser hair removal technologies available today. It is faster, more comfortable, and safe for a wider range of skin types and hair colors than older laser hair removal devices.

What is DiolazeXL Laser Hair Removal?

DiolazeXL is an advanced hair removal system that combines two laser wavelengths with a superior cooling feature. This allows it to target the root of the hair follicle while protecting the skin’s surface. We offer effective hair reduction with improved safety and comfort compared to older technologies.

How Does DiolazeXL Work?

DiolazeXL uses two wavelengths: 755nm Alexandrite and 810nm Diode. These wavelengths are absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, which disables the follicle and prevents future growth.

The 755nm wavelength works best on lighter skin tones and finer hair
The 810nm wavelength penetrates deeper and is highly effective for darker skin tones and coarse hair

By combining both wavelengths in one device, DiolazeXL treats a wider range of skin-types than many traditional single-wavelength lasers.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Older laser hair removal devices were often described as uncomfortable. Our DiolazeXL laser hair removal technology includes an advanced triple cooling system that protects the skin throughout treatment.

Pre cooling prepares the skin before each pulse
Parallel cooling protects the surface of the skin during treatment
Post cooling soothes the skin immediately after each pulse

This makes the procedure virtually painless for most patients.

How Long Do Treatments Take?

One of the biggest advantages of DiolazeXL is speed. The device has a large treatment area which allows our providers to cover skin more efficiently. Large areas such as the legs or back can be treated in just minutes. For example, one leg can be completed in about 10 minutes or less.

You will also likely need fewer sessions than with older technologies, saving both time and cost over the full course of treatment.

Is DiolazeXL Laser Hair Removal Safe for All Skin Types?

The combination of dual wavelengths and advanced cooling makes DiolazeXL safe for more skin tones than many older laser hair removal devices. This includes patients with darker skin, who are sometimes at higher risk of burns or pigmentation changes with other systems.

The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!
