Glossary Diode Laser

semiconductor device that emits coherent light for hair removal

A diode laser is a type of laser that uses a semiconductor as its light-emitting medium. It is commonly used in various applications, including hair removal, due to its ability to target specific wavelengths that can effectively penetrate the skin and reach hair follicles. This precision allows for efficient and relatively painless hair reduction treatments.
