Laser Hair Removal – Diode & Alexandrite (InMode Technologies)

Selective Photothermolysis for Long-Term Hair Reduction

Overview

GSM MedSpa offers medical-grade laser hair removal using InMode’s advanced Diode (810 nm) and Alexandrite (755 nm) platforms—engineered for safe and effective long-term reduction of unwanted hair across a wide range of skin types. These systems utilize selective photothermolysis to thermally destroy follicular structures responsible for hair growth, resulting in smoother skin and reduced need for shaving, waxing, or depilation. Approved by Health Canada, these devices are clinically validated for performance, safety, and reliability.

Mechanism of Action

Laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and converted to heat, which damages the follicular bulb and bulge region—disrupting the hair growth cycle. The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength is ideal for lighter skin tones and finer hair due to its high melanin affinity, while the 810 nm Diode laser penetrates deeper and is well-tolerated across medium to darker skin types (Fitzpatrick III–V). Treatments are most effective on hair in the anagen (growth) phase.

Indications and Treatment Areas

Laser hair removal is suitable for both men and women and is indicated for:

  • Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
  • Underarms, arms, and forearms
  • Chest, back, shoulders
  • Bikini line, Brazilian, buttocks
  • Legs and toes
  • Folliculitis or ingrown hairs
  • Hormonal hair growth (e.g., PCOS-associated hirsutism)
  • Razor bumps and shaving irritation
Hair density, pigment, and skin tone are evaluated to customize settings and select the optimal wavelength.

Clinical Considerations

Because laser hair removal targets melanin, it is less effective on grey, white, blonde, or very fine hair. Multiple sessions (typically 6–8) spaced 4–6 weeks apart are required for cumulative follicular damage. Patients should avoid waxing, tweezing, and sun exposure prior to treatment. Post-procedure effects may include transient redness, mild swelling, or perifollicular edema—all of which typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Maintenance sessions may be recommended annually depending on hormonal influence and treatment area.

Summary

InMode’s Diode and Alexandrite laser platforms deliver powerful, selective hair reduction with high efficacy and patient safety. GSM MedSpa’s individualized approach ensures precise energy delivery for each skin type, allowing for consistent long-term results and a smoother, more confident you—with significantly reduced hair regrowth and lasting skin smoothness.
