Laser hair removal remains one of the most in-demand services in the aesthetics industry. As more clients seek permanent solutions to unwanted hair, providers need technology that’s fast, effective, and safe across all skin types. That’s why diode laser hair removal machines, specifically the MeDioStar®, have become a solution for practices aiming to deliver excellent results and grow their laser hair removal business.
Let’s take a closer look at the key features of diode laser hair removal and how the Asclepion MeDioStar®, backed by Astanza, stands out among professional laser hair removal machines.
What is a Diode Laser Hair Removal Machine?
A diode laser hair removal machine emits a concentrated beam of light to heat and dissolve the hair follicle. The diode laser’s 810 nm wavelength targets the melanin in the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. With this hair removal laser, patients can effectively get unwanted hair removed compared to traditional methods like waxing or shaving.
Diode lasers are known for their speed, efficiency, and ability to treat all skin types safely. The MeDioStar® builds on these strengths with Astanza’s leading technology and award-winning support.
Key Features to Look For in Diode Lasers
Investing in a diode laser hair removal machine is a significant step for any aesthetic practice or medspa. With various devices to choose from, it’s important to know which features impact performance, safety, and the long-term value of the laser. Whether you’re starting a laser hair removal business or upgrading your current equipment, below are some key features to prioritize when evaluating the technology.
Wavelengths
The ideal wavelength to target melanin in hair follicles is the 810 nm wavelength. While some devices use Nd:YAG (1064 nm) or Alexandrite (755 nm), the 810 nm wavelength in diode lasers offers the safest treatment option across all skin types while continuing to be effective on melanin absorption.
With the MeDioStar®, you can go further with your treatments thanks to the dual-wavelength emission (810 nm + 940 nm), which allows even deeper penetration and safer treatments across all Fitzpatrick skin types. This versatility broadens your potential client base and reduces limitations in the treatments.
Spot Size Versatility
Having multiple handpieces with unique spot sizes allows you to treat any area in minutes! It can also help your treatments be more accurate, precise, and effective. The MeDioStar® provides just that with its four handpieces to choose from — Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large.
Primarily treat upper lips and underarms? The Small 10×10 mm handpiece is great for targeting smaller areas that will leave your patients’ skin smooth in no time.
Looking for an effective solution for clients dealing with unwanted hair on their backs or legs? Our Extra-Large handpiece, featuring the largest spot size on the market at 31.5 x 31.5 mm, allows for efficient hair removal. Complete treatments in 15 minutes or less, making it an ideal option for a quick “lunch-time” session!
Built-In Skin Cooling
Besides having a treatment that works, patients tend to come back to a practice that prioritizes their comfort. That’s why it’s important to look for a diode laser hair removal machine that integrates contact cooling into its handpieces. The MeDioStar® is able to provide this feature thanks to the Monolith handpieces and their skin cooling technology.
User-Friendly Interface
To create the most efficient treatment during each session, your diode laser should have a touchscreen interface. With the MeDioStar®, you can quickly select treatment settings based on patient skin type and hair characteristics, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent results.
Service and Support
Lastly, your laser should be designed to keep up with your clientele with minimal downtime. Choosing a provider that offers training, service, and marketing support will ensure that your diode laser continues performing effectively throughout its lifetime.
With Astanza, your practice can have the support it needs thanks to the 3-Business Day Service Guarantee, Lifetime Training and Clinical Support, and our Business Builder System.
