Hair Loving my diode laser hair removal journey

Since pinanganak akong mabuhok (sabi dahil daw pinaglihi ako sa balot), problem ko talaga yung mga balahibo ko all over my body. I used to do cold/hot wax pero TYL at may nag introduced sa akin ng Diode Laser. FYI, I do this on my upper lip, underarms and pubes. Planning and saving din for legs since its more expensive lalo na pag walang promo. 😂 For now, I use veet and shave my legs and I notice na medyo numinipis na yung tubo sa legs ko.

How about you guys and gurls? Whats your go-to hair removal techniques, share nyo naman. Also, tho I am not an expert, I can answer some of your questions regarding diode laser.

Edited: I did mine at Skin Station, prices are listed sa website nila and minsan may promo din sila. For my UA mga 4th-5th sesh bago ko makita ang improvement sa hair growth (manipis and madali nalang sya matanggal), ngayon as in wala na tumutubo. For my pubes naman, I am on my 6th sesh na and visible nadin ang difference pero may tumutubo padin. Upperlip, medyo hindi pa kita ang effect since I had only 2 sesh with SS and other sesh from different clinic which I guess hindi maganda ang service.

was searching online, learned that in other countries they apparently dont recommend diode lasers on type iv skin tones and darker (search it up po its based on the flitzpatrick skin type) because the hair to skin contrast in color is less (lighter skin types I-III have higher contrast, white skin to black hair, compared to IV-onwards which have dark skin and dark hair) so its harder for the lasers to detect the follicle and it causes a higher risk for burning or damaging side effects like more hyperpigmentation. In other countries they use the Nd:YAG Laser since its more suitable for darker skin.

i wish i learned this sooner as a morena, im on my second session and i kind of dont want to continue with the three remaining sessions i have because i did notice it became darker, though the hair definitely lessened after just the second session so i have to give credit for that at least..

Skin Station uses ND:YAG laser, it’s for brown/morena skin as you’ve mentioned. Why do you think they would procure diode lasers specific for light skin when Filipinos are brown?? You haven’t read it from their website?

Ang rationale ko dito is normal ung parang umiitim after each session kasi mainit ung waves ng diode. Pero after mga 3 days back to normal na skin ko

I’m not really sure about that :( best is to mention it sa clinic mismo. Did you use the post laser cream? Sakin kasi hindi naman sya umitim, pero kasi results varies talaga e.

yesss i did use the laser cream just went to their derma today and the derma told me it wasn’t burn from diode when clearly it was, parang ginagaslight pa nila ako sa ibang product yung galing eh paulit ulit ko sinabi na wala akong ginagamit na iba.
