Treatment
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal targets follicular melanin to reduce regrowth over a course of sessions, using diode (808 nm) and long-pulse 1064 nm platforms suited to a broad range of skin types.

Overview
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal targets melanin in the hair follicle with controlled light or laser energy to reduce regrowth over a course of treatments. Wavelength selection matters: 808 nm balances melanin absorption and depth for general use, while 1064 nm penetrates more deeply and is suited to darker skin types. A clinician sets parameters and cooling per patient.
Which Pro 1 Laser platforms support hair removal?
The DioLase Titanium diode platform anchors high-volume hair removal, while the DPL Elite and the Pro 1 Pico long-pulse 1064 nm mode support selected protocols. This page is educational; suitability is determined by a trained provider.
How do diode hair-removal platforms compare?
Compare them spec by spec on power, treatment-window size, cooling and published workflow times. The ATHENA Super ICE vs DioLase Titanium comparison walks through each of those head to head, and the DioLase Titanium Buyer’s Guide covers the full evaluation checklist.
Clinics deciding where hair removal sits in a wider treatment menu can compare platforms by practice type in laser equipment for med spas.
FAQs
Which Pro 1 Laser devices support laser hair removal?
The DioLase Titanium diode platform, the DPL Elite light platform, and the Pro 1 Pico's long-pulse 1064 nm mode are all used in hair-reduction protocols.
How many sessions are typical?
Hair grows in cycles, so a course of treatments is used. The number depends on the area, hair characteristics, skin type, and provider settings.
Does it work on darker skin?
Long-pulse 1064 nm is the wavelength used for darker skin because it is less absorbed by surface melanin; settings and cooling are selected by a trained provider.
Is it suitable for light, grey, or white hair?
Laser hair removal targets pigment in the follicle, so it is most effective on darker hair; light, grey, or white hair responds less predictably.
How long between sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to match the hair growth cycle; a provider sets the interval for each treatment area.
