Everything You Need to Know
How to Prepare
To ensure the best results and a comfortable experience, please follow these guidelines before your Diolaze™ Laser Hair Removal session at Kelowna Hills:
Comprehensive Consultation: Begin with a personalized consultation with one of our medical providers. We’ll assess your skin type, hair color, and growth patterns to develop a treatment plan that delivers safe, effective, and consistent results.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning—natural or artificial—for at least two weeks prior to treatment. Sun exposure can increase sensitivity and risk of pigment changes.
Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser to focus energy on the follicle instead of surface hair.
Skip Waxing or Plucking: Do not wax, tweeze, or use hair removal creams for at least four weeks before treatment. These methods remove the follicle, which the laser must target.
Avoid Active Products: Discontinue use of retinol, glycolic acid, or exfoliating creams for at least five days before treatment to minimize irritation.
What to Expect
At Kelowna Hills, your Laser Hair Removal treatment is performed using advanced Diolaze™ technology for maximum safety, comfort, and efficiency:
Skin Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to ensure comfort and enhance laser performance.
Advanced Laser Technology: Diolaze™ uses a powerful diode laser combined with a built-in cooling system to target the hair follicle directly while protecting surrounding skin.
Precision and Comfort: The laser handpiece glides smoothly across the skin, delivering controlled energy pulses to destroy follicles responsible for hair growth.
Quick and Convenient: Sessions typically last between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Minimal Discomfort: Most clients describe the sensation as mild warmth or a light snap similar to a rubber band. The advanced cooling technology ensures a comfortable experience throughout.
No Downtime: You can return to your normal routine immediately after your treatment, with little to no visible irritation.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare will help maximize your results and ensure the best possible outcome:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect treated areas from direct sun exposure for at least one week after treatment, and always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Skip Heat and Sweat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or redness.
Do Not Wax or Pluck: The treated hair will shed naturally over the next 1–3 weeks. Avoid waxing or plucking during this time to allow proper follicle release.
Moisturize Gently: Apply soothing, fragrance-free moisturizers or aloe vera to calm the skin and maintain hydration.
Avoid Exfoliation: Refrain from using exfoliating products, scrubs, or retinol for at least 5 days post-treatment.
Follow-Up Sessions: Multiple sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart are needed to treat hair during different growth cycles for full, lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Diolaze™ Laser Hair Removal and how does it work?
Diolaze™ Laser Hair Removal is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses a diode laser to target the pigment within hair follicles. The laser energy converts to heat, destroying the follicle at its root to prevent future growth. Its built-in cooling system protects the skin and ensures a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
Over time, treated hairs shed naturally, revealing smoother and softer skin. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to achieve complete and lasting reduction. At Kelowna Hills, our physician-led specialists use Diolaze™ to deliver safe, efficient, and long-term hair removal for all skin types.
Is Laser Hair Removal safe for all skin tones?
Yes, Diolaze™ is designed with advanced technology to safely and effectively treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types. Its sophisticated cooling mechanism minimizes heat exposure to the skin, reducing the risk of burns or pigment changes. Our medical team carefully customizes each treatment based on your unique skin tone, hair color, and sensitivity.
Before beginning your sessions, we conduct a patch test and consultation to ensure compatibility and safety. While very light hair may respond less effectively, most clients achieve significant hair reduction after a full series. At Kelowna Hills, safety, precision, and personalized care guide every treatment we perform.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require between six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for optimal, lasting results. Because hair grows in cycles (active, resting, and shedding) the laser can only target follicles in their active growth phase. Each session captures a new group of follicles, leading to progressive and long-term reduction.
After completing the initial series, maintenance treatments may be recommended once or twice a year to keep your skin smooth and hair-free. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and hormonal balance can influence how many sessions you’ll need. At Kelowna Hills, we tailor every treatment plan to ensure safe, effective, and consistent outcomes.
Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild and easily tolerable, often comparing it to a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. The Diolaze™ system’s built-in cooling technology keeps the surface of the skin comfortable and reduces any heat sensation. Sensitive areas may feel slightly warmer, but the procedure remains well within comfort levels for the majority of clients.
Unlike waxing or plucking, there’s no pulling or trauma to the skin. Mild redness or warmth may occur temporarily but subsides quickly. At Kelowna Hills, your comfort is our top priority, and our medical providers ensure every session is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Can Laser Hair Removal prevent ingrown hairs?
Yes, one of the major benefits of Laser Hair Removal is that it significantly reduces and prevents ingrown hairs. By targeting and disabling hair follicles, Diolaze™ eliminates the root cause of ingrowns, which are hairs trapped under the skin that regrow improperly after shaving or waxing. The treatment also helps smooth and even out the skin’s texture, reducing inflammation and irritation.
Clients who struggle with razor bumps, folliculitis, or sensitive skin see dramatic improvements after several sessions. It’s a game-changing option for areas like the bikini line, underarms, and neck. At Kelowna Hills, we’ve helped countless clients achieve clear, bump-free skin and lasting smoothness.
Can men benefit from Diolaze™ Laser Hair Removal?
Absolutely. Laser Hair Removal is increasingly popular among men looking to reduce unwanted hair on areas such as the chest, back, shoulders, neck, and beard line. Diolaze™ provides a precise, comfortable way to manage dense or coarse hair while maintaining a natural appearance.
Many male clients also use it to eliminate ingrown hairs or achieve a cleaner, more defined look. Treatments are quick, effective, and fit easily into a busy schedule, requiring no downtime. At Kelowna Hills, we customize each plan to suit individual goals, ensuring natural, professional, and confidence-boosting results for every client.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
You’ll start noticing a visible reduction in hair growth after your first few sessions, with smoother skin and finer regrowth between treatments. After completing your full treatment series, most clients experience up to 90% permanent hair reduction. Any remaining hair typically grows back softer, lighter, and less noticeable.
Long-term results can last for years with occasional maintenance treatments. The duration of results depends on hormonal changes, treatment area, and individual response. At Kelowna Hills, our experienced team ensures each session is optimized for efficiency, longevity, and consistently beautiful results.
