Section 6: DiolazeXL Treatment Information
DiolazeXL hair removal treatment is based on principles of selective
photothermolisys. The light penetrates into the skin and is selectively absorbed by
melanin of the hair shaft. The absorbed energy is converted into heat, coagulating
the hair follicle. Multiple treatments are required for best results. White hairs are
resistant to the treatment due to scares pigmentation in the hair shaft. DiolazeXL
810nm is a universal hair removal for all skin types.
6.1 Instructions for Use
The Optimas System with the DiolazeXL 810nm Handpiece is intended for hair
