TRI WAVE DIODE LASER – Gentle, Cool Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal has become an increasingly popular choice for long-lasting smooth and clear skin. Unlike traditional methods, laser treatment helps reduce the need for frequent hair removal and prevents common issues caused by improper techniques, such as irritation or ingrown hairs.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to a safe and effective method of hair removal that not only avoids “chicken skin” (keratosis pilaris) but also helps slow down future hair growth. Let’s explore how TRI WAVE DIODE LASER can give you smoother skin and greater confidence—without the hassle.
What is TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Hair Removal?
TRI WAVE DIODE LASER is an advanced cool laser hair removal treatment that uses three different wavelengths—755 nm, 808 nm, and 1,064 nm. Each wavelength targets hair at different depths and is suitable for different skin tones and areas of the body:
- 755 nm Wavelength
This wavelength penetrates the shallowest level of the skin, making it effective for targeting fine or thin hairs and areas with lighter skin. It reaches the bulge area (the root of the hair follicle) and works well for treating facial hair, ear hair, nasal hair, and between the eyebrows. - 808 nm Wavelength
This medium-depth wavelength is ideal for darker skin tones and provides effective penetration to treat hair on areas such as the arms, legs, cheeks, and chin. It offers a good balance of melanin absorption and deep follicle targeting. - 1,064 nm Wavelength
This wavelength penetrates the deepest and is best for coarse hair and darker skin tones. It’s highly effective for treating bikini areas, underarms, and the scalp, targeting even the deepest hair roots and ensuring optimal results with minimal skin irritation.
The TRI WAVE DIODE LASER delivers energy directly to the hair follicles, where it’s absorbed by the melanin pigment. The heat then destroys the hair roots, causing the hair to fall out and slowing down regrowth. It also helps damage the blood vessels that nourish the follicle—helping to prevent future growth.
Types of Laser Hair Removal Technologies
- DIODE LASER
This technology uses two wavelengths—810 nm and 940 nm—to deliver heat deep into the skin layers, targeting both hair shafts and roots. It’s especially effective because it also damages the tiny blood vessels that support hair growth, slowing the regrowth process significantly.
Thanks to built-in cooling systems, treatments are quick (10–20 minutes) and relatively painless. Once treated, the stem cells responsible for hair regrowth are disrupted, reducing hair thickness and quantity over time. - YAG LASER (1,064 nm)
This laser penetrates deep into the skin and fat layers, effectively destroying melanin in the hair follicles. However, it’s best suited for lighter or finer hair and does not improve skin clarity. It also requires longer sessions since the device cannot continuously fire like a diode laser, and treatment may be uncomfortable with noticeable snapping sensations. - IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Though often mistaken for a laser, IPL is not a true laser. It emits broad-spectrum light in pulses, affecting both targeted and surrounding skin areas. IPL treatments can cause redness or swelling, and frequent sessions are needed. It’s less precise than lasers and often doesn’t reach deep enough to prevent regrowth. Without proper expertise, skin burns can also occur. - RUBY LASER (694 nm)
This was the first laser hair removal technology developed. It targets the middle layers of the skin and is best for people with very fair skin. Since it doesn’t penetrate deeply and isn’t suitable for all skin types, it’s more common in European populations. It’s not widely used today due to newer, more effective technologies.
Which Areas Can TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Treat?
The TRI WAVE DIODE LASER can be used for permanent hair removal on virtually any part of the body, including:
- Back
- Bikini line
- Legs
- Underarms
- Arms
- Chest
- Beard or facial hair areas
Thanks to its customizable settings and cooling technology, treatments are safe, comfortable, and effective across a wide range of skin types and hair textures.
Benefits of Hair Removal with TRI WAVE DIODE LASER
The TRI WAVE DIODE LASER uses three different wavelengths—755 nm, 808 nm, and 1,064 nm—that can deeply penetrate the skin and target the hair follicles directly. This makes the treatment highly effective.
- Capable of removing fine, light-colored hairs and brightening the skin.
- Painless during the procedure with no burning sensation, thanks to continuous cooling system.
- Prevents ingrown hairs and “chicken skin” texture, while tightening pores and reducing pigmentation, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant.
Advantages of TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Hair Removal
TRI WAVE DIODE LASER features flexible wavelengths and deeper laser penetration. The benefits include:
- Effective on both coarse and fine hair.
- Slows down the regrowth of new hair.
- Faster treatment time compared to other laser types.
- Pain-free procedure, usually without the need for topical anesthesia (depending on individual pain tolerance).
- Safe for the upper skin layer, preventing surface damage.
- Minimizes risk of burns and redness.
- Helps reduce ingrown hairs and minor wrinkles.
- Tightens pores.
- Noticeable reduction of hair by at least 30% after the first session.
- New hair grows finer, lighter, and less dense.
- With continuous treatments, hair gradually disappears, pores tighten, and collagen production is stimulated—leaving the skin smoother, softer, and clearer.
TRI WAVE DIODE LASER vs. YAG Laser: What’s the Difference?
Though both are laser hair removal technologies, they differ in their wavelengths:
- YAG Laser operates at a 1,064 nm wavelength, suitable for darker skin tones or tanned skin. It’s ideal for small, precise areas like the face, mustache, beard, or intimate zones.
- TRI WAVE DIODE LASER uses multiple wavelengths ranging from 800–1,350 nm. Each wavelength serves a specific purpose, making it suitable for all skin types, including fair to medium tones (common among Thais). It also features a cooling system, ensuring comfort and safety. This type is ideal for broader areas like arms and legs.
Which One is Better: TRI WAVE DIODE LASER or YAG?
Choosing between TRI WAVE DIODE LASER and YAG depends on your skin tone and the area you want to treat. Consult with a professional aesthetic clinic under medical supervision for a customized treatment plan that suits your needs.
Key Factors for Effective Laser Hair Removal
To achieve optimal results, an effective hair removal laser must have a wavelength of at least 900 nm—such as YAG or TRI WAVE DIODE LASER. Other key factors include:
- Skin tone, hair color, and hair density in the treatment area.
- The experience and expertise of the practitioner.
- Proper wavelength and energy level adjustments tailored to your condition.
An expert practitioner can plan the most suitable treatment and ensure complete and satisfying results.
Expected Results After TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Treatment
You can expect hair to fall out within 7 days post-treatment. New hair growth slows down and usually takes 2–4 weeks. The new hair tends to be finer, thinner, and lighter than before.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
After the first session, hair reduction of about 30% can be seen. Typically, 5–8 sessions are recommended. For thick hair, sessions should be spaced 3–4 weeks apart initially, followed by 4–6 weeks apart as hair regrowth slows. (The exact number depends on the treatment area and hair type.)
Procedure of TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Hair Removal
- The treatment area is first thoroughly cleansed.
- Hair in the treatment area is shaved (with a lamp turned on during shaving).
- Both the patient and specialist wear protective goggles to shield the eyes.
- A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area.
- The laser handpiece is tested for optimal cooling before contact with the skin.
- The laser handpiece is moved smoothly over the treatment area.
- For sensitive areas such as the upper lip, beard, bikini line, or Brazilian, if the client feels a slight sting or heat, the specialist may alternate between cooling and lasering to maintain comfort.
- After treatment, the gel is wiped off and the area is cleaned.
- A post-laser soothing cream (BA) is applied.
How Long Does Each Laser Hair Removal Session Take?
The procedure is quick, typically lasting between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated, the amount and thickness of the hair.
Recommendations for Effective TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Use
- Ensure the handpiece temperature is below 5°C before use.
- Keep the laser head in full contact with the skin to avoid burns.
- Do not point the laser head toward the eyes, as it may cause damage.
- Begin with low energy levels and adjust accordingly.
- The laser handpiece should be moved consistently — from left to right, top to bottom, or similar directions.
- After the session, store the handpiece gently and make sure it’s properly turned off.
- Clean the handpiece with saline solution or damp cotton (do not use alcohol).
Precautions for TRI WAVE DIODE LASER Hair Removal
Avoid this treatment if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have tattoos in the area to be treated
- Have skin conditions such as skin cancer, herpes, or dermatitis
- Have extremely dry or hypersensitive skin (use with caution)
Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid scrubbing the treated area for at least 3 days.
- Avoid sun exposure for 3–7 days post-treatment.
- Apply moisturizer regularly to keep the skin hydrated.
