Diode Laser at CURA SKIN
Advanced Laser Hair Reduction for All Skin Types
Shaving, waxing, tweezing, and ingrown hairs can be frustrating, time-consuming, and expensive. If you're looking for a long-term solution to unwanted hair, the MEDIK808™ Triple Wavelength Diode Laser at CURA SKIN offers one of the most advanced and comfortable laser hair reduction treatments available today.
Designed with cutting-edge triple wavelength technology and powerful sapphire cooling, the MEDIK808 delivers fast, effective treatments while keeping your skin comfortable throughout the procedure. Whether you're treating a small facial area or full legs, our advanced laser system provides safe, precise treatments tailored to your skin and hair type.
What Is the MEDIK808™ Triple Wavelength Diode Laser?
The MEDIK808™ is a professional medical-grade diode laser that combines three clinically proven wavelengths—755nm, 808nm, and 1064nm—into a single handpiece. Each wavelength targets hair follicles at different depths, allowing the laser to effectively treat a wider variety of hair thicknesses, colours, and skin types than a single-wavelength system.
The laser works through the principle of selective photothermolysis. Light energy is attracted to melanin (pigment) within the hair shaft and follicle. Once absorbed, the light converts to heat, damaging the cells responsible for future hair growth while preserving the surrounding skin.
Because hair grows in cycles, only follicles that are actively growing contain enough pigment to respond to treatment. This is why a series of sessions is recommended to achieve long-term hair reduction.
Why Three Wavelengths Are Better
Instead of relying on a single laser wavelength, the MEDIK808 combines three complementary wavelengths in one treatment.
755nm – Fine & Superficial Hair
The 755nm wavelength has a higher absorption by melanin, making it highly effective for:
Fine hair
Lighter hair (with sufficient pigment)
Upper lip
Face
Sideburns
Arms
Smaller treatment areas
It treats more superficial follicles while delivering excellent precision.
808nm – The Gold Standard
The 808nm wavelength is considered the gold standard for diode laser hair reduction.
It provides the ideal balance between melanin absorption and penetration depth, making it suitable for:
Legs
Underarms
Bikini
Brazilian
Chest
Back
Arms
Abdomen
Most body areas
This wavelength effectively targets medium-depth follicles and is appropriate for most skin and hair combinations.
1064nm – Deep Hair & Darker Skin Types
The 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin while being less readily absorbed by epidermal melanin.
This makes it particularly effective for:
Deep hair follicles
Coarse hair
Male beard hair
Back hair
Thick bikini hair
Darker Fitzpatrick skin types
Deeper rooted follicles
By reaching follicles located deeper within the dermis, the 1064nm wavelength helps improve treatment versatility and safety across a broader range of patients.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
The MEDIK808 safely treats almost any area where unwanted hair is present.
Common treatment areas include:
Face
Upper lip
Chin
Jawline
Sideburns
Neck
Ears
Forehead (selected cases)
Upper Body
Underarms
Arms
Hands
Fingers
Chest
Abdomen
Shoulders
Back
Nipples
Lower Body
Bikini line
Brazilian
Buttocks
Legs
Feet
Toes
Both women and men can benefit from customized treatment plans.
More Than Hair Removal
Laser hair reduction offers benefits beyond simply reducing hair growth.
Many clients also notice improvements in:
Ingrown hairs
Razor bumps
Folliculitis
Skin irritation from shaving
Dark shadow caused by coarse hair
Smoother skin texture
Reduced daily shaving
Increased confidence
For many people, eliminating chronic irritation can be just as life-changing as reducing unwanted hair.
Advanced Sapphire Cooling Technology
Comfort is an important part of every treatment.
The MEDIK808 features an advanced sapphire contact cooling system capable of cooling the treatment tip to approximately -32°C, helping protect the skin while significantly improving treatment comfort. This continuous cooling reduces heat at the skin's surface while allowing therapeutic energy to reach the hair follicle effectively.
Many patients describe the sensation as a brief warming or light snapping feeling rather than the discomfort often associated with older laser systems.
Is Laser Hair Reduction Permanent?
Laser hair reduction provides long-term reduction in hair growth by damaging actively growing follicles.
Because hormones and individual biology can influence hair growth over time, occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to preserve results. Most patients experience progressively finer, lighter, and less dense hair after completing their treatment series.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Hair grows in three different phases, and laser treatment is most effective during the active growth stage (anagen).
Most clients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to target hairs as they enter this active phase. The exact number of sessions varies depending on:
Treatment area
Hair colour
Hair thickness
Hormonal influences
Skin type
Individual response to treatment
During your consultation, we'll develop a personalized treatment schedule designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
Is the MEDIK808 Safe?
Every treatment at CURA SKIN begins with a detailed consultation.
Your practitioner will assess:
Fitzpatrick skin type
Hair colour and density
Medical history
Medications
Previous laser treatments
Sun exposure
Treatment goals
Customized settings are selected to maximize safety, comfort, and effectiveness for your individual needs.
