I was super nervous about the pain, but the cooling tip on the Diolaze really does numb the skin. It barely felt like a pinch and now my underarms are totally smooth without any razor bumps.

I used to dread laser appointments because of the time, but this machine is honestly so fast. I literally stopped by during my lunch break in Irvine and was done with my legs before I knew it.

Trust your skin to Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat. Our medical-grade treatments deliver safety and precision, ensuring the best laser hair removal outcomes in Orange County.
The Gold Standard in Laser Hair Removal
Finding a permanent solution to unwanted hair is often a journey filled with temporary fixes like shaving, waxing, or sugaring. At our clinic in Irvine, we utilize the Diolaze XL Max, which represents the cutting edge of laser science. Unlike older aesthetic devices that operate at lower power or slower speeds, this system is a high speed diode laser designed to deliver treating energy deeper and safer. It is built by InMode, a leader in radiofrequency and laser technologies, to provide a solution that balances aggressive hair destruction with gentle skin preservation. Whether you reside in Irvine or the greater Orange County area, this technology offers a clinically proven path to smooth, hair free skin without the downtime associated with older methods.
How Diolaze XL Max Targets Hair Roots
The science behind this treatment is known as selective photothermolysis. While the name sounds complex, the process is quite simple to understand. The laser emits a powerful beam of light at a specific wavelength (810 nm) that looks for pigment, or melanin, within your hair shaft. When the light hits the hair, it instantly converts into heat. This heat travels down the shaft to the root and the bulb of the follicle. By raising the temperature of the follicle to a critical point, the laser effectively disables the structure responsible for hair growth. Because the Diolaze XL Max uses such precise optical power, it can destroy the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. This precision is what makes it effective for a wide variety of hair textures, from coarse leg hair to finer facial hair.
Experience Comfort with Triple Cooling Technology
One of the biggest concerns for any patient in Orange County considering laser treatments is the pain factor. Traditional lasers are often compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin, accompanied by intense heat. The Diolaze XL Max revolutionizes patient comfort with its built in 3PC Cooling system. This feature uses a chilled sapphire tip that makes contact with your skin to provide continuous cooling.
Pre cooling: The tip chills the skin immediately before the laser pulse is emitted to numb the sensation.
Parallel cooling: It continues to cool the surface simultaneously while the laser energy is delivered.
Post cooling: The tip keeps the skin cool after the pulse to soothe the area and prevent thermal injury.This three step process ensures that while the heat is doing its work deep in the hair follicle, the surface of your skin remains comfortable and protected from burns.
Faster Treatments for Busy Schedules
Time is valuable, and nobody wants to spend an hour undergoing a laser session for a single body part. The "XL" in Diolaze XL Max refers to its extra large spot size. The spot size is the actual surface area that the laser beam covers with each pulse. Because this device has one of the largest spot sizes in the industry, it can treat areas like the back, chest, or full legs in significantly less time than legacy machines. Combined with a high repetition rate, which is the speed at which the laser fires pulses, Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat can perform comprehensive treatments during a standard lunch break. This efficiency does not sacrifice power; the system delivers high peak power to ensure stubborn follicles are treated effectively in fewer overall sessions.
Expert Care with Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat in Irvine
While having the best technology is crucial, the expertise of the provider is equally important for safety and results. Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat brings a medical approach to aesthetic treatments, ensuring that your specific skin type and hair characteristics are analyzed correctly before starting. Laser hair removal is not a one size fits all procedure. The settings must be adjusted based on the contrast between your hair color and skin tone to avoid side effects. By choosing our service in Irvine, you are opting for a medically supervised environment where safety protocols are strictly followed. We invite residents across Orange County to experience a level of care that combines the raw power of the Diolaze XL Max with the skilled precision of a dedicated medical professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear, patient-friendly answers from Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat about pricing, comfort, downtime, results, and aftercare—so you can feel confident before booking.
Does the cooling tip actually prevent burns?
The sapphire tip on the Diolaze handpiece has high thermal conductivity, meaning it draws heat out of the skin very efficiently. It keeps the epidermis (top layer of skin) at roughly 7°C while the laser energy heats the hair follicle to 70°C. This thermal contrast is critical; it allows us to use high energy settings to destroy the hair without the surface skin ever reaching a temperature that would cause a burn or blister.
How is this different from IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is often confused with laser, but it uses a broad spectrum of scattered light, similar to a powerful lightbulb. This energy is less focused and often too shallow to permanently kill deep hair roots. The Diolaze XL Max is a true diode laser that emits a single, concentrated wavelength of coherent light. This allows for higher energy density and deeper penetration, resulting in permanent reduction rather than just temporary thinning.
Why can't I wax before my appointment?
Laser hair removal relies on the physics of light absorption. The laser beam needs a target, specifically the pigment in the hair shaft, to absorb the heat and travel down to kill the follicle. Waxing, plucking, or sugaring removes the hair shaft entirely. If you wax, there is no "conductor" for the heat, rendering the laser ineffective. You should shave 24 hours prior, which leaves the hair root intact below the skin.
Is Diolaze safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, the 810nm diode wavelength is safer for darker skin (Skin Types IV-VI) compared to older Alexandrite lasers (755nm). The longer wavelength bypasses the melanin on the skin's surface to target the deeper melanin in the hair follicle. Additionally, Dr. Sedaghat can adjust the pulse width (duration) to deliver energy slower, protecting the epidermis while still destroying the coarser hair common with darker skin types.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in three stages: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The laser can only permanently destroy hair during the anagen phase when the hair is firmly connected to the root. Since only about 20% of your hair is in this phase at any given time, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is technically required to catch every hair follicle during its active growth cycle.
