At RenuYou MedSpa, we offer advanced laser hair removal with both InMode’s Diolaze XL and Sciton’s BBL (BroadBand Light) technology. These cutting-edge treatments provide safe, effective, and long-lasting hair reduction for various skin types and hair textures.
Diolaze XL – High-Speed, Powerful Laser Hair Removal (Ankeny Location)
InMode’s Diolaze XL is a gold-standard diode laser that delivers powerful, high-speed hair removal with built-in cooling for a comfortable treatment experience.
How It Works:
-
Diolaze XL uses a wavelength of 810 nm, which is ideal for deep penetration into hair follicles to effectively target and destroy them at the root.
-
Its large treatment spot size allows for faster sessions, making it an excellent choice for treating larger areas like the legs, back, and chest in minimal time.
-
The built-in cooling system ensures maximum comfort, reducing discomfort often associated with traditional laser hair removal treatments.
Advantages of Diolaze XL:
✔ Fast and efficient treatments due to its large treatment area
✔ Effective on coarse, dark hair and suitable for various skin types
✔ Minimal discomfort with cooling technology
✔ Fewer sessions needed compared to traditional laser hair removal
Sciton BBL – Advanced BroadBand Light for Hair Reduction (Ames Location)
Sciton’s BBL offers a unique approach to hair removal by utilizing intense pulsed light (IPL) technology for targeted hair reduction and skin rejuvenation benefits.
How It Works:
-
BBL delivers broad-spectrum light energy, which is absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles, heating and disabling them to prevent future growth.
-
This technology allows for customizable settings, making it ideal for lighter skin tones and finer hair types that may not respond as well to traditional lasers.
-
BBL also offers additional skin benefits, such as reducing redness, improving skin tone, and stimulating collagen production—making it a great option for those looking for both hair reduction and skin enhancement.
Advantages of Sciton BBL for Hair Removal:
✔ Versatile for various hair and skin types
✔ Ideal for lighter, finer hair that may not respond to diode lasers

Pre-Treatment
• The treatment area needs to be shaved to skin level, although a day’s hair growth may be helpful so that the area that requires treatment is easily recognizable.
• You must avoid waxing, plucking, threading or electrolysis of the hair for 3-4 weeks prior to treatment. Hair needs to be at skin level in order for the laser to effectively destroy the hair follicle.
• Avoid sun exposure for 3-4 weeks prior to treatment.
• Be sure that the treatment area is “squeaky clean” and has no makeup, oils, deodorant, creams, topical medications etc.
• Be certain that you are not on medications that cause photosensitivity or on acne medications such as Accutane, Retin-A, Gold Therapy etc, at present or within the past 6 months. These medications, and several others, may make your skin susceptible to damage from the laser.
Post-Treatment
• Avoid bathing or washing with hot water Wash gently and do not be abrasive with the treated area. Keep the area clean.
• For 24 hours avoid activities that may cause the treated areas to become warm, for example, exercising.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least Three-to-Four weeks after treatment. Protect the area with a sunblock

• Anywhere from two-to-three weeks after the treatment, shedding of the treated hair may occur and this appears as new hair growth. This is NOT new hair growth.
