The diode works only on light skins and thick dark hair. With the Diode laser, (very) dark skin can be treated less safely, and deeper hairs are also more difficult to treat. Also, this technique is painful. In newer diode lasers such as the Soprano ice laser, an inmotion technique is therefore used.
