The Alexandrite laser is a specialized laser known for its precision and efficiency. It operates at a wavelength of 755nm, which allows it to target the melanin in hair follicles. Alexandrite is perfect for lighter to medium skin tones and is highly effective in treating thinner, lighter-colored hairs. Its larger spot size also enables faster treatments, making it ideal for large areas like the legs or back.
The Nd:Yag laser is our go-to solution for darker skin tones and deeper hair follicles. With a longer wavelength of 1064nm, it penetrates the skin deeply while bypassing melanin in the epidermis. This makes it safe for all skin types (including tanned and dark skin) and ideal for treating conditions like spider veins and poikiloderma. It’s also great for individuals with coarser, darker hair.
IPL isn’t technically a laser but rather a broad-spectrum light that emits multiple wavelengths. It is widely available, but its versatility is also its downside. Because IPL lacks the laser's targeted precision, results can vary based on skin type, hair color, and area treated. While IPL can be effective for hair removal and skin rejuvenation, it’s not as powerful or specific as Alexandrite and Nd:Yag lasers, which makes the latter two more suitable for achieving consistent results.
