The Alexandrite Laser: with its adjustable spot size and fast repetition rate, the Alexandrite laser is the fastest laser hair removal system currently on the market today. By targeting the melanin within the hair follicle, the Alexandrite provides effective treatments for those with dark hair and light to olive skin tones and can treat large areas, like a man's back, in about 30 minutes. Along with the Diode laser, the Alexandrite is the most widely used laser hair removal system today. This machine is very effective on those with lighter skin tones and darker hair; skin types I, II and III. Those with darker skin tones are deterred from undergoing treatment with this machine.
The Nd: YAG Laser: the Nd: YAG laser is the newest laser hair removal system on the market and, to date, is the most effective laser for treating those with darker skin types. The YAG laser operates at a longer wavelength than the Alexandrite or Diode laser; this allows the laser to pass safely through the outer layers of skin to be absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. Because of this, the YAG laser is specifically designed to treat those patients with darker skin types; including tanned skin. With its larger spot size, fast repetition rate and longer wavelength, YAG lasers provide safe and effective laser hair removal treatments. Manufacturers claim that the YAG is effective on patients with all skin types. However, the reality is that the YAG works exceptionally well on those with skin types IV, V and VI, where it is not as effective on those with skin types I, II and III. |
