Why Is It Important to Choose the Right Skin Treatment Laser?

There are an impressive amount of lasers designed for hair removal, suiting a variety of skin types and ethnicities. These various lasers allow almost everyone to receive safe, successful laser hair removal, so what are they? Here are the four most common lasers used.

  • Alexandrite: Ideal for larger areas due to its speed and longer wavelength, Alexandrite works best for light to olive skin tones, as well as fine hair or freckled skin.
  • Dioide: This customizable laser inflicts less damage to the skin itself, making it ideal for darker tones or coarse hair.
  • IPL: The most customizable, an intense pulsed light system suits a variety of areas, tones, and hair types. It also targets large areas quickly.
  • Nd:YAG: This laser doesn’t target melanin, making it safest for all skin colors. Fewer pulses are needed with Nd:YAG, thanks to its long wavelength, making sessions quick and comfortable.

Which Laser Is Right for Me?

You’re spoiled with choice when it comes to the laser systems out there, and that exact reason is why you should visit an experienced laser technician with multiple laser types.

A professional technician will determine the best laser to use based on your needs. This includes factoring in your skin type and tone alongside your hair type. This personalized approach ensures safe and successful laser hair removal for all.
