Laser Hair Removal Device

Choosing the best laser to remove unwanted hair means choosing device that is used in laser hair removal process. There are many kinds of laser light system from many manufactures that grow together with the popularity of laser hair treatment.

There are several wavelengths of laser energy or some people say “method of laser hair removal treatment”. Each wavelength represent by type of laser hair system. The laser which is used including visible light to near-infrared radiation defined by the lasing medium that used to create the wavelength (measured in nanometers (nm)). Wavelength is the parameter for the type of laser that can affect the result.

• The Ruby Laser (694 nm) is the oldest type of laser hair removal and works best for fine and light hair, does not work well on patients with darker or tanned skin. Ruby laser is no longer commonly used because it can only work on relatively small area at a time, not safe on most type of skin and can produces side effects such as pigmentary changes (lightening or darkening of the skin), so it becomes less popular in recent years :(
• The Alexandrite Laser (755 nm) is the fastest working device and most effective laser type. This type of laser is used when treating large body areas and it works and safety on almost all skin types, specially on light skin. Because of that reason, Alexandrite Laser becomes popular and the most widely used for lasers hair removal system ;)
• The Diode Laser (810 nm) is most effective laser for dark skinned individuals. It covers a large area fairly quickly, has fast repetition rates and allowing brisk treatment of large body areas. :) But Diode Laser is not works well for lighter and finer hair :(
• The long pulse Nd:Yag laser (1064 nm) is perfect for all skin types. It’s safely including for patients with darker or tanned skin. Even sometimes for patients whose have darker skin with black hair, this type of laser is suggested to be used together with a cooling tip to get an effective result. Yag laser can treats large areas and fast repetition rates so can treat quickly and also can treat tattoos and pigmented lesions. ;) The weakness is the treatment process is more discomfort for patients. However, still in doubt that this laser can produce effective long-term hair removal :(

There is another device that also uses light to remove hair but not a laser. Intense Pulsed Light Devices (IPL) is almost equivalents with laser hair removal, but this device is more difficult to operate, so if you want to try for this type, please make sure you have already chosen a very skilled and experiences therapist to operate the IPL machine.
