laser hair removal

The main difference between the two laser hair removal is Diode lasers is suitable to treat patients with darker skin tones, while Alexandrite lasers often work best on people with lighter skin tones.

Although pain sensitivity varies between individual, both diode laser and Alexandrite laser is comfortable overall they have a cooling system to minimise heat.

Diode lasers wavelength varies from 808nm to 810nm, allowing deeper skin penetration. It is more effective for coarse hair such as pubic hair (brazilian hair removal).

In patients with darker skin, the longer wavelengths prevent skin damage close to the skin’s surface.

Alexandrite lasers, on the other hand, have a shorter wavelength. It’s advantageous for folks with lighter skin (people who burn easily when tanning). Usually with shorter wavelength about 755 nm, it is best performed on skin that is lighter or whiter.
