Laser Hair Removal Equipment

While a lot of people outside the industry assume that all laser hair removal equipment is similar, this is actually a misconception. While most laser hair removal equipment functions in largely the same way, there are actually different lasers that can be employed. The different lasers each work best on specific hair and skin types, making hair removal faster and more effective.

The Nd:YAG laser is a specialty laser that provides better results for people with darker skin combined with dark hair. Lasers often used in hair removal are only truly effective when the dark pigments of hair can be contrasted with lighter skin. The Nd:YAG laser, however, is ideal for those with deeply tanned or dark skin; this laser also works well on especially coarse hair, such as back hair or hair in the bikini area.

The ruby laser was the first laser used in hair removal experiments. It has been adapted to damage the hair follicle while keeping the surrounding skin safe. The ruby laser has a very strong pulse, but that pulse can be adjusted for maximum effectiveness on different skin types. The alexandrite laser is typically used to target large areas, such as the back. This laser can also be adjusted to address both fine and coarse hair. Diode lasers are also used in laser hair removal equipment, often under patented names. Diode lasers utilize an especially long wavelength, which helps penetrate deeper into the skin. This factor makes diode lasers effective on coarse hair, even on dark skin types.
