Laser Hair Removal Machines

Many spas and laser hair removal clinics market specialty machines. Under branded names, these unique techniques operate on the same principle as the original ruby laser, but can be targeted to clients' unique needs. For instance, some laser hair removal machines are faster and offer speedier recovery times, but are only suited to removing coarse body hair.

Differences and Similarities among Laser Hair Removal Machines

All laser hair removal machines work by targeting the dark pigment of a hair follicle. The lasers are able to target and heat these dark pigments, rendering them useless. In other words, they stop growing hair. The lighter skin surrounding the follicle is left undamaged. The difference between these laser hair removal machines is typically in the type of laser used, and how that laser's wavelength attacks hair pigments.

The ruby laser is the original hair removal laser that was pioneered in the early 1960s. The ruby laser works best on those with pale skin and dark hair. People with dark skin or deep tans may achieve better results with an Nd:YAG laser, which employs neodymium-doped glass and a crystal composed of yttrium, aluminum, and garnet. The Nd:YAG is also particularly effective at removing coarser types of hair.
