Help you choose laser hair removal machines on the market

There are several laser hair removal techniques on the market today. With so many options to choose from, how do you choose the best laser hair removal device for you? Five of the most popular hair removal techniques are discussed in detail below: Ruby, IPL, Alexandrite, Diode, and Nd:YAG. After reading our guide, you can confidently make a decision.

1) Ruby

The Ruby laser is the first of its kind on the market for laser hair removal. Ruby lasers produce a shorter wavelength of 694 nm. It emits a red beam that targets the melanin in the hair follicle and can be used for hair removal.

Ruby hair removal is suitable for people with light skin and dark hair, not for darker skin types. Due to the low repetition rate of ruby, the treatment time is long, the cycle is long, and the range is small. But it's cheap and safe.

2) IPL

IPL is an acronym for "Intense Pulsed Light". Instead of a laser, IPL uses powerful, visible, broad-spectrum light pulses or flashes. It is widely used in the cosmetic field to remove unwanted hair. IPL uses light to heat the target, targeting the melanin in the hair to destroy the follicles.

IPL hair removal treatment is suitable for people with pale skin and dark hair, it is not safe for people with tanned skin as well as people with dark skin. Other than that, it remains a popular and effective way to get rid of brown spots and redness of the skin.

3) Alexandrite (755 nm)

The Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal System is the most frequently used laser on the market today. This is because it is efficient and fast. The short Alexandrite (or "Alex") laser pulse repetition rate and large treatment spot size allow for the treatment of large areas of the body in a short period of time.

Alexandrite laser hair removal is suitable for people with light to olive skin and should not be used on darker skin tones. In order to alleviate the suffering of patients, it is equipped with a cooling system. Of course, since it's one of the latest technologies, it's a bit more expensive.

4) Diode (810 nm)

Diode (810 nm) and Nd: YAG (1064 nm) laser systems, are two wavelengths authorized by the FDA for laser hair removal for darker skin tones.

Because the diode laser is a newer laser hair removal device, there have been fewer studies to determine its long-term safety and effectiveness. The wavelengths produced by the diodes penetrate deep into the hair follicle. For dark skin types, deep laser penetration is safer.

5) Nd: YAG (1064 nm) machine

Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet, commonly known as Nd:YAG, is considered the gold standard for treating patients with darker skin. This is due to the low dispersion and deep penetration of laser light.

Lasers in the Nd:Yag wavelength range can significantly penetrate the hair follicle. Nd:YAG lasers allow the use of shorter pulse lengths without compromising safety. Shorter pulse durations allow more body parts to be treated in less time.
