Different types of laser

WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

Laser hair removal has become one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments for those looking to permanently reduce unwanted hair. With advancements in technology, today’s devices are more effective, more comfortable, and safer for a wider range of skin tones than ever before. But not all lasers work the same way—and understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision about which treatment is right for you.

Below, we break down the most common types of lasers and light-based devices used for hair removal, how they work, and who they are best suited for.

1. Diode laser

The diode laser is one of the most widely used technologies in the hair removal industry. It emits a concentrated beam of light designed to target the melanin within the hair follicle. As the pigment absorbs the light, heat is generated, effectively disabling the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.

If you’re looking for a reliable, versatile option, the diode laser is a strong contender.

Why people love it:
  • Highly effective at long-term reduction
  • Works on all skin types, including medium to darker tones
  • Efficient for large treatment areas

2. Alexandrite laser

Known for speed and precision, the Alexandrite laser operates at a wavelength that is exceptionally well absorbed by melanin. This makes it particularly effective for targeting darker, coarser hair.

Because of its efficiency and ability to deliver long-lasting smoothness, the Alexandrite laser remains a popular choice in many advanced clinics.

Key benefits:
  • Fast treatment times
  • High melanin absorption for strong results
  • Ideal for larger areas like legs, arms, and back

3. Nd:YAG laser

The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper into the skin than most other devices, making it a safe and effective solution for all skin tones—including darker skin, which is more prone to laser sensitivity.

This laser is often the go-to for areas like the chest or back, where hair tends to be denser and more stubborn.

What sets it apart:
  • Safest for deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI)
  • Deep penetration for targeting thick, coarse hair
  • Minimal risk of pigmentation changes
