What does the doctor say about Laser Hair Removal
If you are exploring hair removal methods, you probably have done your research and determined that laser hair removal is the best option. But why choose Alexandrite laser hair removal?
Body laser hair removal with an Alexandrite laser is currently the most advanced and effective method of hair removal.
What is Alexandrite laser hair removal?
The Alexandrite laser emits a high‑energy beam of light via an Alexandrite crystal. As the light passes through the crystal, it becomes a beam of wavelength 755 nm.
The penetration depth of a laser is determined by its wavelength — the specific light emitted is red in color. The laser can also operate in Q‑switch mode, producing short, high‑energy pulses, making it very effective for hair removal on the body and face.
Which areas can it be applied to?
The Alexandrite laser hair removal method can be applied to virtually any area of the body where unwanted hair exists, including the face. It is a safe and painless process, and its results are impressive, leaving the skin smooth and velvety.
Specifically, it can be used on:
– Underarms
– Arms (upper and forearms)
– Chest
– Back
– Abdomen
– Waist
– Legs (calves and thighs)
– Bikini area
– Buttocks

What distinguishes Alexandrite from other lasers?
One of the key differences between the Alexandrite laser and other lasers is wavelength. The Alexandrite laser emits at 755 nm, while a diode laser emits at 810 nm and an Nd:YAG laser emits at 1064 nm.
How is Alexandrite laser hair removal performed?
– Before sessions, the hairs should be trimmed to about 2–3 mm.
– The target area is marked and then scanned using a special laser handpiece.
– Modern devices include dual cooling systems, making the session nearly painless and tolerable.
How many sessions are required?
Sessions are repeated roughly every 1–2 months. In hormone-dependent areas (face, chest, abdomen) hair reduction is slower; in regions like legs, arms, and bikini, fewer sessions are needed, and complete hair removal may be achievable in about 6 sessions.

What are the advantages of Alexandrite laser hair removal?
– Considered the most effective laser for hair removal
– More effective for lighter skin types
– Proven efficiency even on fine hairs that many lasers won’t eliminate
– The 755 nm wavelength is well absorbed by melanin, so hair follicles heat up and are destroyed
Effectiveness of Alexandrite

The method offers results that are permanent and impressive. Even after the first session, hair reduction of up to 50% may be observed in some areas. After the full recommended number of sessions, hair may be fully eliminated or remain only as fine fuzz.
Possible complications & side effects
As with all lasers, there are some potential side effects:
– In very dark skin, there is a risk of hypopigmentation
– Even lighter skin may have pigment damage such as hyperpigmentation
– The procedure itself is minimally painful; cooling gels may reduce any discomfort
– Slight swelling and itching may occur post‑treatment, usually resolving within a few days
– Redness is common but permanent burns are rare when the laser is used correctly
– Rarely, bruising may appear but tends to resolve on its own
