Why choosing the right laser is important
Lasers differ in wavelength, penetration depth and skin tolerance. This influences:
- How effective is the treatment?
- How safe is it for different skin types?
- How pleasant do the sessions feel?
Choosing the right technology is crucial for long-lasting results and your satisfaction.
A comparison of the most important laser types
| Laser type | Wavelength | Suitable for skin types | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diode laser (808 nm) | 808 nm | I-V (incl. tanned skin) | Versatile, gentle & effective; ideal for darker & thicker hair | - |
| Alexandrite laser (755 nm) | 755 nm | I-III | Very precise, perfect for light skin with dark hair | Not suitable for darker skin |
| Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) | 1064 nm | IV-VI (darker skin) | Safest option for dark skin, penetrates deeply | Less effective for fine hair |
| IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) (not a real laser) | Variable | Light skin types | Less expensive, large areas can be treated | Less precise, higher risk of irritation, not permanent, ineffective on light/grey hair |
Many people are looking for the answer to this question, which laser is best suited for you.
