Laser Hair Removal
Light energy tackles the root of the hair problem. Lasers are specialized in efficient and gentle hair removal. They treat larger skin areas such as back, shoulders or legs, but can selectively remove hairs from the face, the axilla or the bikini area as well. Light application damages the root of the hair and stops the hair from regrowing.

Why Alexandrite laser ?
The importance of understanding the laser and light systems available for hair removal cannot be overemphasized, as this field continues to grow in popularity.
The alexandrite laser emits energy at a wavelength of 755 nm – well within the absorption spectrum for melanin. As melanin is the target chromophore for hair removal, this makes the laser a great device for removing hair.
Several groups have looked at the effectiveness and the side effects of the alexandrite laser for hair removal. Most reports indicate that the alexandrite is equally as effective as the diode laser for hair removal for skin types I through IV. With lighter hair, the alexandrite outperforms the Nd:YAG systems, and as far as tolerability, it is generally found to be less painful than the Nd:YAG.here.
