Blog: Laser Wavelengths

and their depth of penetration in skin

Hey there, beautiful people! I'm Sarvi, and I'm here to chat about laser hair removal - your ticket to smooth, hair-free skin without the fuss of shaving or waxing. At Orchid Studio Clinic, we're all about helping you feel confident and carefree in your own skin. So, let's dive into the world of laser hair removal and explore the different options available.

1- Diode Laser:

Diode lasers are one of the most commonly used types of lasers for hair removal. They emit a concentrated beam of light that targets the melanin in the hair follicles, heating them up and destroying the hair cells. Diode lasers are known for their effectiveness in removing unwanted hair while minimizing discomfort during the procedure. They are suitable for all skin types and can treat large areas quickly.

2- Alexandrite Laser:

The Alexandrite laser is another popular choice for hair removal. It emits a wavelength of light that is highly absorbed by melanin, making it effective for targeting dark hair follicles. Alexandrite lasers are known for their fast treatment times and ability to provide long-lasting results. They are ideal for treating large areas of the body, such as the legs, arms, and back.

3- Nd:YAG Laser:

Nd:YAG lasers are designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones. These lasers target the melanin in the hair follicles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Nd:YAG lasers are often used for hair removal on areas of the body with thicker skin, such as the back and chest.

4- Ruby Laser:

The Ruby laser was one of the first lasers used for hair removal. While less commonly used today, it is still effective for targeting fine and light-colored hair. Ruby lasers emit a shorter wavelength of light that is absorbed by melanin, making them suitable for individuals with fair skin and light hair.

5- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light):

While not technically a laser, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices are often used for hair removal. IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of light that targets the melanin in the hair follicles, heating them up and causing damage to the hair cells. IPL treatments are less precise than laser treatments but can still provide effective results for individuals with lighter skin tones and darker hair.
