Alexandrite Laser for Hair Removal:

In order to penetrate deep enough into the layer of the skin which holds the hair follicle, you need to use a laser which is capable of accurately targeting a precise point with the correct energy, heat, and depth. The 755nm Alexandrite Laser is highly absorbed by the melanin (colour) in the hair follicle. FDA Approved, it is undoubtedly the Gold Standard when it comes to Laser hair removal and is the most effective Laser to remove dark hair on light skins (skin types I-IV).

The laser targets hair in the growing phase by honing in on the melanin in the hair follicle, following it down the hair shaft, where it destroys it. As long as the hair has pigment in it, the laser will destroy the hair follicle on impact – once destroyed this follicle will never grow back. Hair grows in cycles therefore each growth cycle will need to be treated with the laser in order to obtain permanent hair reduction.  Laserderm recommends between 6-8 treatments.

Treating Pigmented Lesions:

The Alexandrite Laser reduces or eliminates the appearance of unwanted pigment in the skin by using light to target the pigmented area and break it up. The result is fading of pigment in the treated area. While some areas respond with just one treatment, others may require multiple treatments over several visits. When multiple treatments are required, significant improvement should be noted with each visit.
