Laser hair removal has advanced considerably since its early days of painful and itchy sessions, and machines like the Candela GentleMax Pro now combine Alex and ND-YAG lasers for maximum patient comfort without sacrificing results.
Simulations comparing diode and alexandrite laser transmission through skin have produced comparable results, as can be seen in Figure below. A linear fit was applied to this data which can be seen here.
Longer wavelength
Lasers have become an indispensable component of modern engineering and health care, providing accurate measurements and 3D or stereo images for precise calculations and 3D-stereo imaging, respectively. Furthermore, they are widely employed for skin resurfacing and hair removal treatments in health care. Each model of laser has a wavelength or color unique to itself which determines its strength and ability to penetrate skin to destroy targeted tissues – this ability being measured as candelas (cds).
According to one study, Alexandrite lasers had shorter wavelengths that proved beneficial for lighter skin types and paler hair colors while Diode and ND: YAG lasers provided longer wavelengths which work better on darker skin tones. As with any laser treatment it is advised that sun exposure be limited before and after treatment in order to prevent pigment changes that might result in pigment changes on these skin types.
Your Alexandrite laser treatment should cause minimal to no discomfort, as its built-in dynamic cooling device spritzes cryogen onto the area before each pulse of light is administered. Furthermore, its large spot size enables us to cover more area in each session – shortening treatment time and making the experience more relaxing than ever!
The Alma Soprano Ice Platinum utilizes a 755nm Alexandrite and 810nm Diode laser system to achieve excellent hair removal results for all skin tones, including darker ones. In addition, this machine treats pigmentation, vascular lesions and fine lines. With various handpiece options that enable us to customize each session to each patient’s specific needs and conditions. Furthermore, its DCD (dynamic cooling device) system eliminates cold gel usage for added comfort during treatments.
Alma was one of the pioneers in hair removal technology and its Soprano is its most advanced laser system. It combines three of their best laser technologies into one head for effective and safe hair removal for all clients regardless of skin tone or hair colour. For this reason, clinics looking to provide clients with optimal hair removal results should opt for this laser system.
Better for dark skin
To effectively remove unwanted hair or treat skin conditions such as pigmented lesions, vascular lesions and tighten skin, you need the latest laser technology. This ensures the safest and best treatment results while being more expensive due to more sophisticated equipment being needed for treatment.
Diode laser treatments can provide effective and safe results if you have darker skin tones. Their longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, bypassing melanin to target hair follicles directly – making this option suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Alexandrite and Diode lasers have both been proven effective at reducing hair in both light and dark skin types. Two studies conducted have confirmed this fact and demonstrated their equivalent efficacy on all Fitzpatrick scale skin types from I to IV.
Alexandrite and Diode lasers can also be used to treat skin pigmentation, vascular lesions, wrinkles and fine lines, while simultaneously being great at eliminating wrinkles and fine lines. Candela GentleMax Pro is one of the premier medical aesthetics devices on the market that utilizes both 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm ND:YAG lasers to provide hair removal treatments while its DCD spray cooling system ‘freezes’ and numbs the skin during treatments to make treatments painless.
Candela GentleMax Pro’s versatility enables it to treat a range of skin conditions such as rosacea, spider veins, facial and leg veins, port wine stains, scars and stretch marks, angioma psoriasis and vascular lesions. Furthermore, this device is capable of treating enlarged pores, wrinkles as well as lightening freckles sun spots melasma lightened. Furthermore, thanks to the DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device), each shot delivers burst of cryogen burst directly onto the surface of skin for greater comfort reducing discomfort reducing pain for clients during treatment sessions allowing clients to speed up hair removal faster than ever before – meaning faster removal!
Faster
Candela lasers are designed with higher peak power levels that allow them to deliver more energy more quickly and more comfortably, treating larger areas quickly while reducing treatment sessions needed and creating permanent solutions faster – important considerations for clients with busy lives who must return immediately to work or other activities after each session.
MedLaserUSA provides top-quality laser equipment to practitioners, clinics and clients for hair removal on any skin type – as well as offering tattoo removal, pigmented lesion reduction and wrinkle reduction services. We carry top-quality hair removal lasers as well as services such as tattoo removal, pigmented lesion reduction and wrinkle reduction to meet every cosmetic laser need.
Candela GentleLASE is the premier laser for hair removal, treating quickly and effectively with minimal downtime. As a dual-wavelength system combining 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers, the GentleLASE can be used for many aesthetic procedures including permanent hair reduction as well as treating pigmented/vascular lesions, fine line reduction, wrinkle smoothing and other procedures – it is powerful yet safe and simple-to-use system.
This revolutionary dual-wavelength technology is highly effective on all skin tones, particularly darker tones and difficult areas for hair removal. Additionally, this laser can treat fine hair more efficiently than traditional lasers can.
Alma, the company that pioneered this technology, has released their Soprano XL laser hair removal device which stands as their latest offering and represents years of extensive research. As the fastest dual-wavelength laser available on the market, with up to 2 Hz frequency and 20/22/24 mm spot sizes it provides fast yet comfortable treatment of larger areas faster. Furthermore, its high repetition rate can treat more areas quickly while its sophisticated cooling system (using Zimmer Cryo 6 for patient comfort) maximizes patient comfort.
More comfortable
Candela lasers produce light with multiple bands of wavelengths, as opposed to only having one like diode lasers do, which allows it to more effectively remove hair for people of various skin types and conditions. Their longer wavelengths also mean they are less likely to cause irritation or discomfort to surrounding skin resulting in faster treatment times and more comfortable sessions overall.
Candela lasers offer an effective cryogen cooling system to minimize client discomfort in virtually any setting. This system sprays a short burst of liquid cryogen onto the skin surface before each laser pulse, creating an adjustable cooling effect to best meet each person’s individual needs – making the laser hair removal experience as pleasant and painless as possible.
Our Candela Gentle Pro machine is FDA and TGA-approved and uses innovative technology to deliver near painless laser hair removal treatments. With a high repetition rate, clients can receive treatments faster than with other machines. In addition, its unique Dynamic Cooling Device circulates cool air across the skin before and after every laser pulse to protect from overheating while treating darker hair colors without burning the skin.
GentleLASE uses an Alexandrite 755nm laser as part of its highly effective hair removal machine, targeting skin pigmentation and vascular lesions as well as unwanted hair from all parts of the body, especially popularly for dark patches on faces, freckles and spider veins or rosacea blemishes.
VBeam Perfecta is a long-pulsed dye laser with over 25 years of safe and effective treatment of vascular lesions such as rosacea, facial and leg veins, port wine stains and angiomas. Additionally, this long-pulsed laser can also treat more general concerns related to skin rejuvenation such as sun/age spots/freckles/stretch marks/wrinkles and uneven skin tones.
