At LaseRx, we mostly use a state-of-the-art 810 nm diode laser (
www.wavelight.com), as the technology of choice. This state-of-the-art high-powered diode laser has several unique features, including a patented step pulse system (which keeps the skin cool, even while heating the hair), and a unique skin cooling system. It is the fastest laser in the market, with a 12 mm laser spot, and a quick repetition rate.
Our laser technology has several advantages over other diode lasers, and Nd: YAG Lasers. The Nd: YAG lasers have no specific attraction to melanin, and because of this, they are claimed to work on all skin types. However, laser hair removal is dependent on absorption in melanin, and thus, Nd: YAG lasers need to be used at very high powers for effective hair removal. This results in non-specific effects on the skin, and much more pain than in our system.
