As the laser hair removal technologies have progressed, different types of lasers have entered the market. We think you might be interested about the pros and the cons of different technologies.
IPL laser hair removal
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is one of the newest laser hair removal technology and is regarded by far the safest and effective on the market. It can safely and effectively be used for all types of skin and can be customized according to skin color. One of the most advanced IPL device for laser hair removal is Isolaz, proven to be a relaxing and painless treatment. Here in Chicago, you can find some professional clinics, where you can take advantage of this revolutionary technology.
Nd: YAG laser hair removal
This type of laser can be safely used in all skin types, including tanned patients, but it may work best for darkly pigmented people. It is more painful than other laser options. As side effects, we can mention: risks of scars, burns, skin discoloration, redness and swelling.
Diode laser hair removal
This technology is the most effective hair removal light source and it is recommended for white skin. Its longer wavelength provides deeper and safer penetration into the skin and provides better results to dark-skinned people too. As a short term side effect we can mention pigmentary changes.
Alexandrite laser hair removal
The Alexandrite laser is a shorter wavelength system recommend for very white skin. This technology has a good penetration, but as side effects: hair removal is short term and it frequently produces pigmentary changes (lightening or darkening of the skin).
Ruby laser hair removal
Ruby laser is the first system of laser hair removal. Ruby laser is recommended for light skin. It cannot be used for hair removal on darker or tanned skins.
