Which alexandrite laser is best?
Alexandrite is best for skin types I-III and the NdYag (1064nm wavelength) is best for skin types IV-VI. This is the important question to ask, there are facilities that will use the alexandrite on darker skin types and just turn the energy down low so that it does not burn the patient.
What type of laser is alexandrite laser?
red light laser
An alexandrite laser is one that uses an alexandrite crystal is used as the laser source or medium. The alexandrite laser produces a specific wavelength of light in the infrared spectrum (755 nm). It is considered a red light laser.

Results: One hundred and fifty patients are reported (18 men and 132 women) ranging in age from 15 to 50 years, for a total of 550 treatment sites. Complications occurred in only 2% of cases. Conclusion: The long-pulsed alexandrite laser is safe for hair removal in darker skin tones.
Is alexandrite laser better than diode?
The longer wavelengths avoid skin damage superficially near the skin’s surface in darker skin patients. Diode lasers also perform slightly better on coarse hair like pubic hair. On the other hand, Alexandrite lasers have a shorter wavelength. That is good for lighter skin types (people who burn easily when tanning).
What happens if you shower after laser?
As a rule of thumb, the colder your shower after LHR, the better. Hot water causes your blood to rise to the skin’s surface which can cause swelling and irritation and reduce the efficacy of LHR. Keeping your first few showers after the procedure to a cool temperature will help your skin.

Which is better alexandrite or Nd:YAG?
With lighter hair, the alexandrite outperforms the Nd:YAG systems, and as far as tolerability, it is generally found to be less painful than the Nd:YAG. There are pros and cons to using a laser that has a wavelength with a high absorption by melanin.
Are all alexandrite lasers the same?
Aside from the color, the wavelength of the light is the only thing that changes. For example, the Alexandrite Laser emits a red beam of light that is 755 nm. A diode laser, on the other hand, emits a 810 nm laser beam and a YAG laser emits a beam at 1064 nm.
