Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal

Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal

Alexandrite laser hair removal is a widely used cosmetic treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle. It uses a 755 nm wavelength that can be particularly effective for darker hair and suitable skin types when performed after proper assessment by a qualified professional.

How Does Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal Work?

During treatment, controlled laser energy is directed toward the hair follicles. The pigment absorbs the energy, which produces heat that can damage the follicle and reduce future hair growth. Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple laser hair removal sessions are usually required to achieve meaningful, longer-lasting hair reduction.

Areas That Can Be Treated

Alexandrite laser treatment may be used for unwanted hair on areas such as the face, arms, legs, underarms, back, chest and bikini area. Your dermatologist can recommend the appropriate treatment approach based on your skin type, hair colour, hair density and treatment area.

Before and Aftercare

Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before treatment and follow your dermatologist's preparation instructions. After the session, mild redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily. Use recommended sun protection and avoid irritating skincare products until the skin settles.

Results vary between individuals, and laser hair removal does not guarantee permanent removal of every hair.
