Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal

Alexandrite Laser, one of the most effective laser systems for unwanted hair, provides a laser hair removal treatment opportunity with a success rate of up to 70-95%.

In both men and women, unwanted hair can cause great distress and become a problem that we constantly try to find solutions for. We all use different methods to get rid of our unwanted hair such as depilatory creams, wax, razors or laser hair removal. New methods for hair removal keep being developed with the advancement of technology, which makes our lives easier. 

The fastest and healthiest way to permanently get rid of unwanted hair is laser epilation. Lasers are machines that transmit energy to the root of the hair. The light produced in the laser light system affects this hair follicle, and destroys it. While the hair follicle grows, it goes through three phases: Active growth (the period when the hair follicle is active); rest (hair loss period during which biological activity stops); regression (the period when the hair follicle stops growing). The laser beam reaches the root of the hair without damaging the surrounding skin and soft tissues, and is then absorbed by the color cells in the hair follicle, which converts this light energy into heat energy. This heat destroys the hair root and prevents new hair growth. Thus, the hairs in the active growth phase are destroyed.

Laser systems used in epilation have a success rate of 70-95% in removing the hair permanently when the most suitable device considering the differences in body area, skin type, skin color and hair structure is used. Among the systems used in laser epilation treatments, Elite + Alexandrite has a decisive importance in different wavelengths, considering the determining factors such as hair color and skin color.

Elite + Alexandrite

The combination of Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths in the Elite+ system makes it safe for all skin colors and is even effective on fine hair. While Alexandrite lasers are preferred for people with light skin and dark hair type, with the Nd:YAG features, it gives good results in dark/tan skin and facial hair as well. Thanks to the highly effective cooling system of the device, there is minimal pain and high patient comfort. The laser beam that directly reaches the hair root gives good results. During the session, hair falls out from the surface immediately, providing significant convenience for after the session. In laser epilation, it is important to choose the device accordingly considering the application area. Alexandrite can be applied on all body parts except eyelids, eye sockets and other areas that are very close to the eye. When laser epilation is applied to sun-exposed areas, a high-factor sunscreen should be used.

Frequency of sessions

The sessions require at least 4-6 weeks in between them for the facial area and 8-10 weeks for the other parts of the body. Since the density and thickness of the hair are different in every body, it is not possible to give a precise number of sessions needed to achieve results as it varies according to the individual hair profile of the person and the area of application. On average, 4-6 sessions are sufficient.
