Why Choose Alexandrite Laser for Hair Removal?
The Alexandrite laser is renowned for its ability to target and destroy hair follicles with precision while preserving the surrounding skin. Its wavelength is ideally suited for penetrating the hair follicle, making it one of the most effective lasers for hair removal, especially for patients with lighter to olive skin tones. The Alexandrite laser’s fast treatment times and ability to cover large areas quickly make it an excellent choice for treating the legs, back, arms, underarms, and bikini area, as well as delicate facial hair.

How Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal Works
The Alexandrite Laser uses an alexandrite crystal to emit a precise wavelength of light (755 nm), targeting hair follicles with intense infrared light. This light is converted into heat upon entering the skin, effectively destroying the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. Its precision and the ability to emit short, high-intensity pulses make it highly effective for hair removal, ensuring quick recovery and minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t waxing or shaving ideal for hair removal?
Waxing and shaving offer only temporary solutions to hair removal, often leading to irritation, ingrown hairs, and quick regrowth. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, provides a more permanent solution by targeting the hair at its root, leading to longer-lasting smoothness and reduced hair growth over time.
How many sessions are needed for effective hair removal?
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s hair growth cycle, color, thickness, and the area being treated. Typically, several sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are needed to achieve and maintain optimal results, as the laser targets hairs in their active growth phase.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a quick snapping sensation against the skin. Dr. Hellman’s use of the latest laser technology and techniques ensures a comfortable experience, with many patients reporting minimal pain.
Can laser hair removal be done on any part of the body?
Yes, laser hair removal can be safely performed on almost any part of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area. The versatility of the Alexandrite Laser allows for precise targeting of hair follicles in both large and small areas.
