Laser hair removal has long been a very popular treatment not only in women, but in more and more men. 

The 3 most popular hair removal lasers

What is the best choice for laser hair removal: is the diode laser, Nd:YAG or the Alexandrite laser?

Diode laser 808-810 nm

The diode laser is generally effective at hair removal, but less effective than the Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers. The diode works only on light skins and thick dark hair.

Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm
The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper into the skin. It is perfect for people with darker skin tones. 

Alexandrite laser 755 nm

The Alexandrite laser is one of the fastest lasers for hair removal and is the optimal choice for excess hair on light to light toned skin. The latest generation we have, even works with 1-2 milliseconds. The advantage of the Alexandrite is that it is the optimal laser for Mediterranean type of skin. 

The practitioner plays a big role on the outcome!

Choosing the right laser is essential to achieving the desired results and ensuring safety. It is important to remember that the practitioner also plays a large role in the effectiveness and safety of laser hair removal especially in Opsisclinical Plastic Surgery with more than 15 years of experience at the field.

Our choice is the Candela Nd:YAG, Candela Alexandrite and the Soprano Ice laser

We very deliberately chose our powerhouse, Candela Nd:YAG, Alexandrite and Soprano ice laser. As a result, you achieve even better results and the treatment is more pleasant for you.

By combining these best lasers, it is possible to treat all skin types and hair thicknesses on safety. The Alexandrite is the best laser for light skin and light brown or dark hair on light skin; the Nd:YAG laser is the optimal choice for dark skin, when Soprano laser is ideal for blonde/very fine hair or large areas/men hair removal. 

In addition, we use the Candela Alexandrite and the Candela ND:YAG with Zimmer cryo air cooling. This cools the skin during treatment making it painless and safer without breathing the harmful cryogen.

Finally, the Soprano Ice laser we use, is built with a cooling/iced probe which glides around the skin painlessly.
