Description
Using the Alexandrite & Nd:YAG Laser Mastery of both wavelengths allows practitioners to offer safe, effective treatment to a wide client base, from pigmentation and hair removal to vascular and skin-tightening applications.
Dual-Wavelength Laser Systems
Many modern laser platforms combine Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) wavelengths in a single device, offering flexibility for a wide range of skin types and treatment applications.
| Laser Type | Wavelength | Primary Targets | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandrite | 755 nm | Melanin (pigment) | Light skin types (I–III) |
| Nd:YAG | 1064 nm | Hemoglobin, deep targets | Darker skin types (IV–VI), vascular targets |
Hair Removal
-
Use Alexandrite for skin types I–III (light to medium).
-
Use Nd:YAG for skin types IV–VI (darker tones), or on areas with deeper follicles.
Pigmented Lesions
-
Use Alexandrite for superficial pigmentation (freckles, sun spots).
Vascular Lesions
- Use Nd:YAG to treat small veins, telangiectasia, or angiomas.
-
Using Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers effectively requires:
-
Careful skin typing and treatment planning
-
Accurate parameter selection
-
Strict adherence to laser safety protocols
-
Clear client education and aftercare support
