I am planning to remove hair in the bikini area my skin is light tans to brown semi dark brown hair and brown eyes.
Soprano diode laser vs alexandrite.
Diode laser best for fair to medium dark skin.
To compare the efficacy tolerability and subject satisfaction of a continuously linear scanning 808 nm diode laser with an alexandrite 755 nm laser for axillary hair removal.
The two most commonly used hair removal lasers are compared.
Disadvantage of alexandrite lasers the main controversy or concern is the cryogen cooling of the candela brand of alexandrite laser hair removal machines.
The diode one of the newest and most commonly used type of laser hair removal machines today was designed for fair to medium dark skin types.
Because the soprano is a diode laser like a led bulb it is different from a classic bulb that ages and blows it can be flicked on and off very quickly meaning it gently warms rather skin than flicking the skin yag.
The diode laser performs well on coarse dark hair and is a good choice for back or bikini hair.
A total of 31 adults with skin types i iv received 6 treatments at 4 week intervals with a 755 nm alexandrite laser right axilla and a continuously.
Alma s groundbreaking alex technology combines the high absorption benefits of the alexandrite wavelength with the treatment coverage comfort and low maintenance of the diode laser offering a cutting edge hair removal solution that delivers superior results including for darker skin types.
Alexandrite laser the alexandrite operates at a 755nm wavelength a shorter wavelength than the diode laser and has been used effectively for laser hair removal treatment on skin types i iv.
To present the results of a comparative study examining the role of wavelength fluence spot size pulse width and cooling systems on long term results after a series of four laser hair removal treatments using the 755 nm alexandrite and 800 810 nm diode lasers.
The soprano is the best all rounder and very good for the face where hairs are shallow.
The diode emits both shorter and longer wavelengths so it boasts good melanin absorption and penetrates deep into the hair follicles.
