How does the this laser system work?

​

This laser platform combines two high-power 2000W diodes in a single handpiece: 810nm and 760nm, exploiting on the latter the power of the diode as well as the advantages of an alexandrite laser (755nm).

The more a wavelength increases, the more it is able to penetrate into the tissues, the absorbance of the melanin target decreases with a hyperbolic profile towards lower and lower energy sources.

​

It becomes fundamental to respect the sequence of the emission of the two wavelengths, in order to have an optimal and effective interaction with the hair bulb and to reach 60-70 C° in the germination zone.

In other words, the first impact must be the deepest (810nm diode), which absorbed by the melanin, transforms our target on a three-dimensional level, the second, characteristic of the 760nm, will be more superficial and effective.

​

The laser is pulsed for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is long enough to damage the follicle, without damaging the surrounding tissue, thanks also to the contact-cooling handpiece, that protects the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.

How does Xlase plus hair removal compare with other hair removal methods?

​

Shaving, waxing and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must e repeated on a frequent basis and on of those methods can successfully reduce ingrown.  The Alexpro laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction and treatment of ingrown hairs.

 

Does laser hair removal hurt?

 

When using the Alexpro laser in ‘motion speed’ modality, the treatment is virtually pain free. With the other laser wavelengths, most people tolerate the treatment very well referring as it to be felt like an elastic band pinged against the skin. However , you should bear in mind that some people are more sensitive than others.

 

Does this laser work on tanned or dark skin?

 

The Alexpro laser system safely and effectively treats all skin types as well as tanned skin. For darker skin types and people with tan, appropriate parameters are set.  Generally lower fluencies and lower pulse lengths are set to prevent epidermal damage however one must bare in mind that this will ultimately lead to more sessions in the long run, but as they say ' Better safe than sorry!'

 

Are the results permanent?

 

The Alexpro laser is proven to work on hair removal and permanent hair reduction on all skin types and tanned skin. 

​

How many treatments are needed?

​

Not every one needs the same number of treatments. In order to achieve optimal results, multiple treatment sessions are required since the most effective time to reduce hair is in the growing phase. Therefore we recommend the treatments to take place within 4 to 6 weeks from each other for most areas. The time in between treatment sessions is a bit shorter for areas such as the face because it has a shorter hair growing cycle.
