It is a type of laser hair removal that uses a specific wavelength (usually 808 nm).
- The light targets the melanin at the hair root and destroys the follicle with thermal energy.
Benefits:
- Safe and effective for most phototypes (especially types III-V).
- Fast and tolerable (often has a cooling system).
- It can be used on large areas of the body.
- Less chance of burns than other lasers (e.g. Alexandrite), especially on darker skin.
