Comprehensive Guide to Laser Hair Removal Types for Effective Treatments
Introduction to Laser Hair Removal Types
Laser hair removal has revolutionized the medical beauty industry by offering a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair. At CIELLULU, a leading laser beauty equipment brand founded by the original Rickard team in 2010, we specialize in delivering safety, effectiveness, and professional innovation through our high-quality devices. This article delves into the various laser hair removal types and their unique applications, helping clinics and professionals choose the right technology for their clients.
What Are the Main Types of Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works by targeting melanin in hair follicles with specific wavelengths of light, which destroys the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The key types primarily differ by the laser technology used, including:
- Diode Laser
- Alexandrite Laser
- Nd:YAG Laser
- Ruby Laser
Diode Laser Hair Removal
The diode laser is one of the most widely used laser hair removal types due to its versatility and efficacy. It emits a wavelength of approximately 800-810 nm, allowing deeper penetration into the skin and targeting the hair follicle effectively. This technology is particularly well-suited for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types III-VI) because of its balance between melanin absorption and safety.
CIELLULU’s advanced diode laser devices incorporate optimized cooling systems to enhance patient comfort and reduce skin irritation during treatments, making them ideal for clinical use worldwide.
Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal
Operating at a wavelength of 755 nm, the Alexandrite laser is highly absorbed by melanin. It is most effective for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I-III) and works best on fine, light to medium hair. Alexandrite lasers offer fast repetition rates, making sessions quicker and more comfortable.
CIELLULU’s PICO laser series features Alexandrite options that provide precision removal with reduced recovery times, allowing clinics to deliver enhanced patient experiences.
Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
The Nd:YAG laser operates at a longer wavelength of 1064 nm, enabling deeper skin penetration and less absorption by melanin. This makes it the safest option for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) while effectively treating coarse hair.
CIELLULU integrates Q-switched Nd:YAG laser technology into our product portfolio, focusing on safety and effectiveness, critical for diverse patient demographics.
Ruby Laser Hair Removal
As one of the earliest laser hair removal technologies, the Ruby laser uses a 694 nm wavelength effective primarily on very light skin types with fine hair. However, it has mostly been replaced by newer technologies like Alexandrite and diode lasers due to slower repetition rates and limited efficacy on darker skin tones.
Choosing the Right Laser Hair Removal Type
Selecting the best laser hair removal type depends on several factors including hair color, skin type, pain tolerance, and treatment speed. Experienced professionals at CIELLULU recommend customizing treatment protocols based on these parameters for optimal results.
CIELLULU’s Commitment to Safety and Innovation
Founded in 2010, CIELLULU has consistently upheld the principles of “safety and effectiveness” and “professional innovation.” Our extensive product line includes diode, PICO, and Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, among other advanced technologies like radio frequency, ultrasound, and HIFU.

How to Post-Treatment Care ?
After laser treatment for acne, proper care is essential to ensure optimal results and to minimize side effects. Here are some guidelines for post-treatment care:
1. Avoid Sun Exposure: The skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after the procedure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin.
2. Keep the Skin Clean and Moisturized: Gently cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser and keep it moisturized. Avoid using harsh or abrasive skincare products.
3. Avoid Picking or Scratching: Do not pick or scratch the treated areas to prevent infection and scarring.
4. Follow Doctor’s Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your dermatologist, including the use of prescribed topical medications.
5. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal and maintain its health.

Skin Rejuvenation
What types of skin rejuvenation treatments are available?
-
IPL Laser (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat various skin issues. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by pigmented cells and blood vessels, which are then broken down and eliminated by the body.
Benefits:
Effective for reducing sunspots, age spots, and freckles.
Can treat vascular lesions such as broken capillaries and rosacea.
Stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.
Minimal downtime and discomfort.Diode Laser emit a concentrated beam of light that penetrates deep into the skin, targeting the deeper layers where collagen and elastin are produced. This promotes the regeneration of these vital proteins.
Benefits:
Deep penetration leads to significant collagen stimulation.
Effective for treating wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
Can also be used for hair removal and treating vascular lesions.
Provides long-lasting results with a series of treatments. -
Q-Switched Laser deliver short, high-energy pulses of light that target and break down pigmented cells and tattoo ink particles. The fragments are then naturally removed by the body’s immune system.
Benefits:
Highly effective for treating pigmented lesions such as melasma, sunspots, and freckles.
Can remove tattoos and other deep-seated pigmentation.
Minimal damage to surrounding tissue, making it safe for various skin types.
Short treatment sessions with minimal downtime.Other skin rejuvenation treatments include: Chemical Peels / Microdermabrasion / Microneedling /Laser Resurfacing
ND-yag laser
How the Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Works
-
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser works by targeting specific pigments in the skin, which target the damaged skin cells in the treatment area.
When it comes to laser tattoo removal, laser tattoo removal machines target ink pigment and break it up into smaller particles through powerful bursts of energy. The ink is then absorbed into the bloodstream and eventually expelled from the body.
The nd yag laser machine utilizes two energy frequencies: 1064 nanometers to target deeper skin layers and 532 nanometers to address hyperpigmentation and more superficial layers.
-
Laser Generation: A switch laser crystal is stimulated by an external energy source, such as a flashlamp or another laser, causing it to emit light.
-
Q-Switching Mechanism: The Q-switch temporarily stores the energy and then releases it in a single, high-energy burst. This creates a pulse of laser light with very high peak power.
Laser for Pigmentation: The laser's energy is absorbed by pigmented structures in the skin, such as tattoo ink, melanin (in the case of pigmentation issues), or hemoglobin (in vascular lesions). The absorption of this energy causes the pigments to break down into smaller particles.
Natural Healing Process: The body's natural healing processes then remove these fragmented pigment particles over time, resulting in the gradual fading of the tattoo, pigmentation, or vascular lesion.
