The gold standard in epilation is the Alexandrite Laser. Because the alexandrite laser gives energy at a wavelength of 755 nm, this wavelength is the most effective wavelength for the hairs. Alexandrite laser is very effective especially in people with white skin and black hair. In other words, there must be alexandrite laser in epilation. So, when are we going to use the ice laser? We will use the ice laser to support the alexandrite laser in dark skinned or tanned people, thin hair and light colored people. In other words, ice should not be used alone in laser epilation, but to support the alexandrite laser. If ice is used as a single device in laser epilation, the number of sessions will increase a lot. Because ice laser is actually a diode laser. The diode laser produces energy at a wavelength of 810 nm. This wavelength is not as sensitive as the alexandrite laser to melanin, the substance that gives color to the hair. In other words, diode laser is not as effective as alexandrite laser on hair. For this reason, diode laser alone is not as successful as alexandrite in epilation, it requires more sessions. Another issue is that the aleksandrite laser sheds the hairs immediately, and you have a hair-free, clean period between sessions. The diode laser only sheds the affected hairs, other hairs remain in the area.
So, what is the advantage of ice laser? Ice laser bronze contacts can also be done safely. Because the diode laser is less absorbed by the substance that gives color to our skin, called melanin. Melanin is found both in the hair and on the surface of the skin. When you tan, melanin in the skin increases. Melanin-sensitive devices such as alexandrite laser are held by the melanin in the skin in bronze people, and if the dose is not adjusted, a burn occurs.

In short, using more than one device at the same time gives the best results in laser hair removal. Alexandrite laser must be used in areas such as underarms and lower legs with black, thick hairs. Using alexandrite laser and ice laser together gives better results in areas with thin and light hair such as arms and face. Thin hairs are difficult, if alexandrite laser alone or ice laser alone is used, the number of sessions will be very long.

Whatever laser you choose, remember that the device must be FDA-approved. Unfortunately, the fact that the device is sold and used in our country does not indicate that it has FDA approval, but few devices from hundreds of brands have FDA approval, you should research this issue specifically.
