Alexandrite laser is a type of laser that is especially effective for people with dark skin tones and dark hair. This laser has a wavelength of 755 nanometers and targets the hair roots by affecting the melanin pigment. Alexandrite laser is a safe and effective method and is frequently used by many skin and beauty specialists.

The basic working principle of the Alexandrite laser is to break down the hair roots by targeting the melanin pigment. Melanin is a natural pigment found in the skin and hair. By applying high energy density to the melanin pigment, the Alexandrite laser destroys the hair roots and prevents the hair from growing. In this way, a permanent and effective hair removal process is performed.

Alexandrite laser is especially effective for people with dark skin tones and dark hair. However, successful results can also be achieved in people with light skin tones and light hair. During laser application, skin and hair color are carefully evaluated and the most appropriate laser settings are determined.
