Benefits of Alexandrite laser - Uses in Hair removal and Tatoo Removal
The Alexandrite laser is a laser that removes natural and unnatural pigmentation, such as tattoos. Named after the Alexandrite crystal-which gives this laser its unique corrective properties-the Alexandrite laser shoots the skin with pulses of concentrated light energy that is visible to the eye as the color red.
The laser's miniscule wavelength passes through the skin and then strikes the pigmented cells underneath the skin's surface and obliterates them. This procedure can help lighten sun freckles, skin discoloration such as melasma, and the pigmentation that sometimes follows a rash that has faded. The Alexandrite laser is not used for skin repair.
In addition, this laser effectively removes unwanted hair. When used properly, it can target pigment cells in the hair near the area where hair growth begins, and thereby destroy the hair at its root. .
Similar to other lasers, the Alexandrite carries a small risk of leaving a pigmented mark at the target site. Darker skinned people are at higher risk. If a "cooling tip" is added to an Alexandrite laser there will be a large decrease in pain and side effects. Consult your dermatologist for possible risks.
