How does Alexandrite laser hair removal work?
During the procedure, the laser light is directed at the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by melanin. The generated heat destroys the follicle, thus preventing hair growth.
To whom is Alexandrite laser hair removal indicated?
ND:YAG Alexandrite laser hair removal is suitable for people who:
- Want to get rid of unwanted hair, on long term
- They have light skin and dark hair.
- They are healthy and have no active skin conditions
Additionally, ND:YAG Alexandrite laser hair removal may be beneficial for people who:
- Suffer from folliculitis: this inflammatory condition of the hair follicles can often be aggravated by traditional hair removal methods.
- Have hair that grows inside the skin: ingrown hair can be painful and cause infections. Laser hair removal can help reduce the number of ingrown hair.
- Have areas with excessive hair: whether it's the face, legs, armpits, or bikini area, laser hair removal can be used to treat any area of the body.
Contraindications and side effects
Although laser hair removal is a safe procedure, there are certain contraindications, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain medications, or medical conditions. The side effects are rare and may include redness, swelling, or small scabs, which usually disappear within a few days.
Laser hair removal, although a safe and effective procedure, is not suitable for everyone. There are certain medical conditions and factors that may prevent this procedure from being performed. Some of the most common contraindications include:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: hormones fluctuate during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which can affect the effectiveness of treatment and increase the risk of adverse effects.
- Active skin diseases: conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, herpes, or skin infections can complicate the procedure and delay healing.
- Skin tumors: the presence of tumors of any nature requires medical evaluation before starting treatment.
- Autoimmune diseases: conditions such as lupus or vitiligo can make the skin more sensitive to laser.
- Treatment with certain medications: some medications, such as anticoagulants or antibiotics, can increase the risk of bleeding or other complications.
- Excessive tanning: tanned skin absorbs more laser energy, which can lead to burns.
- Dark skin and light hair: the ND:YAG Alexandrite laser is most effective on light skin and dark hair. For darker skin tones, other types of lasers can be used.
- History of keloid scars: people with a tendency to form keloid scars may be more prone to their appearance after treatment.
The intensity of the sensation during treatment can range from a slight sting to a warm sensation, depending on the individual pain threshold and the area being treated. To minimize discomfort, local or topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure.

Why is it important to get hair removal done in a dermatology clinic versus a beauty salon?
Deciding on the right place for Alexandrite laser hair removal is crucial to achieving the desired results and minimizing risks. Although both dermatology clinics and beauty salons offer this service, there are several important reasons why a dermatology clinic is a safer and more effective option:
- Specialized medical expertise
- Dermatologist: in dermatological clinics, the treatments are performed by doctors who specialize in skin diseases. They have in-depth knowledge of skin anatomy, hair types, and their interaction with different types of lasers.
- Personalized assessment: the dermatologist will perform a complete assessment of your skin before treatment, identifying any potential contraindications or risks and tailoring the treatment to your specific needs.
- State-of-the-art medical equipment
- Advanced technology: dermatological clinics invest in state-of-the-art medical equipment, which ensures maximum precision and optimal results. In the case of Skina, the equipment is a 2024 high-performance one.
- Regular maintenance: the equipment is maintained and calibrated regularly to guarantee optimal performance.
- Safety and hygiene
- High standards: dermatological clinics adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and sterilization, thus reducing the risk of infections.
- Controlled environment: the clinical environment provides a sterile and controlled space, ideal for medical procedures.
- Side effect management
- Experience in treating complications: dermatologists are prepared to manage any side effects that may occur, providing appropriate treatments and advice for a speedy recovery.
- Holistic approach
- Personalized treatment: the treatment is not limited to hair removal within dermatological clinics. The doctor may also recommend other procedures or products that improve the overall appearance of the skin.
- Confidentiality and discretion
- Protection of personal data: Dermatology clinics attach great importance to the confidentiality of patients' personal data.
In conclusion, although beauty salons may offer hair removal services at more affordable prices, choosing a dermatology clinic guarantees you a safer, more effective and personalized experience. Investing in a treatment performed by a specialist is a guarantee for the health and beauty of your skin in the long term.
