What type of laser hair removal technology
(system) is right
for me?
YAG laser emits an intense beam of light which
passes safely through the upper skin layers to the
underlying strata. Hair follicles are then
eliminated, which treats the problem without harming
the skin. YAG laser can be used for effective hair
removal by all types of patients, including those
who have tanned skin which is something that other
lasers cannot always do.
However, there is not sufficient evidence that this
laser can produce effective long-term hair removal.

cannot always do, But there is still not a ideal
