Aurora (w/RF technology), Harmony,
EpiLight, PhotoDerm, Quantum, Aculight, Vasculight,
Palomar Starlux and EsteLux
The capabilities of each of these machines vary.
EpiLight is the most specific and advanced for hair
removal. PhotoDerm is the original machine developed for
successfully treating facial Rosacea, facial blood
vessels, leg veins, and other blood vessels. EpiLight is
a specialized improvement of PhotoDerm developed to
specifically treat unwanted hair. Ultimate Light™ pulsed

2.Nd:Yag Laser (1064 nm wavelength)
CoolGlide, GentleYAG, Lyra-i, Sciton,
Apogee Elite, Medlite IV,Varia,
The Nd: Yag laser systems include: CoolGlide, Medlite IV,
Varia, Athos, Lyra, and Image.
The Nd: Yag is capable of treating all six skin colors.
However, there is not sufficient evidence that this laser can
produce effective long-term hair removal.
Nd: Yag and 800 nm Diode lasers are being promoted for use in
the darkest skin colors ...

3.Diode Laser
(800nm or
810 nm wavelength)
LightSheer, SLP 1000, F1 Diode,
MeDioStar, LaserLite, Epistar,Apex 800, Comet (w/RF
technology), Palomar SLP 1000
In my opinion, the Diode laser is the next most
useful hair removal light source and the most promising laser for
hair removal.
The Diode laser systems include: SLP 1000, F1 Diode, Light
Sheer, MeDioStar, LaserLite, Epistar and Apex 800.
The Diode laser's longer wavelength of light thereby penetrates
into the hair follicle without causing as much epidermal injury as
the Ruby or the Alexandrite. This Diode laser can be used on
darker skin colors than the Ruby or Alexandrite ...More About Diode Laser
4.Alexandrite Laser (755nm wavelength)
GentleLASE, Apogee, EpiTouch Plus
The Alexandrite laser systems include: GentleLASE, Apogee, and
EpiTouch Plus.
While claims have been made regarding safety in treating darker
skin types such as type 3, or even 4 and 5 (brown skin), I would
not recommend using these two lasers for treating
unwanted hair in any skin type other than very white skin.

RubyStar, E2000
.The Ruby laser systems
include: RubyStar and Palomar E2000.
