The Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has the longest wavelength of all the lasers commonly used for hair removal at 1064nm and as such shows a decreased affinity for absorption in the epidermal melanin. Reduced absorption results in less skin heating in comparison to other hair removal systems, therefore, there is a lower associated risk of epidermal damage.
The Nd:YAG is considered to be the safest laser for darker skin types, especially for the treatment of skin type VI. Reduced melanin absorption means that skin penetration depths are relatively high, enabling the laser energy to easily cause lethal follicular damage and remove hair long-term.
