Alexandrite excels on fair skin thanks to its strong absorption by melanin. The Nd-YAG, with its 1064 nm wavelength, penetrates deeper and is absorbed differently, making it safe for darker skins.  <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why top-performing centers like CtrlZ are equipped with <strong>both wavelengths<\/strong> to suit all patients.<\/p>\n<h3>Alexandrite vs Diode: the match of efficiency<\/h3>\n<p>The diode laser (808 nm) is often presented as an alternative to Alexandrite. In reality, its intermediate wavelength makes it <strong>less selective<\/strong>: it detects fine melanin less well and generally requires more sessions. Its main advantage is treatment speed, thanks to larger heads, but at the price of lower efficacy.  <\/p>\n<h3>Alexandrite vs Intense Pulsed Light: laser or IPL?<\/h3>\n<p>Intense pulsed light (IPL) is <strong>not a laser<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a flash lamp that emits several wavelengths simultaneously (500-1200 nm). This diffused light is less precise and less powerful than the monochromatic beam of Alexandrite. The result: more sessions, less lasting results and a higher risk of burns on sensitive skin.

Modern lasers are equipped with cooling systems (pulsed cold air, cooled sapphire glass) that considerably reduce discomfort. If you are sensitive, an <strong>anaesthetic cream<\/strong> can be prescribed and applied 2 hours before the session.  <\/p>\n<h3>Is the Alexandrite laser dangerous?<\/h3>\n<p>When properly set up and used by a trained professional, the Alexandrite laser is <strong>extremely safe<\/strong>. It is neither carcinogenic nor sterilizing. The main risks (burns, depigmentation) arise from tanned skin or unsuitable parameters &#8211; hence the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctrlz.com\/fr\/en\/hair-removal\/expertise\/\">medical supervision<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<h3>Can the Alexandrite laser be used on the face?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the Alexandrite laser is widely used for facial hair removal: upper lip, chin, sideburns, cheeks. However, the risk of <strong>paradoxical regrowth<\/strong> is higher in these hormone-dependent areas. Prior assessment (sometimes hormonal) and adjustment of parameters are essential. At CtrlZ, we&#8217;ll never ask you to shave your face: we use clippers to shorten the hair.   <\/p>\n<h3>Alexandrite or Nd-YAG laser: which to choose?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on your <strong>phototype<\/strong>. Light skins (I to III) \u2192 Alexandrite. Matt to dark skin (IV to VI) \u2192 Nd-YAG. Slightly tanned skin \u2192 Nd-YAG. Ideally, consult a center equipped with both technologies to benefit from the laser best suited to your situation.    <\/p>\n<h3>Does the Alexandrite laser work on blond hair?<\/h3>\n<p>Very light blond, red, white or gray hairs contain little or no melanin. The Alexandrite laser cannot target them effectively. For these cases, only<strong>electrolysis<\/strong> offers a solution.  <\/p>\n<h2>Why does CtrlZ use the Alexandrite laser?<\/h2>\n<p>At CtrlZ, we have chosen to equip all our centers with <strong>dual-wavelength lasers<\/strong>: Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd-YAG (1064 nm).
