Laser Hair removal in HK

Posted by 1975 (43 days ago)

Anyone know of a salon/clinic in Hong Kong that uses the ND YAG laser for hair removal. I know there are a couple of specialist laser hair removal places which have been mentioned in past threads but when I looked into it, they don't use this specific type of ND YAG laser. Any info would be gratefully received! Thanks

Nd-Yag is not permanent, so not many people uses it. You should go for alexandrite laser.

Thanks Johl, that's helpful to know actually. Why I am interested in Nd-Yag is because it is really is the safest for darker skin - and a few of my friends in the UK have used it successfully with no side effects etc. One had previously experienced a bad reaction to another laser.

I see. Well, Alexandrite 1064nm is the choice for you then. It is stronger than NdYag 1064nm but just as safe. Again it is not proven permanent but could be (permanent = no recurrence within 3-4 yrs). Even with Alenxandrite 755nm, which is proven permanent, has some recurrence. Another choice for you is more treatment with a lower energy with 755, or that new treatment with a clamp and ultrasound to shatter each hair individually which doesnt involves laser but takes a hell of a long time.

Wow Johl - thank you very much! That's the most helpful response I've ever had. And you knowwhat you're talking about, which is tremendous. Thank you. I really do appreciate it and will now seriously look into Alexandrite.
