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.

ND YAG laser - sounds very technical for me.
you can try to call this aesthetic shop at Causeway Bay www.devilbeauty.com.hk. The aesthetician can speak fluent English and is licensed in the US. More importantly, they do NOT want you to spend money unnecessarily. You can just give them a call to seek for advice over the phone.

I have my armpits lasered with an ND Yag machine... forgot the name,but is USFDA approved at Dr Image CWB.Its about $4800 for 1 year unlimited treatments but you can only go once a month to avoid burning the skin.
I think they offer a nurses price too...but so far after 3 sessions I have'nt had to shave anymore.Just ask for Dora at 28332950.
A 1 year treatment is important as it takes at least 9 sessions I am told to remove all the hairs permanently.It's painful but beats waxing and helps with razor bumps.

Wow Diedra, thanks for responding. This is very helpful! I will def. be giving them a ring. Really appreciate it.

Because if you pay each time,you end up having around 8 sessions anyways and works out to be like almost twice the price in Dermis.I mean you have to be based in HK to have the full 1 year treatment though.

Not sure if this can get revived so far down the line, but I'm new to HK and looking to continue my laser treatment. I've had about 4 sessions in the UK, 1 on Alexandrite, 1 on Nyad and 2 on Diode. Have to say I liked Alexandrite the most - even though most painful (I found) it was also the most effective. Does anyone know where I might be able to do this in HK? Thanks in advance!
