Due to technological advancements, there are many kinds of treatments available in the market today. One of these is called alexandrite laser, and this is a very powerful equipment used in salons and clinics by licensed practitioners. Since there are no home devices of this sort that has been approved by the FDA, one must go to a clinic to have the procedure done.

Through amplifying a certain amount of light through radiation, a beam of light is produced. This beam is then used to hit the surface of an alexandrite crystal so that a red laser is made. The average size of this beam is about 750 nanometers and its length equates to how effective it will be when used on the skin of a person.

Alexandrite has a high level of efficiency because it utilized short and measured pulses instead of continuous laser emission. Not only that, it also has the capacity to reduce visible scars and birthmarks. Other people use the service in order to treat various age spots and also spider veins. This is also used for tattoo removal and clear skin can be achieved after a particular number of sessions.

Despite being the best in the market and applicable to different variations of skin and hair, it still has limitations. Despite being recommended to all types of hair, it still works best with thin and light colored ones. It is also better on lighter complexion because it makes it easier for the beam to penetrate the surface and take effect.

Experts claim that follicles will be removed by 70 percent after the recommended number of procedures.

Make sure that the practitioner will not neglect applying a cooling gel on the surface in order to prevent swelling, and to minimize the pain felt. Some patients will experience some initial itching and swelling, however that is expected to go away in a few days.

When selecting any sort of procedure, always make sure it has been approved and certified by the FDA. Ask to see any documentation or proof to assure safety and hygiene. Luckily, alexandrite is already an established and approved method since 1977. It is also highly important for the practitioners to have FDA clearance in order to operate the equipment and use the product on clients.
