Is Alexandrite better than Nd: YAG or Diode for Laser hair removal specifically for underarms of someone with mixed Asian/Caucasian background?I read somewhere that underarm hair follicles are much deeper than other hair follicle depths. I also read that the Alexandrite laser only penetrates about 2 mm deep.Therefore would it actually be effective for long-term hair-reduction using Alexandrite lasers on underarm hair? Or should I consider getting treatment with Diode or Nd:YAG instead?

Answer: Best Laser Hair Removal Treatment Thank you for your question. A wide variety of medical lasers and light systems are used to remove unwanted hair, however most lasers are not effective for all skin types and hair colors. The Elos laser hair removal system is designed for permanent hair reduction by combining both optical and radiofrequency energy to deliver satisfying, longer lasting results with less discomfort than previous laser systems. All skin and all hair colors including gray and blonde hair are effectively treated. Faces, backs, arms, legs, faces, and bikini lines can be treated including those individuals with darkly pigmented skin. Treatments are administered every 4 weeks and generally 3 to 5 treatments are sufficient. Best of luck!

Answer: Alexandrite vs Nd:Yag for Hair Removal With the darker hair that you have you should get good results with either type of laser. I use both with similar success rates. I use the Alexandrite a little more often with lighter or finer hair.
