Is it okay to use 2 different lasers for laser hair removal treatment?

While it is often necessary to use more than 1 laser to achieve best outcomes when performing laser-assisted hair removal, it is difficult to predict when it will be time to change devices.That decision is one which is typically made after evaluating the thickness and color of the hair and the underlying skin type.  Laser-assisted hair removal is a medical treatment which requires advanced decision-making in some situations; it should not be performed by simply following a standard formula.

Thank you for your question about laser hair removal, laser hair reduction.Yes, sometimes it is necessary to use more than one kind of laser for laser hair removal.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

At Ethos Spa we have two type of FDA cleared lasers.  In our experience in laser hair removal it had shown that no one laser can be used on all skin types and colors. Darker skin types need a particular YAG laser for a safe and effective treatment. At Ethos Spa we use the Alexandrite laser for lighter skin types, which is considered the gold standard in laser hair removal.
