How it works: 755 nm and melanin
Light energy is absorbed by melanin in the hair and converted into heat. The growth-active hair root is disrupted. Not every hair is in the right phase at once – hence several sessions.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the Alexandrite laser do for hair removal?
At 755 nm, melanin in the hair shaft and root absorbs strongly. The resulting heat damages the growth-active hair root – the basis for hair reduction over several sessions.
Who is Alexandrite especially suitable for?
Classically for lighter skin types with dark hair. For darker skin we also use Nd:YAG in the Motus PRO – we discuss this after skin type assessment.
Why combine Alexandrite with Nd:YAG?
So we can adapt parameters to skin tone and zone instead of one wavelength for everyone. That increases safety and flexibility.
Is Alexandrite more painful than other lasers?
With Motus PRO cooling, most people experience the session as low-pain. Sensation is individual and zone-specific.
How does Alexandrite differ from diode laser and IPL?
Alexandrite and diode lasers are lasers with a fixed wavelength; IPL is intense flash light with a spectrum. Which technology fits depends on skin, hair and device – not on the marketing name alone.
Where can I find Motus PRO device details?
We are happy to explain how it works and its safety features in your consultation.
Can I combine Alexandrite laser with a holiday?
You should avoid strong sun and solarium around sessions. Details are in the preparation & aftercare guide.
Can I book Alexandrite sessions online?
You can request appointments via Treatwell or WhatsApp. In the first consultation we set wavelength and plan.
