Meet the lasers Diode Alexandrite Nd YAG and fractional carbon dioxide made simple
Think of our hair-removal trio as a toolbox: each wavelength shines for a different job and skin tone. The Diode focuses energy deep at the follicle for coarse, stubborn hair; Alexandrite is lightning-fast and picks up finer hairs on lighter skin; Nd:YAG reaches deepest and bypasses surface pigment, making it the most forgiving option for medium to deep tones or tanned skin. Sessions are quick, with built-in cooling for comfort, and spacing every 4-8 weeks lets hair cycles catch up.
- Diode (≈810 nm): Versatile workhorse for coarse, dark hair on light to medium tones; great for larger areas like legs and back.
- Alexandrite (755 nm): Fast passes and excellent pickup on lighter skin with fine to medium hair; a favorite for arms and upper lip.
- Nd:YAG (1064 nm): Safest for deeper complexions and recently tanned skin; also helpful for small vascular concerns like leg veins.
- Pro tip: Shave 24 hours before, skip waxing/epilators for 3-4 weeks prior, and pause sun exposure/retinoids to reduce sensitivity.
For texture, scars, and fine lines, fractional CO2 works like aerating a lawn: it creates microscopic channels in the skin, prompting a powerful collagen rebuild while leaving surrounding tissue intact for quicker recovery. Expect smoother tone, tighter pores, and softened scars over the following weeks, with improvements that keep building as new collagen matures.
- Targets: Acne scars, fine lines, crepey under-eyes (with conservative settings), sun damage, and stretch marks.
- Feel + recovery: Warmth like a sunburn; typical social downtime 3-7 days, with lingering pinkness that fades gradually.
- Plan ahead: Give yourself 2-4 weeks before big events; use gentle hydration, SPF 50+, and avoid makeup until skin fully re-epithelializes.
- Combo ideas: Alternate with pigment or vascular lasers between resurfacing sessions, or pair with mesotherapy/PRP for extra glow.
- Skin tones: Best for fair to medium; deeper tones may need gentler settings or alternative approaches-ask your clinician at Kozmetika for a personalized plan.
Match the method to you Skin tone hair color and sensitivity with clear recommendations for best results
The right laser isn’t a one-size-fits-all choice-it hinges on your skin tone, hair color, and sensitivity. Think in terms of wavelength and how deeply the light travels: shorter wavelengths target pigment more aggressively on lighter skin, while longer wavelengths are gentler for deeper tones. Here’s how to pair your profile with proven technologies for smooth, comfortable progress.
- Fair-light skin (Fitz I-III) + dark hair: Choose Alexandrite 755 nm for quick, efficient sessions and fast reduction. Skip if you’re actively tanned.
- Medium-tan skin (Fitz III-IV) + brown-black hair: Opt for a Diode 810 nm; it offers a versatile balance of power and safety across a wider range of tones.
- Deep skin (Fitz V-VI) + coarse/dark hair: Go with Nd:YAG 1064 nm-its deeper penetration bypasses epidermal melanin for the safest experience on richer complexions.
- Very light, red, gray, or blonde hair: Lasers have limited targets here. Consider electrolysis for definitive results, or discuss specialized strategies in-clinic.
Comfort and safety matter just as much as speed. If your skin is easily reactive, favor devices with robust cooling and a cautious start. Space sessions to sync with hair growth cycles, and keep your barrier happy with simple, consistent care before and after treatments.
- Sensitivity: Begin with lower fluence, longer pulse durations, and strong contact/air cooling. Always request a patch test.
- Pre-care: Shave 12-24h before, avoid sun/solariums and self-tan 2 weeks prior, stop retinoids/AHAs 3-5 days before, and skip waxing or epilation for 4 weeks.
- Post-care: Cool compresses, fragrance-free moisturizer, and strict SPF 50+ for 2 weeks. Avoid heat workouts, saunas, and exfoliation for 48-72h.
- Scheduling: Face every 2-4 weeks, body every 4-8 weeks. Expect 6-8+ sessions (more for hormonal areas); maintenance may be needed.
Your session game plan Prep sun care shaving timing comfort options and aftercare that truly help
Think of this as your pre-game ritual: a few small choices now make your results smoother and your appointment calmer. Keep your skin in a happy, neutral state-hydrated, calm, and free of irritants. Prioritize sun care, plan your shaving timing, and keep your schedule flexible for best outcomes. If you’re on any photosensitizing meds or using strong actives, check in with your provider first so we can tailor your plan without surprises.
- Sun care: Avoid direct sun and self-tanner for 10-14 days pre-visit; wear broad-spectrum SPF 30-50 daily and reapply. A hat and UPF clothing are your stealth MVPs.
- Shaving timing: Close shave 12-24 hours before your session; skip waxing, tweezing, and depilatories for 3-4 weeks prior (we need the follicle intact). Use a clean, sharp razor and a gentle, fragrance-free gel.
- Skincare pause: Hold retinoids, exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide, and scrubs for 3-5 days pre-visit. Arrive with clean, dry skin-no oils, makeup, deodorant, or perfume on the area.
- Smart scheduling: Book around workouts, sauna time, or big events; skin can be more reactive during your cycle. Hydrate well and wear loose, breathable fabrics.
During your appointment, comfort is a team sport. We can use cooling, pacing, or numbing if appropriate-just ask. Afterward, think “calm and protected” for 48-72 hours. A few consistent habits here dramatically improve recovery, reduce irritation, and keep results on track between sessions.
- Comfort options: Topical numbing (if approved), cool air, quick breaks, deep breathing, or your favorite playlist. Communication is key-tell us what you feel.
- Cool and soothe: Apply cool compresses in short intervals; use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or pure aloe/thermal water mist. Skip alcohol-based or fragranced products.
- Heat and sweat timeout: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours. Keep the area clean and dry.
- Product pause: No retinoids, acids, scrubs, or exfoliating tools for 3-5 days. If makeup is needed, wait 24 hours and choose non-comedogenic, mineral options.
- Sun shield: Daily SPF 50 on treated areas, plus shade and hats. This protects against pigmentation changes and helps results last.
- Regrowth reality check: Expect “shedding” at 1-3 weeks-it’s normal and not true regrowth. Don’t pick; gently exfoliate after day 3-4 if advised.
- Between visits: Only shave (no waxing/tweezing). Pre-book sessions consistently (usually every 4-8 weeks depending on area) to stay in the follicle’s active phase.
Finding your expert in Kozmetika What to ask patch test protocols device upkeep and realistic pricing
Start by shortlisting clinics in Kozmetika that lead with safety and transparency, then interview them like you would any specialist. You’re trusting someone with your skin, so look for proof that they handle different tones, textures, and concerns with care-not just marketing gloss. Ask how they personalize settings, why they recommend a certain device for your goals, and how they measure success beyond a single session.
- Credentials you can verify: Who performs the treatment (nurse, dermatologist, laser therapist)? What certifications and continuing education do they hold?
- Experience with your skin type: Request before/after photos for your Fitzpatrick type and concern (hair removal, pigmentation, vessels, acne scars).
- Patch test protocol: Is a patch test mandatory? Where is it placed, what energy/spot size is used, and how long do they wait (typically 48-72 hours) before full treatment?
- Safety planning: How do they assess risk (medications, sun exposure, melasma)? What is their process for managing burns, PIH, or other adverse events?
- Treatment mapping: Do they document fluence, pulse width, passes, cooling, and endpoints each visit for consistent, trackable results?
Great outcomes rely on well-maintained tech and honest pricing. Don’t be shy about asking what brand and model they use, how often it’s serviced, and how they keep handpieces calibrated-strong devices with poor upkeep can still underperform. Then get crystal-clear on costs so you can compare apples to apples across Kozmetika clinics.
- Device upkeep: Which platform (e.g., alexandrite, Nd:YAG, diode, PDL, IPL brand/model)? How often are services, calibrations, and spot-size verifications logged-and can you see the records?
- Hygiene and safety: Eye protection for your wavelength, disposable tips where applicable, and room disinfection between clients.
- Realistic pricing: What’s included (consult, patch test, numbing, cooling, aftercare)? Any fees for missed spots, touch-ups, or late cancellations?
- Value over “cheap”: Package discounts, pay-per-session options, and whether they charge by time, area, or pulses-plus how many sessions they expect for your goal.
- Aftercare support: Written instructions, check-ins, and clear guidelines for sun protection, actives, and timelines for visible change.
