Dr. Charles Mok explains which lasers work best for different skin types. The 810 nm diode laser is versatile for light and dark skin, while the 1064 nm laser suits darker skin and hair. High-repetition-rate, low-fluence techniques have been mostly tested with diode lasers.

810 nm

1064 nm

High-repetition-rate, low-fluence

There's many machines that work. They use different wavelengths. Lasers range from wavelength that targets more of the blonder hair to targeting more of the darker hair and darker skin types. And there's one right in the middle that can go both ways. That's what most people are using now is what's called a diode laser. That's 810 nanometers and that can be fine tuned to treat darker skin and lighter skin. The 1064 laser is maybe more suitable for dark skin, dark hair. But the high repetition rate, low fluence has been studied pretty much in the diode lasers for the most part. It.
