Laser hair removal for POC with the Nd:YAG laser
Laser devices traditionally used for hair removal were incredibly sensitive to skin color and melanin, which is why many people with darker skin tones have not had good results with laser hair removal.
Today, the latest FDA-approved hair removal devices are extremely advanced and sophisticated. Candela Medical's Nd:YAG laser is specifically designed to detect the subtle changes in skin tone, meaning the device can remove hair regardless of your skin type. For you, this means safe and effective hair removal from head to toe.
