True Alexandrite vs "Alexandrite" Laser Technology | What You Should Know

Not all devices marketed as "Alexandrite" are created equal.

In today's aesthetic market, some technologies are described using Alexandrite terminology - but do not utilize a true Alexandrite laser source.

 

Understanding this distinction  is essential when choosing a provider for laser hair removal.

What is True Alexandrite?

A true Alexandrite laser uses a solid-state Alexandrite crystal rod to generate a precise 755nm wavelength.

This wavelength is highly effective for targeting melanin within the hair follicle with both speed and accuracy.

 

True Alexandrite systems include: 

  • Candela GentleMax Pro

  • Candela GentleLase Plus

 

These systems are designed to deliver:

  • High-energy output

  • Consistent pulse delivery

  • Reliable long term results

 

What Some "Alexandrite" Devices Actually Are

Some devices described as "Alexandrite" use:

  • Flash-lamp based systems

  • Filtered light technology

  • Modified wavelengths through lenses

 

These systems may mimic certain wavelengths, but do not generate a true Alexandrite beam.

 

Power & Energy Delivery

True Alexandrite systems operate with:

  • High-voltage power systems

  • Strong, consistent pulse energy

  • Deep follicular targeting

 

In contrast, lower-powered systems:

  • May operate on reduced electrical output

  • Deliver less concentrated energy

  • Require more sessions for comparable results

 

 

Why This Matters For Results

The effectiveness of laser hair removal depends on:

  • The quality of the energy source

  • the consistency of each pulse

  • the ability to fully disable the follicle

 

True Alexandrite Systems Are Designed For:

  • Precision

  • Efficiency

  • Predictable outcomes

Consistency & Control with Candela Technology:

  • Each pulse is controlled and repeatable

  • Cooling is integrated and synchronized

  • Treatments are consistent across sessions

With Non-True Alexandrite Systems:

  • Energy Delivery may vary

  • Cooling methods may differ

  • Results can be less predictable
