Laser hair removal is not one programme. Melanin in skin and hair decides which wavelength is safer. Alexandrite 755 nm is often useful for dark hair on lighter skin, while Nd:YAG 1064 nm is more often preferred on darker skin because it reaches deeper and is absorbed less in the epidermis.
Iraqi skin is diverse, so assessment includes skin tone, hair density, body sites, and any history of burns or post-inflammatory pigment. Cooling, fluence, and spot size are adjusted to limit heat injury to skin while still affecting the follicle.
Venezia has platforms such as Splendor X Alpha, Thunder MT, Clarity II, and GentleMax Pro. Device choice is a medical decision after consultation, not an advertisement. White hair may need a different pathway. Content reviewed by Dr. Reham Asaad.
