HAIR REMOVAL DEVICE FOR STUDIOS
Diode laser, alexandrite, SHR or IPL? This comparison shows which technology suits which clientele, treatment volume and studio concept.
Three routes to hair removal
| Technology | Principle | Strength | Systems |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diode laser | Focused wavelengths (755 / 808 / 940 / 1064 nm) | Series operation, large areas, broad range of skin types | view → |
| Alexandrite + ND:YAG | 755 nm and 1064 nm with variable spot sizes | Fine hair and darker skin types in one system | view → |
| SHR / IPL | Broadband light with filters, in-motion technique | Flexible combination of hair removal and skin appearance | view → |
Six points for choosing a device
Clientele
Your clients' skin types, hair colours and treatment zones determine the required range of wavelengths more than any data sheet.
Treatment volume
With many treatments per day, repetition rate, spot size and cooling decide how many appointments realistically fit into a day.
Tolerability
Contact cooling, in-motion mode and parameter granularity shape the sensation – and with it rebookings and referrals.
Team operation
The clearer the device guidance, the faster new staff work confidently. ALIX SMART AI suggests parameters after scanning skin and hair.
Qualification & law
Professional requirements apply to laser and IPL applications in Germany (including the NiSV). We inform you per device and train via the ALIX Academy.
Operating costs
Handpiece lifetime, consumables, maintenance and service coverage belong in every calculation – not just the purchase price.
Treatment zones in everyday studio work
Face & neck
Small spot sizes, fine parameters, high comfort expectations.
Underarms & bikini
Short treatment time, high rebooking rate in the studio.
Legs & back
Large areas: repetition rate and cooling are decisive.
Darker skin types
1064 nm reduces melanin absorption in the epidermis.
