Two wavelengths dominate laser hair removal, and the difference between them is not marketing. It is physics. Here is how 755 nm and 1064 nm devices actually work, who each one suits, and the questions worth asking before your first session.

A small share of patients finish a course of laser hair removal with more hair than they started with, usually just outside the treated border, and usually on exactly the skin and hair type most likely to book the treatment. Clinics often call it shedding. It is not shedding.

§ 04 · Frequently Asked
Depends on the concern. Pigment (sun spots, melasma) responds to picosecond and Q-switched lasers. Redness and broken vessels respond to IPL, KTP, and pulsed-dye lasers. Texture and wrinkles respond to fractional CO2 or erbium. Hair removal uses Alexandrite (lighter skin), Diode (medium), or NdYAG (darker). A dermatologist consultation identifies the right device.
