Understanding the Difference With Wavelengths
Traditional 1-Wavelength Diode vs EternaQUAD 4-Wavelength Hair Removal System
Hair removal technology has come a long way, and at EternaQUAD, we are at the forefront of these advancements. Laser hair removal has been a go-to solution for people seeking a longer-term, more efficient method for getting rid of unwanted hair.
However, not all laser systems are created equal.
Traditional diode laser systems have been around for years, offering reliable results. But with the introduction of EternaQUAD’s 4-wavelength diode laser hair removal system, we’ve taken innovation to a new level.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the differences between the conventional single-wavelength diode system and the revolutionary EternaQUAD 4-wavelength system, highlighting how these differences can enhance your hair removal experience.
What is a Diode Laser Hair Removal System?
To understand the difference between these systems, it’s important to first get a basic idea of what a diode laser hair removal system is. A diode laser uses focused light to penetrate the skin and target hair follicles.
The energy from the laser destroys the follicle, significantly reducing or entirely preventing further hair growth in the treated area. Over the years, diode lasers have earned a reputation for being safe, effective, and widely preferred for their ability to treat a range of skin tones and hair types.
The Traditional 1-Wavelength Diode Laser
The single-wavelength diode laser operates using one laser wavelength, typically around 810nm. This is a wavelength that can penetrate deeply into the skin, allowing it to target hair follicles effectively.
Traditional diode lasers using this wavelength have provided successful results for many users, especially those with lighter skin tones and darker hair. The 810nm wavelength is considered the “gold standard” in hair removal for its balance between safety and efficacy.
However, despite its broad application, the single-wavelength system has limitations. It may not be as effective on all skin types and hair colours, particularly lighter or finer hair, and it struggles with deeply rooted hair in people with darker skin tones.
The focus on just one wavelength limits its ability to provide the same effectiveness across a wide demographic of users.
Introducing EternaQUAD: The Next Generation in Laser Hair Removal
The EternaQUAD system takes diode laser technology to the next level with its advanced 4-wavelength system. By utilising four distinct wavelengths in one device, the EternaQUAD addresses the limitations of the traditional diode laser and offers superior results for a wider range of skin tones and hair types. This multi-wavelength approach ensures that the laser can target hair follicles at different depths and across multiple melanin concentrations, providing a much more comprehensive treatment.
The four wavelengths included in EternaQUAD are:
- 755nm (Alexandrite Laser): This wavelength is highly effective for lighter skin types and is particularly good at targeting fine or light-coloured hair that the traditional 810nm diode laser may miss.
- 810nm (Classic Diode): This retains the strengths of the classic diode laser and works well across various skin tones, providing safe and effective results.
- 940nm: This wavelength penetrates even deeper into the skin, making it more effective for treating thicker, coarser hair.
- 1064nm (Nd:YAG): Known for its safety on darker skin tones, the 1064nm wavelength reduces the risk of burns or discolouration while still effectively targeting hair follicles.
With these four wavelengths combined, EternaQUAD offers an unprecedented level of precision and versatility in laser hair removal.
Key Differences Between 1-Wavelength and 4-Wavelength Systems
Versatility in Skin Types
Traditional 1-wavelength diode lasers can be limited in their ability to treat all skin types. The 810nm wavelength is generally effective but can pose challenges for those with darker skin tones or lighter hair. The EternaQUAD system, with its combination of four wavelengths, overcomes these barriers, providing safe and effective hair removal across all skin types and colours.
Precision in Targeting Hair Follicles
Single-wavelength lasers may struggle to precisely target follicles at varying depths, which can result in inconsistent hair removal results. The EternaQUAD system, on the other hand, uses different wavelengths to target hair follicles at multiple depths. This leads to more uniform and thorough hair removal, even in areas with coarse or stubborn hair.
Speed and Efficiency of Treatment
Because EternaQUAD uses multiple wavelengths simultaneously, treatments are more efficient. The system can target various types of hair in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple sessions. This can lead to faster results with fewer treatment sessions required, saving both time and money in the long run.
Comfort During the Procedure
Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable for some, especially with older, less advanced systems. The EternaQUAD system is designed with advanced cooling technology to keep the skin comfortable during treatment. Additionally, its multi-wavelength approach minimises the need for higher energy outputs, reducing the risk of irritation or pain.
Customisability of Treatment
Because the EternaQUAD system incorporates four different wavelengths, it allows for highly customisable treatments tailored to each individual’s skin type, hair type, and treatment area. This personalisation results in better overall outcomes compared to the more generic approach of a single-wavelength diode system.
Why Choose EternaQUAD for Your Laser Hair Removal Needs?
The beauty of EternaQUAD lies in its versatility and power. By using four different wavelengths in a single device, the system provides a level of customisation and precision that is unmatched by traditional diode lasers. Whether you have light, fine hair or dark, coarse hair, EternaQUAD can target your hair follicles with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring better and longer-lasting results.
Moreover, EternaQUAD’s superior technology means fewer treatment sessions and less discomfort during the procedure. In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency is key, and EternaQUAD delivers that in spades, allowing you to achieve smoother skin faster and with fewer visits.
