What Lasers Are Used for Hair Removal at Aesthetics and Wellness of Katy?
Our latest hair removal laser, the Inmode Fusion, complements our Cutera ND Yag laser and offers our patients, long-term results for both dark course hair as well as more advanced treatment for lighter brown hair.
Inmode Fusion Light and Fusion Dark
The Fusion Light laser uses both the Alexandrite crystal to produce the 755 nanometer (nm) wavelength as well as the Diode crystal to produce the 810 nm wavelength. These combine to target medium brown hair of skin types 1-5 and can be very effective as your treatment series progresses to destroy those pesky, finer lighter brown ones.
More importantly it has an internal smart sensor that allows for adjustment to your body’s temperature and hair types in real time. This is a unique and powerful advanced technology that has won awards and provided outstanding patient results.
It’s safety profile is next to none. With an innovative internal triple contact-cooling device, Fusion hair removal ensures the treatments are comfortable, safe and pain-free.
The Fusion Light and Fusion Dark is truly a hair removal workhorse and the reason why its been awarded the New Beauty 2024 Award Winner in Hair Removal.
Cutera XEO ND Yag
The Cutera Xeo ND Yag Laser rounds out our laser hair removal services by offering excellent results and safety for tanned skin as well as it can treat all skin types. It is our choice for patients who want hair removal and have darker skin tones such as Fitzpatrick skin type 5 or 6.
Many people with these skin tones have been reluctant to do hair removal in the past but now can have wonderful results and peace of mind for the safety of their skin.
Even patients who suffer with Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (facial ingrown hairs) often can be a problem for darker skin types. However, with the Cutera ND Yag hair removal laser, patients achieve clearer skin in just a few treatments.
Not only is this laser safe but also it is FDA approved with the label for permanent hair reduction for all skin types. The Cutera hair removal laser uses a 1064nm wavelength to which is the reason why it can be used safely. With it’s amazing ability to reach temperature quickly, it provides a great treatment every time.
The Cutera laser also has an internal cooling device that makes the treatment comfortable and safe.
All areas of the body can be treated with this laser.

How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses crystals inside the laser to target chromophores based on the various wavelengths in each laser’s specific technology. One of these chromophores is melanin or the pigment color of your hair, such as red, brown or blond. It will draw heat based on its intensity. This is why it is impossible for a laser to treat or destroy white hair and very unlikely in the case of blond and red to get permanent laser hair reduction.
Laser hair removal works to remove unwanted hair by destroying the hair bulb in the treatment area. By targeting the body hairs attached in the hair bed, it generates energy to accomplish their destruction.
Since not all hairs are attached but are on their way out of the body, multiple treatments may be required. By the end of your treatment package, many of your hairs will be permanently destroyed, providing you with long-term hair removal benefits.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
