Blend-X technology explained and why it’s a safer, more effective results for ‘ALL” skin types.
Blend-X technology uses 2 very specific wavelengths called Alexandrite and Nd:YAG simultaneously in one pule! Here’s how it works.
An alexandrite laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. When the laser is absorbed by the melanin, it is converted into heat. This heat travels down the hair and damages the hair follicle which inhibits its ability to grow new hair.
The alexandrite laser is effective in hair removal, because it’s wavelength is well suited to selectively target the melanin (color) of the hair, while without harming the surrounding skin tissue.
An Nd:YAG laser is another type of laser for hair removal, especially on individuals with darker skin tones. The laser emits a specific, longer wavelength of light that can penetrate deeper into the skin and allows it to bypass the melanin in the skin more effectively. This longer wavelength is absorbed by the melanin at different depths and has the capability to target and coagulate the blood vessels that supply the hair follicle. By doing so the hair follicle is also destroyed by cutting off its blood supply.
Using both alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths simultaneously in one pulse, is a technique known as blend technology. If a laser machine has such advanced technology, it can offer several advantages in laser hair removal treatments.
Enhanced hair removal efficacy
The combination of both wavelengths can target the hair follicle at different depts and with varying levels of melanin absorption. That along with cutting off the blood supply to the follicle, results in a more thorough and effective hair removal results compared to using either laser alone. The follicle is essential destroyed from the top and bottom at the same time.
Reduced risk of side effects
Faster treatment and less sessions required
Simultaneously using both wavelengths in one pulse can speed up the hair removal process by targeting a larger area of skin with each treatment. In a single pulse of the laser, skin is exposed to both the Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing for the concurrent targeting of hair follicles at different depths and with varying levels of melanin absorption. This process combined with the coagulation of the blood supply to the follicle results in faster treatments and less treatments required to achieve endpoint results.
Overall combining alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths in one pulse provide the most comprehensive and effective approach to laser hair removal, offering enhanced results with reduced risks and treatment sessions.
