What is a real alexandrite laser - and why is it so special?
A genuine alexandrite laser works with a solid crystal of alexandrite and generates a precise wavelength of 755 nanometers. This wavelength is particularly well absorbed by the melanin in the hair, enabling extremely targeted and effective hair removal - especially on light to medium skin and fine to normal hair.
A high-quality alexandrite laser offers:
Very fast treatment times due to high pulse frequency
Minimal pain with high performance at the same time
Maximum precision for fine hairs - e.g. on the face or intimate area
Superficial penetration - ideal for hair that is close to the surface of the skin
Important: There are many systems that only advertise "alexandrite" - but are not real alexandrite. An authentic alexandrite laser uses a real alexandrite crystal and is priced from €50,000 upwards. Cheaper models often use pulsed diode technology with a similar wavelength - but not the same efficiency or accuracy.
Why are alexandrite lasers particularly interesting for beauty salons?
Studios that want to measurably differentiate their quality and treatment results opt for the genuine alexandrite laser - not just for reasons of prestige, but because:
Visible results often occur after just 1-2 sessions
fewer sessions are needed in total
even fine, light hairs are reliably removed
there is significantly less risk of side effects (for skin types I-III)
technological maturity & long-term stability is given
Alix Lasers® is one of the few manufacturers to offer alexandrite systems with AI-supported technology, powerful water cooling and an optional 4-wavelength module - for a maximum range of applications.
Alexandrite laser vs. diode laser - which is better?
Many studio owners ask themselves this question. Both systems have their justification - but the differences are sometimes significant:
Comparison: Alexandrite laser vs. diode laser
Wavelength:
Alexandrite: 755 nm → ideal for light skin, fine hair
Diode laser: usually 808 nm → good for medium to dark skin types
Depth of effect:
Alexandrite: superficial, precise
Diodes: deep-set, powerful for thick hair
Sensation of pain:
Alexandrite: often even more pleasant with proper cooling
Diodes: well tolerated in high-power systems
Cooling systems:
Alexandrite: often air-cooled
Diodes: mostly ICE or combined cooling
Area of application:
Alexandrite: face, arms, bikini, light types
Diodes: Legs, back, armpits, also for skin types IV-VI
Price level:
Alexandrite: real systems from €50,000 to over €70,000
Diodes: 15,000-40,000 €, depending on equipment
Conclusion: If you are looking for maximum precision, speed and professionalism - the Alexandrite laser is the first choice.

What to look out for when buying an alexandrite laser?
If you want to buy an alexandrite laser device, pay attention to the following points:
Is it a genuine alexandrite crystal (not a hybrid)?
Is the cooling strong enough for longer sessions?
What is the pulse frequency (Hz)?
Is there automatic skin type detection?
Is a manufacturer's warranty offered with a German contact person?
Does the provider also offer marketing support & training?
With Alix Lasers® you get a clear answer to all these questions - and a device that delivers consistently.
Conclusion: Alexandrite lasers from Alix Lasers® - the best your studio can offer
A genuine alexandrite laser is not a cheap decision - but a strategically correct one. If you run a studio that focuses on maximum efficiency, reliability, elegance and customer loyalty, then there is no way around an original 755 nm system.
Alix Lasers® not only offers you the device - but the decisive advantage.
