810nm Diode
For informational purposes only. Not medical advice.
What It Is
810nm (sometimes listed as 808nm) is the wavelength of diode lasers, the most common type used for hair removal. If your clinic uses an 810nm diode, it is a real laser.
The Brand Matters
Not all 810nm diode lasers are equal. The wavelength is just physics. What determines your results is the machine behind it.
A clinical-grade LightSheer Duet costs $60,000–$100,000. An unbranded import can cost as little as $3,000. Same wavelength, vastly different power output, cooling systems, and engineering quality.
Ask Your Clinic
"What brand and model of 810nm diode laser do you use?"
