Hair Removal with Alexandrite AIR technique

Classic Alexandrite Laser – Maximum Power and Precision

Alexandrite AIR is the classic form of Alexandrite laser – one of the most powerful and proven technologies for permanent hair removal. With its 755 nm wavelength, high peak power and extremely fast pulses, AIR technology is particularly effective on darker hairs and areas where maximum accuracy is desired.

This is the technology for those who want to understand how a traditional Alexandrite laser works and why it is still one of the most respected laser types in the world.

What is Alexandrite AIR?

Alexandrite AIR is a classic Alexandrite laser that works with:

  • 755 nm wavelength – gold standard for hair removal
  • high fluence per shot – powerful energy directly into the hair follicle
  • dot-by-dot delivery
  • air cooling instead of contact cooling

This makes AIR a technology with very high precision and power, especially effective on:

  • thicker hairs
  • thin light hairs
  • areas with dense hair growth
  • body areas where you want maximum effect per shot

How Does Alexandrite AIR work?

During AIR treatment, the laser fires individual, powerful pulses at the skin. Each pulse heats the hair follicle to approximately 72°C, causing it to stop producing hair.

The technology is based on:

  • high energy per pulse
  • short pulse duration to hit melanin without damaging the skin
  • air cooling that blows cold air over the skin during the treatment

This provides a very effective treatment, but also a more intense sensation compared to Moveo.

Alexandrite AIR vs. Alexandrite Moveo

Alexandrite AIR

  • individual shots (dot-by-dot)
  • air cooling
  • high fluence per pulse
  • more intense sensation
  • very effective on thicker hair

Alexandrite Moveo

  • contact delivery with sapphire tip
  • multipass / in-motion
  • lower fluence per pulse but many pulses
  • more comfortable

Both techniques are extremely effective – but they work differently and are therefore used strategically depending on the area and hair type.

What hair and skin types can be treated?

Alexandrite AIR works best when the hair is darker than the skin. It is particularly effective on:

  • skin types I–III and light IV
  • dark, thick hair
  • areas such as the back, chest, arms and legs
  • it is the best laser alternative for very light and thin hair or for very stubborn hair growth.

Hair that cannot be treated effectively:

  • white hair
  • gray hair
  • red hair

How does a treatment with Alexandrite AIR feel?

Because AIR works with powerful individual shots, the treatment is experienced as:

  • fast
  • intense
  • more “rubber band snapping” than Moveo

The air cooling makes the treatment more comfortable, but AIR is generally more powerful in feeling than Moveo.

Treatment interval and number of treatments

  • Face: 4–5 weeks
  • Axillae and intimate area 4–5 weeks
  • Body: 8–10 weeks
  • Around: 6–10 treatments in a preliminary round

The number is affected by hormones, genetics, area and sex chromosomes.

Benefits of Alexandrite AIR

  • very powerful per shot
  • fast treatment time on large areas
  • high precision
  • extremely effective on thicker hair
  • also handles thin, light hair

Why we use Alexandrite AIR

We use Alexandrite AIR because the technology offers:

  • maximum effect per pulse
  • high precision in spot treatment
  • proven and well-known technology

That makes AIR a perfect complement to Moveo – two technologies that together cover all hair types and needs.
