Choosing the Right Laser Hair Removal Device
Laser hair removal has become an increasingly popular method for long-term hair reduction because it helps minimize new hair growth and prevents unwanted side effects such as ingrown hairs or follicular bumps. Today, there are two main options: portable at-home laser devices and professional laser machines used in aesthetic clinics, and their effectiveness differs significantly.
If you’re wondering which option suits you best — how the two types differ, how often treatments should be done, and how many sessions are needed for optimal results — this article will break it down clearly. We’ll also introduce the Cool Yag 1064 Hair Removal Program at V Square Clinic, known for its outstanding combination of effectiveness, safety, and value for money.

How Do Laser Hair Removal Machines Work, and Who Are They Suitable For?
Laser hair removal machines work by using focused light energy (laser heat) to target and destroy hair follicles deep at the root. This process slows down hair regrowth, causes the new hairs to become finer and lighter, and gradually reduces overall hair density. With consistent treatments, many patients experience long-term or near-permanent hair reduction.
While laser hair removal is highly popular among women, it also delivers excellent results for men.
It is suitable for individuals with the following concerns or goals:
- Those who want smooth, hair-free skin for a cleaner look and more confidence when dressing.
- Those with thick or dense body hair, which can cause discomfort, body odor, or trapped sweat.
- Those whose skincare products don’t absorb well or experience flakiness when applying makeup.
- Those struggling with ingrown hairs or keratosis pilaris from shaving, waxing, or plucking.
- Those with sensitive skin or chemical irritation from hair removal creams or mousse.
- Those seeking long-lasting or permanent hair reduction for smoother, clearer skin over time.
Types of Laser Hair Removal Technologies
Laser hair removal technologies, whether performed at a professional aesthetic clinic or with a portable at-home device, can be divided into five main types. Each type differs in terms of wavelength, hair color compatibility, skin tone suitability, and treatment depth, making them ideal for different body areas and skin types.
Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser hair removal machine
The Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser (commonly called the YAG Laser) uses a 1064 nm wavelength specifically designed for hair removal. It precisely targets hair roots without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Advantages: Suitable for all skin tones and all hair types, both thick and fine. Works well on small or detailed areas.
- Precautions: May cause slight discomfort during treatment. Often paired with a cooling air device, numbing cream, or cooling gel.
- Common treatment areas: Effective on almost all areas, including the face, bikini line, underarms, arms, and legs.
Diode Laser Hair Removal Machine
The Diode Laser is one of the most widely used technologies for hair removal in aesthetic clinics. It operates at wavelengths between 800–1350 nm (most commonly 800–810 nm) and is effective for large treatment areas, suitable for all skin tones, and works particularly well on thicker hair strands.
- Advantages: Stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth and refine skin texture.
- Precautions: If the laser energy is set too low, it may stimulate blood vessels and cause hair to grow thicker. A cooling gel is required during treatment, and if hygiene standards are not maintained, there is a risk of contamination or infection.
- Common treatment areas: Large areas such as arms and legs
Alexandrite Laser hair removal machine
The Alexandrite Laser is highly popular in Europe and uses a 755 nm wavelength that effectively targets melanin pigment. It works best for dark hair on fair skin, making it ideal for broad areas like the arms and legs.
- Advantages: Fast and efficient treatment time.
- Precautions: Not recommended for tanned or darker skin tones due to a higher risk of irritation or burns.
- Common treatment areas: Arms and legs.
Ruby Laser hair removal machine
The Ruby Laser operates with a shorter 694 nm wavelength and was one of the earliest technologies used in Europe. It works best on fair skin tones and is less suitable for Asian skin, as it cannot penetrate deeply enough to fully destroy hair roots.
- Advantages: Suitable for delicate skin areas and can also help improve certain types of pigmentation.
- Precautions: Less effective for deep-rooted hair and may cause irritation or burns in individuals with darker skin.
- Common treatment areas: Typically used on the face.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal machine
IPL is not a true laser — it uses broad-spectrum intense pulsed light with multiple wavelengths. While it was once common in aesthetic clinics, it’s now less preferred for hair removal because the energy is less specific and requires more frequent sessions.
IPL is now mostly found in portable at-home hair removal devices.
- Advantages: Can also address other skin issues such as melasma, freckles, dark spots, and redness.
- Precautions: May irritate darker skin tones, and because the light is non-specific, it doesn’t effectively destroy hair roots, requiring frequent maintenance.
- Common treatment areas: Typically used on the face.
Which Laser Hair Removal Technology Is Best for Thai Skin?
For Thai skin tones — ranging from fair to medium and tan — the most suitable technologies are the Long Pulse Nd:YAG and Diode Laser, as both effectively target hair at the root while remaining safe for all skin types.
Among these, the Long Pulse Nd:YAG is the most recommended option because it works well on both large and small, detailed areas such as the underarms, bikini line, and facial areas.
For those concerned about discomfort or who prefer to avoid the extra step of applying cooling gel and numbing cream, V Square Clinic offers the Cool Yag 1064 program using the Light B Evo Long Pulse Nd:YAG system — certified by the U.S. FDA, European CE, and Thai FDA.
It is paired with the Cryo 7 cooling air system, which provides adjustable cooling levels without interfering with the laser beam, ensuring a comfortable and efficient treatment experience.
Clinic Laser Hair Removal Machines vs. At-Home Devices
Laser hair removal at aesthetic clinics and at-home laser devices differ in several key aspects. To help you understand clearly, let’s look at a detailed comparison — covering safety, treatment areas, frequency, and cost.
This comparison focuses on the Long Pulse Nd:YAG laser — the same technology used in the Cool Yag 1064 program at V Square Clinic, renowned for its high efficiency and safety — and compares it with portable at-home laser hair removal devices.
Are Laser Hair Removal Devices Safe?
- Clinic Laser Machines:
Safe when performed with genuine, certified devices and operated by trained professionals who understand hair anatomy and laser settings — such as licensed physicians or qualified laser therapists. Proper energy calibration ensures both safety and optimal results. - At-Home Laser Devices:
Generally safe when the device is genuine and certified. Always purchase directly from authorized manufacturers to avoid counterfeit products.
Follow the user manual strictly, including wearing protective goggles, adjusting energy levels correctly, and using the device only on approved body areas to minimize risks.
Which Areas Can Laser Hair Removal Be Performed On?
Both clinic-grade laser machines and at-home laser devices can be used on various parts of the body depending on individual needs. Common treatment areas include:
- Facial areas: Fine facial hair, upper lip, beard, sideburns, and hairline.
- Sensitive areas: Bikini line, Brazilian area, and intimate zones.
- Body areas: Underarms, arms, legs, chest, abdomen, and back.
Clinic laser treatments typically cover a wider range of areas due to advanced technology and professional handling.
For at-home laser devices, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Some models feature replaceable cartridges or adjustable energy levels, but may be inconvenient to use on hard-to-reach areas like the back or face.
How Many Laser Sessions Are Needed, and How Often?
- Clinic Laser Machines:
Noticeable results after the first session.
A course of 5–8 sessions, spaced about once a month, is recommended.
Hair becomes thinner, grows slower, and may eventually stop growing. - At-Home Laser Devices:
Typically used once per week for 1–3 years to maintain results.
Hair becomes finer but may not completely disappear.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
- Clinic Laser Machines:
Mild discomfort during treatment is normal but easily tolerable.
Most clinics use numbing cream, cooling gel, or cooling air devices to enhance comfort.
At V Square Clinic, the Cool Yag 1064 program features the Cryo 7 cooling system, adjustable down to –30°C, which cools the skin without disrupting the laser beam — keeping patients comfortable throughout the treatment. - At-Home Laser Devices:
Usually cause mild or no pain, as the energy levels are lower for safety reasons. However, this also means the laser cannot reach as deep into the hair roots as clinic-grade devices, so more frequent and longer use is needed before visible results appear.
The Cool Yag laser hair removal procedure at V Square Clinic utilizes the Long Pulse Nd:YAG Light B Evo laser system paired with the Cryo 7 cooling air device.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
- Clinic Laser Machines:
The Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser typically starts from 500 THB per session, depending on the treatment area, size, and clinic promotions.
Purchasing a package of 3, 5, or 10 sessions reduces the cost per session and provides better value overall. - At-Home Laser Devices:
The average price ranges from 4,000–5,000 THB per device, though some models can cost over 10,000 THB, while cheaper options may start under 1,000 THB.
The key is to choose a certified, high-quality brand. Low-quality or uncertified devices may cause skin irritation or burns.
Even though portable devices may appear cheaper, they often come with hidden costs. Many models have a limited number of light pulses, requiring replacement cartridges or even purchasing a new device once the limit is reached. When factoring in these expenses, the overall cost may be similar to receiving professional laser treatments at a clinic.
Clinic Laser vs. At-Home Devices — Which Is Better?
Both options have their pros and cons.
At-home laser devices suit those who prefer convenience and self-care at home — provided they are disciplined and consistent. However, results tend to be slower and less effective, with additional maintenance costs over time.
If your goal is effective, long-lasting hair removal and budget allows, a professional clinic laser treatment is the better investment. It delivers noticeable results from the very first session, requires fewer treatments overall, and ensures safer outcomes under expert supervision.

In-Clinic Laser Hair Removal — A Safe and Worthwhile Choice with Expert Care
Choosing laser hair removal at a professional clinic is a smart and worthwhile investment. It provides clear, long-lasting results by effectively reducing new hair growth — unlike portable home-use devices that require frequent repetition. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking both beauty and convenience in their grooming routine.
However, it’s crucial to choose a certified clinic that uses FDA-approved laser systems (U.S. FDA, European CE, and Thai FDA) and is operated by trained professionals with a solid understanding of hair and skin anatomy. This ensures that every treatment is safe, effective, and truly worth the investment.
