The 1064nm and 755nm are used to treat light brown to jet black hair.  The 1064nm is safest for darker skin types but can be used on everyone, while the 755nm can only be used on skin types I-IV on the Fitzpatrick scale.  We also use the Zimmer Cryo 6 to help patients keep their skin cool and numb the area while being treated.
