These range from shorter-wavelength lasers like ruby (694 nm) to longer wavelength like Nd:YAG (1{u066B}064 nm). The target chromophore for all these laser systems is follicular melanin. Melanin content in both hair and epidermis varies widely across skin types. In darker skin types, there is an increased risk of epidermal damage due to obsorption of energy by the melanin in epidermis ER -
