Apex(TM) 800 diode laser system for hair removal information
The Apex 800 is a fiber-optically delivered high powered diode laser system that offers appropriate parameters for clinical efficacy, safety and maximum speed.
The 800 nm 800 DiodeDiode at this time is probably capable of treating skin types 1, 2, 3; possibly 4, 5; and maybe 6. I would personally wait for more information and experience before recommending this machine. In my opinion, the Ultimate Light™ pulsed light is the best overall machine for treating all six skin types based on safety and long term use (over nine years).
However, for effective short-term treatment of skin types 1 to 4, I believe that the 800 nm 800 DiodeDiode is satisfactory.
The Apex 800 features:
- Spot size 7mm 8.5mm 10mm
- Pulse duration 5-30 ms
- Energy to spots size max 40 32 34 J/cm2
- Cleared for hair removal 9 Dec 1999 (K992298)
The Apex 800 has FDA marketing clearance for hair removal on all skin types.
