    Decision Matrix

    • Homogeneous clientele with skin types I–III: Single 808 nm is sufficient.
    • Mixed clientele including skin types IV–VI: Triple wavelength is mandatory.
    • Tanned skin during summer months: Triple wavelength reduces treatment downtime.
    • High-end positioning: Triple wavelength clearly functions as a premium feature in marketing.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Does Triple Wavelength actually consist of three separate lasers?

    Yes, it uses three diode stacks with defined wavelengths combined into a single handpiece.

    Does Triple Wavelength shorten the treatment time?

    Indirectly yes, because fewer sessions are required to effectively target all hair types completely.
