Alexandrite Against Nd:YAG Hair Removal Lasers
Each row sets one clinic beside the next on the same fields, in the order of the full ranking.
Alexandrite and Nd:YAG are two laser names you may run into while looking at hair removal. You do not need to know which is which to begin. You only need to know who to ask, and this page lines up four clinics to call.
How the middle of the order was chosen
Thirteen Sacramento-area clinics are ordered by how many treatment types each lists on its own website, highest count first. Younger You Aesthetics lists 8 treatment types on youngeryouaesthetics.com, its value for "Treatment types listed on the clinic website (of 8)" and the reason it holds first place. The table below covers sixth through ninth place in that order.

Two questions that do the heavy lifting
- Which laser do you use for hair removal, alexandrite or Nd:YAG?
- Why is that the right one for my skin and my hair?
Reading to try before the call
Cleveland Clinic has a page on how laser hair removal works and what to expect, and its cosmetic and plastic surgery section adds a laser hair removal procedure page.
For cost and trade-offs, WebMD covers the benefits, side effects and cost of laser hair removal. Healthline has a page on laser hair removal side effects and risks.
The simplest place to start
Pick two names from the table and send both clinics the questions above. The one that answers in plain words is the one to book first.
To ask about laser types, begin with Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California or Natomas Laser & Aesthetics. Both names mention lasers, and the second also carries the name of the area this guide is written for.
