How is Thunder MT different from a regular hair removal laser?
Thunder MT combines two wavelengths — a 755 nm alexandrite (for lighter hair and skin) and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG (for darker skin and thicker hair) — and can emit them simultaneously (Mixed Technology). That makes it effective for a wider range of clients than a single-wavelength laser.
Does Thunder MT work on dark and tanned skin?
Yes — that is its main advantage. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG penetrates deeper and has the best safety margin for darker phototypes. For dark phototypes we perform a laser patch test to assess the skin's reaction. With a fresh tan, the decision rests with the cosmetologist at the consultation.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal thanks to the advanced skin-cooling system. Most people feel only warmth and short pinpricks. Thunder is also one of the fastest lasers, so the session is short.
How many sessions and how often?
Typically 6–10 sessions every 6–10 weeks reduce hair by 80–90%. The laser only acts on hairs in their growth phase, hence the series. The number depends on hair colour and thickness and hormonal factors.
How much does Thunder MT hair removal cost?
A single area is 299 zł, a series of 4 sessions 1 100 zł (275 zł/session), a series of 6 sessions 1 500 zł (250 zł/session). Packages combining 2, 3 or more areas lower the price per area (from 130 zł/area).
Thunder MT or LightSheer Duet — which one?
LightSheer Duet (an FDA-cleared 800 nm diode) is very effective and comfortable, particularly with dark hair on lighter skin. Thunder MT, with its two wavelengths, additionally handles darker and tanned skin and more varied hair. We choose the best laser at the consultation.
Is the result permanent?
The laser's energy destroys the follicle's stem cells, so after a series the hair stops growing back. Hormonal factors affect how long it lasts; occasional maintenance sessions are sometimes advisable.
What is the Nd:YAG laser and when is it used?
Nd:YAG (1064 nm) is the wavelength with the deepest penetration and the weakest affinity to epidermal melanin — the best safety margin for dark and tanned skin (even phototype VI). In Thunder MT we use it alone or with the alexandrite.
Can Thunder be used in summer and all year round?
Yes — one of Thunder MT's main advantages. Thanks to the Nd:YAG wavelength, treatment is possible also on darker, tan-prone skin, all year round. With a fresh, intense tan the cosmetologist decides; we always protect the skin with SPF 50+.
Will Thunder remove lighter and finer hair?
The 755 nm alexandrite is dedicated precisely to lighter and finer hair, so Thunder MT handles it better than lasers working only on a longer wavelength. Completely grey and red hair (no melanin) cannot be removed effectively by any laser.
How long does a Thunder MT session take?
Thunder is one of the fastest lasers — the large handpiece covers big areas quickly. Small areas take a few minutes, larger ones (legs, back) up to about 30 minutes, the full body up to 90.
Laser hair removal for men with Thunder — is it possible?
Yes. Thunder MT excels with coarse, dense hair (back, chest, nape, beard), and the combination of wavelengths allows safe work also on darker or tanned male skin.
