    TLDR The long-pulse alexandrite laser is good for removing hair and treating skin problems like spots and veins.
    The long-pulse alexandrite laser, with a 755nm wavelength, is effective in treating various dermatological conditions due to its specific absorption by melanin and hemoglobin. It is commonly used for hair removal and the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions among other skin issues. This review summarizes the current research and developments in the clinical application of the long-pulse alexandrite laser for these disorders, aiming to guide and inspire its use in cosmetic dermatology.
