The 810 nm and 808 nm wavelengths are the most commonly used in diode laser hair removal treatments. A wide range of laser safety glasses are available to protect against these wavelengths, but selecting the right pair depends on whether you also need protection against additional laser types or wavelengths.

If you’re using multiple systems—such as those that combine 810 nm and 1064 nm (Nd:YAG)—you’ll want multi-wavelength protection. Models like the LG-001, LG-001N, LG-002, and LG-002N offer broad coverage, making them ideal for clinics using a variety of lasers.

However, if you're only working with 810 nm or 808 nm diode lasers, it's best to choose glasses that are specifically designed for this range. The LG-016 laser safety glasses provide targeted protection at 785–820 nm with an Optical Density (OD) of 6, offering 1,000,000× attenuation at 810 nm. Because they are optimised for this narrow band, they provide a superior Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 61%, allowing clearer vision during treatments—especially important for precision and client comfort.
