Which laser hair removal machine would you recommend for my skin type? I am an south asian male 30 year old with black hair...
From your photos it looks as if you are skin type III or IV.
I would recommend the Neodymium Yag Laser. (1064 nm)
It works very well in dark skin types.
Make sure that you are being treated by an experenced Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
Anyone heard about Soprano super hair removal? they claimed FDA approved for all skin types & painless. Is this true?
The Soprano Laser (810nm) is a very good Laser for Hair Removal for all skin types, although for types IV and V and VI I prefer the Nd YAG (1064nm) Laser.
The amount of pain depends on the density and depth of the hair follicles.
There is no truly painless Laser for Haior Removal.
Make sure that you are treated by an experienced, Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
but it only reduces for about 60% of my underarm hair and some fine hairs are growing still. I want to find other lasers that will totally eliminate my underarm hair to nearly 90% after IPL. Is Lightsheer ET best for me? It is the only available laser near our place. Daisy (light skinned with dark underarm hair)
IPL will knock out the biggest hairs. It is however not a laser, but an intense pulsed light. To get the remainder of the finer hairs you need a laser with two specific qualities:
First the laser energy needs to be preferentially absorbed into the dark pigment in the remaining hair follicules. The alexandrite laser (and others) are ideal for this.
Secondly, the laser has to be very powerful to get a lot of energy in a very quick blast (or pulse width). Not all can do this. The Candela-Syneron, and Cynosure lasers have this ability. I do not know about the Lightsheer ET.
Perhaps you could express your hesitation, and work out an arrangement - where the endpoint, cost and your satisfaction are agreed upon in advance.
