Will Change of Machine Effect the Treatment?

I've dark hair on my face and am undergoing laser treatment. I've completed 10 sittings but the improvement isn't substantial cause of the fact that the hair growth ( colour being little lighter than before) still exists and since i am fair it is visible.am presently using soprano laser,since I'll be shifting to another place i may have to change my dermatologist. what precautions do i need to take when i go to a new dermatologist? also why is it taking longer time for the hair growth to reduce?

A: Tough situation

You are in luck!  Switching Dermatologists may mean switching laser device for your hair removal which may be beneficial to your treatment.  The soprano laser is an 810nm diode laser.  If your skin is light, you may want to find a Dermatologist who has an alexandrite 755nm laser as this may be more effective.  If you truely have light skin and dark hair, you should have better results after 10 treatments.  The problem may be that your hair is not dark or thick enough to get a good treatment.  You should check with the physician if they think you are a good candidate.  For some with a lot of blonde or red in their hair, no matter how many treatments you have, lasers don't work.
