The most effective lasers are the Lightshear, Alexandrite, and Intense Pulsed Light.

The Long pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG is, at best, only half as effective and requires many more treatments but is best for dark-skin types.

Laser hair-removal works best on dark hair and works very poorly, if at all on blond or grey hair.
