I am skin type IV and they used a Radiancy laser on me I went back to tell them and they said they couldnt see anything that their laser would of caused my whole skin around it to hypopigment because the laser is squared like a 4x6 but i do feel my skin changed a bit of color what do you think?

When it comes to laser hair removal you can expect the hair growth to slowly reduce after each session, the pattern is quite unpredictable and sparse but patients say it's all worth it.
The number of sessions required will depend on a few factors like; area of treatment, skin colour, hair...
We never put patients to sleep for Laser Hair removal. We can either use topical numbing creams or now we offer laughing gas to keep our patients more comfortable.
I have been using Cynosure lasers for a couple of years now and it works great on all skin types, including dark African American skin. It is really important that the laser operator is fully aware and understands all the settings. I really believe that you will have great results...
