I'm a 23 y/o girl from Bahrain so we normally have black hair. I've been doing laser for my face "fine hair" every month or 2 for 6 years now. I tired several machines/brands till currently (Vectus Palomar) which I believe is good so I decided to do my arms+legs+bikini & results are pretty good. so I'm thinking to do my back+tummy but I'm afraid I will experience the same thing as my face (becomes more hair instead of less). so, which machine/brand mentioned in the Q is the best for fine hair?
