Which are the most effective laser types or machines for removing unwanted hair? How do these compare to the home hair removal systems like Tria?

+1

IPL, alexandrite, diode, and Yag lasers work well for hair removal.

Dear Martha, The critical question is: Are you a good candidate for laser hair removal? If you have light skin and dark hair, you should be satisfied with most FDA approved light devices. Dark, coarse, fast growing hair like lip, chin, underarm, and bikini respond the best. It takes between 6 and 10 treatments to get optimal, long-term results. I hope this helps, and best regards.
