Im male 29, seek laser hair reduction in underarms, chest and abdomen area- The clinic that i visited did a patch test on me using both Soprano and nd Yag- Soprano was not painful but nd Yag was. Im apparently a skin type III. Im from India but light skinned for most Indians. I want to play it safe and obviously see results longer term. Which is better for me - Soprano or ndYag? thanks.
