Laser Hair Removal for East Indian

One good laser that works well on darker skin types such as East Indian is the Lyra laser with a wavelength of 1064. That is what we use at my center.  Make sure you go to a center with lots of laser experience and they should know what you need.

Best Laser Hair Removal lasers for ethnic or darker skin types

The laser that I would recommend for your skin type would be a long pulse 1064 nm YAG Laser. This laser is very effective and safe on all skin types. Make sure the physician who performs your procedure has experience with laser procedures on skin of color. Hope this helps. Dr D.
