Best Laser Hair Removal Technology for Razor Bumps on Male Front Neck Region?

What's the best LHR tech/machine for this region/or any bttr alternatives?

Treating neck area with laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is very effective and safe, but you need to pick the right patient and use the right laser.

Best laser hair removal for neck in men

We reviewed all the available options for hair removal and believe that the best overall choice is diode utilizing Lumenis LightSheer Duet. It works on all skin types, has the highest efficacy compared to all other treatment modalities and most importantly hurts the LEAST! Alexandrite and Yag are both effectively but are extremely painful. IPL is extremely painful, can't be used on all skin types and only partially effective. Stay away from this. more
