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

Tags: neck, male, beard, razor bumps, recommendation

Advice appreciated. After reading this 500 comment thread, it seems like LHR is ideal for body hair but very problematic for treating the male neck/beard area. My skin type is 4 and I always get bad razor burns after shaving, regardless of technique/products. I'm 23 and wondering if I should wait, although the bumps are getting intolerably worse. 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. Make sure to speak with your dermatologist to make sure they have the right technology for darker skin types like yours. An Nd:YAG laser or diode laser (e.g. LightSheer Duet) would be particularly safe and effective for a darker skin type.

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

Genltemax and genleYAG

The main concern is the hyper pigmentation and skin burn with most hair removal system. GenleYAG can be be used for all skin types.
