Make sure you are going to a licensed dermatological center, not just a spa.

They should not use Nd:YAG laser on you unless you have dark olive, medium-brown to black skin. Going every month is also too often-- they should have told you to come every 6-8 weeks. They also need to know how to use the proper settings. It depends on the area of your skin-- different areas have different rates of hair growth and different hair root deepness. Some hair roots are closer to the surface than others, on different parts of your body. Your doctor or clinician needs to acknowledge this.
