Are they any differences in effectiveness between lasers? Candela Gentlelase vs. Lumeins Lightsheer Duet

Question

I had my first laser treatment with the Gentlease on my back, shoulders, and upper arms and had good results. However, it was very painful. 6 weeks later I chose to be treated in the same area with the Lightsheer Duet which was much more comfortable. I trusted forum of hair removal I visit seems to praise the Gentlease far better than the Lightsheer. Naturally, time and money are my biggest enemies and want to get results.

I have been using the Gentlelase laser for hair removal for years with great results. If it is painful you can always apply a numbing medicine before the laser hair treatment.  Best, Dr. Green

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

At my practice we use the Gentlelase, the gold standard in hair removal, with incredible results. While it can be uncomfortable, a topical numbing agent and/or ibuprofen prior can help to dull the pain. With the right technician, this laser would be your best bet in achieving the beautiful, hair-free results you desire.
