Thanks for your question. Q-switch Yag is a great alternative for minimizing enlarged pores and toning the skin. Normally a course of 4-6 weekly or fortnightly sessions are required.Other alternatives could be skin needling, or IPL if you have a fare skin. Please make sure that...
Radiofrequency, whether external (like Exilis, or ThermiSmooth), or internal (Thermi-Tight), or ultrasound (Ultherapy) are more effective than Gentle Yag for skin tightening.
The Candela Gentle Yag is the ideal laser for hair removal for patients with darker skin. It is safe and effective and in my opinion the best laser hair removal system for type 4 or darker. Please consult an expert in laser hair removal for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
