Besides the YAG laser, which other laser is best for hair removal?

matkk
I am shopping around for places in Chicago to get hair removal treatment (for pubic /Brazilian area), as I am an African-American woman. The place I am interested in offers Vectus Laser, which features the integrated Skintel™ Melanin Reader™... how have the effects of this laser been on patients of darker pigment? What are other lasers for hair removal that work for my skin type (type 4/5)?
