How Effective and Safe is LightSheer Duet for Medium-dark East Indian Skin?

The LightSheer Duet is a terrific, safe and effective laser hair removal system used in all skin types. That said, with darker skin, we would encourage you to have a test patch, and presuming everything goes well (typically), then we would continue with a series of 4-8 treatments, depending on the location, your goals etc.

The Light Sheer Duet is an excellent laser that is safe for all skin types when used in the right hands. We have one in our office, and being a bit pain averse myself, I find this to be the only way to approach hair laser removal! Its 75% faster and I find it to be more efficacious/better tolerated!

You can always do a test site as suggested, and by all means, stay out of the sun to prevent any further unwanted side affects such as hyperpigmentation. The best of the hair lasers target pigment/melanin's absorption peak most accurately. If you are dark skinned,. then the pigment in your skin also will compete for the laser energy. We can control some factors on our side with the laser technology (cooling the epidermis, lowering the parameters on the laser to more conservative setting, etc) we use, but this is operator dependent and you should go to someone who is familiar and comfortable with darker skin types. Definately stick with a Diode or an ND:Yag for your skin type.

Good luck! HLR is the best alternative to waxing out there...and in the end more cost effective!
