What settings should be used on a diode laser?

Somanyquestionssolittletime
I bought a package of 8 diode laser treatments. The technician saw my shaven underarms and said that my hair is too thick and the laser will not work for me. She then tried to sell me the "medical" laser that would cost me a lot more, or if I wanted to stick with the diode, I would need to buy at least 20 sessions. I decided to stick with the 8 session plan. I have white skin and black hair. After the first session I took a photo of the settings she used. Thoughts on effectiveness of settings?
