Which laser is best for beard removal on skin type III or IV?

perthboy
which laser is best for skin type 3 or 4 with black hairs for laser beard removal? i had the candela alexandrite on a test patch and it was tolerable. also is it normal to have a painful recovery after beard removal?. everytime i get it done i get all these little bumps which turn into whiteheads but i think it also raises the whole beard area making it look and feel like traumatic. what could be causing this as im willing to do anything to have hair reduction!. thanks
