Hello! I am of Chinese descent with light coloured skin in the winter and olive ish skin in the summer with black medium length hair (not super coarse nor super fine). I'm interested in laser hair removal and I'm debating between 2 clinics in my area. One offers the gentle max pro and the other a diolaze laser and I'm not too sure which one would be best suited for me. Thank you!

Yes, I’d start with a series of laser hair removal treatments. If that doesn’t work then consider Miradry. Miradry shuts down sweat glands which are part of the root issue with HS. Good luck!
