Which type of laser would you recommend for a darker skin tone?

Jan 12, 2023
I'm looking to have facial hair and body hair treated with laser for feminization. I know a lot of lasers can be problematic with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), so which devices and brands of laser would you recommend for dark skinned trans woman or nonbinary femme patient? Are there any special considerations to account for if I'm taking HRT?
