The Alexandrite 755 and LightSheer will both work for your fair skin and dark hair. However, 755 would be slightly more effective due to its shorter wavelength and your fair skin.

Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment for the most common areas of the body, including the face, back, legs and arms. Unfortunately, vellus hair and light/grey hair are the most difficult types of hair to remove.  Electrolysis will work regardless...

Hi, Thanks for posting your query here for us. Quite diffucult to give you a suggestion without viewing a photo of the affected area. May be folliculitis which can be addressed by topical antibiotics. Kindly consult your provider.
