Which Nd:Yag Laser performs best for laser hair removal from dark skin? Fewest sessions? Least painful? Less risk for burns?

Polite83090
I recieved services for laser hair removal but after 6 sessions it's not that much hair removed. I have dark skin - and they put me on a Sciton laser then switched to a Light Shear (painful and not effective) . I want to go to a place where they have the best Nd:Yag laser as a normal dark skinned women.
