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

The longer yag laser beam is definitely the best option for skin types 5 and 6. The gentlemax pro laser works very well.

Hello, we use the syneron candela gentle max pro which includes a 1064 wavelength (yag) for darker skin. It's very important that you go to an experienced provider that can treat your skin appropriately. Keep in mind that laser hair removal is a process and patience is key. With darker skin the energy needs to be lowered as to not burn the patient which means more sessions are necessary.

Cutera is generally known to have the best Nd:YAG technology. Another option to consider is a diode laser like the Alma Soprano Ice which should be safe in most skin of color except Type VI skin. Good luck!
