I have had 15 treatments with the Alexandrite Gentlelase candela. As I have continued to educate myself more about the types of lasers suitable for my skin type, I am now starting to doubt whether I should continue using the Alexandrite laser or switch to the Cynosure Elite nd:YAG laser. I would like to know which one would be the MOST EFFECTIVE for my skin type and hair thickness. The pictures were taken two weeks after my last laser treatment.
