Asked By:cbg2115 in New York, NY

Hello, I’m an African-American looking to have laser hair removal on my beard to treat ingrowns. My skin tone would be classified as a 5 on the Fitzpatrick scale. Which settings for the YAG would be most appropriate and safest to use on my skin, including: Spot Size, Fluence (Joules), Pulse Duration, and Cryo? I’m aware that settings can differ from individual to individual, so I'm essentially looking for the safest settings or range of settings that would minimize skin complications. Thank you
