What setting should be used in a Cynosure Elite machine Nd:Yag for type IV/V Indian skin?

Question

I went recently for my first appointment and barely felt any discomfort in my legs and sideburns. I want her to increase the setting for my next appointment as I really want to maximize the efficacy of the treatments. I had no side effects, redness, swelling etc afterwords.

Cynosure Elite Plus laser has the ability to treat all skin types due to it’s duel wavelength technology; 755 and 1064. Usually the 1064 wavelength is recommended for skin types V-IV. In some practices, providers may choose to start with a more conservative treatment, however this should not alter the efficacy.Best of luck!
