How effective is Lynton Lumina 650 on permanent hair removal for type II skin?

gl102345Mar 8, 2017
Hello, I have had a consultation for laser hair removal using the lynton lumina 650 and was told I have skin type II . I have since been doing research online and it seems that IPL treatment is not as effective or permenant as laser treatment? I have a mixture of hair that is coarse and fine but all dark. Would it be better for me to get laser treatment for better/longer lasting results or will IPL work just as well on my skin type?

The diode laser typically has a large spot size and can treat areas relatively rapidly, effectively, and relatively comfortably. If you are not tolerating this particular laser, consider an alexandrite (755 nm wavelength) laser.

Because laser hair removal only targets the hair follicles that are currently in their active growth phase, not every single hair is treated during any one treatment session. For that reason, it’s completely normal to still see and feel hair in the targeted area even directly after treatment. A...

Thank you for your question. Electrolysis is a little better then plucking the hair. However, laser hair removal is a more permanent solution but is not precise and you may end up with an unusual shape to your brows. Plucking the brows allows you to shape them the way you want. I recommend...
