I have a typical middle eastern tone not too dark not too light. I did IPL over 10 years ago it was effective on corse dark hair but not finer hair such as facial hair which I actually also have on my lower back and abdomen. I am eager to get rid of that fine hair which is noticeable since it has color to it. What would be the most effective laser machine to get rid of that hair or at least reduce it significantly. Thanks!

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--Takes a series of treatments
Laser hair removal offers permanent results but only a fraction of the hair follicles are susceptible to treatment at any given time. That is why multiple treatments are needed. We typically start with recommending a bundle of 5 treatments for patients that have not had prior laser hair removal.
Tanning after laser hair removal is typically not suggested. Assuming you want the best possible results, I would recommend waiting for laser hair removal until winter when your skin is the lightest it can be. A laser hair removal treatment usually works best on a lighter...
We treat the upper body every 4-6 weeks and the lower body every 10-12 weeks. You could be seeing a difference because of different lasers being used. As long as you are 4-6 weeks for upper body you should be fine.
