Better for olive skin and coarse hair: Sharplight laser or soprano XL?

Question

I have a medium olive skin tone and have an Iranian ethnic background. I am looking to get laser hair removal of my underarms and full brazilian where I have coarse black hair. I also want to get laser hair removal in the buttocks and upper/lower back region, where my hair is black but not as coarse. Which laser type/brand would you recommend?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best for hair removal. It will take a series of treatments See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, and thank you for your question. Yag laser 1064nm would be an ideal laser for darker skin types and it works great for dark coarse hair. For the best options book an appointment with a laser technician for more advice. Hope this help! 
Best wishes. Dr.K.
