What Is The Most Effective Laser Hair Removal Machine?

(Carol)

I want to know which laser hair removal machine is the most effective. I don't want an at home machine, I just want to know which one is the best. There are so many different people advertising hair removal and all are using different machines so I just want some insight from people who have had laser hair removal. Thanks for the help!

Answer: Alexandrite types of lasers are best for light skin (some brands are GentleLASE, Apogee, etc). For darker skin (mediterranean and darker usually), ND:Yag laser is needed (Coolglide, Sciton, GentleYAG, etc). Some lasers like Soprano, Apogee Elite and GentleMax have both types in one machine.

There are a bunch of forums available where you can learn more about Laser Hair Removal before you start - I advise to do it. This site has useful information on the various machines www.hairlaserremoval.co.uk for example. It's very important to find a place that is looking out for your interests and not just their profits.

Also, make sure you understand that laser only works on COARSE hair (like bikini, underarms, etc type of hair). For fine hair, only electrolysis is permanent. Don't let sales people convince you otherwise.
