Best type of laser for my skin tone

[kathir]

My skin type is fair skinned (Type II) with mostly dark hair on my chest and abs. I have already had 5 treatments with a center using the Soprano XL laser. I have been satisfied with the results. When I returned for my 6th treatment, I found they are no longer in business.

I found another laser center that uses 2 types of lasers, the Soprano and another called Cutera (Nd:Yag). The technician took a look at me at my consultation and suggested using the Cutera, not the Soprano, as she stated that my hair was now very fine and Soprano would not work well on me.

I came home and did independent research and found the Cutera is best used for darker skin types with coarse hair, which I am not; and the Soprano would be better for me again.

Please advise as since she is a technician, she should know (I would think), but research contradicts her.

If your hair is fine now, no laser or IPL will work. Can you post some pictures for us so we can judge if it's worth paying any money at this point? Everywhere you go, they will likely try to sell you treatments to make money even if the chances of it working are low or non-existent.

If you do decide that it's coarse enough for laser, an alexandrite laser like GentleLASE would be absolute best for your skin type.
