Question
Hi, I have Asian (Chinese) skin with black hair. Just wondering if I'm a good candidate for laser hair removal. And if so, what type of laser is good on my skin type?
Does anyone know of any good clinics in the GTA area?
Appreciate any input!

Answer
Look up the Fitzpatrick chart to approximately determine your skin type. For types I-IV, find an alexandrite or diode laser, if you're darker than a type IV, find a Yag laser. Also, Asian skins react differently with diodes and alex, somake sure to have them do a spot test before committing to a treatment to make sure your skin can handle it fine.
