Question
Hi!!
I absolutely need an advice! I am so confused! I decided for laser hair removal for my full legs (I have some vascular problem and waxing has become a nightmare...).
I am an Italian woman; I think my skin is type III (I always burn but then I tan); in my lower legs my hair are dark-brown and coarse, in my upper legs they are brown but much more finer (and if I take some sun for few days they become quite blond).
I live in Dublin (Ireland) and I have found these types of lasers:
Lightsheer
Gentlelase
Aurora (IPL)
Lumenis Quantum (IPL?)
Epilight (IPL)
Which one do you think would be preferable for me?
Thank you very much for helping me!!!

Answer
LightSheer or GentleLASE would work best. Choose on the best practitioner between these. Blond hairs won't be affected, so make sure your legs are as white as possible and hair is as dark as possible before you start treatments. Also, just fyi, laser works a lot better on dark coarse hair because there is more dark pigment in coarse hair. So those would be easiest to remove. I would stay away from IPLs.

Thank you very much Blink!!!
I will book a consultation with the 2 clinics that have Lightsheer and Gentlelase... I hope to be able to understand which is the best.... (Blink, I saw your "question form"... thanks!!!!)
Sure I will need some other advice....

Hi Italian Girl
I am in Dublin Ireland too - let me know how you get on. I'm planning to get my face and whole legs, bikini line etc done, but am still researching.
Good luck - R
