Question
Hello,
I'm just starting my research on LHR and wanted to get a better understanding of which laser worked best on my skin - I'm a brunette, green eyes and fair skin. Does that mean any laser will work the same on my skin even if it has been advertised for tanned people, etc.
Also, what other questions should I be asking when I go in for an initial consultation? I'm asking for the type of laser used, their creditials and experience, incidence of scarring and other problems, and if an MD will be overseeing my procedure.
Finally, can you recommend several certified practitioners in the Chicago area?
Thanks

Check out In the archives there is an article about what questions to ask during a consultation.
I believe one of the moderators on the board is a physician in Chicago. There's also a referral section.
