I have tried Yag, Alex and Diode. As a middle eastern girl with thick hair, my best results have been with Diode!! It’s amazing. My hairs were literally falling out after the first session. It did in 4 sessions what 12 of the other two did for me!

I did my first session for my legs a few days ago. I had been afraid of the sting so i always put it off but am glad i did it. It didn't hurt at all and it was very quick. Can't remember the name of the machine but i felt like water was coming out with every pass. The technician was very good. I would recommend it to anyone who is hesitant about doing it. Am going back to do my lower back, my bottom, and inner thighs.

No IPL is best for level 1 to level 3 on the Fitzpatrick scale for skin color. Basically best for white folks. Hispanics and Arabs and those on the tan category may have some results but not great, requires more sessions. Level 5/6 Brown - African or dark skin South Asians forget it - it will burn you.

Is SHR the same with IPL?

@XinaLiu 2 ай бұрын

The treatment principle of IPL mainly contains two aspects: biostimulation effect and light pyrolysis effect. SHR works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents re-growth, while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue. A high repetition rate of short pulses are delivered deep into the dermis, achieving high average power and therapeutically effective heat build-up, with virtually no pain. The main application includes hair removal, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, pigment removal, acne removal and vascular removal.

Yellow is a pigment. Yellow too is melanin. I would argue darker pigment is not more melanin. It's just a darker skin tone layer. Great job. I think you mentioned it, home laser hair removal works to decrease hair density.

@kalinin._ 11 ай бұрын

No, when your body produces more melanin you get a dark shade like mine. Darker skinned people generally have more melanin because we are people where the sun is out the most. People with less melanin are from cold and cloudy areas of the world.

@latoyahogan8428 10 ай бұрын

It's not an argument it's factual. Look at it like this when you know the skin types 1-6 majority of people who are 1 or a 2 burn in the sun. A 5 or a 6 rarely burns. It's the darker melanin, the pervents that from happening. Yellow would be in the middle. It's a lighter color. The light is only attracted to darker hair. It will bypass the blondes, reds, greys, and yellow hair. Idea contrast would be light skin with dark hair hair.
