I have done two types of Laser Hair removal which are epi-light and ND-YAG. So first of all I want to talk about epi-light. Epi-light can be used for more than hair removal. Other than hair removal it is used for acne treatment. It is also said to help diminish dark spots. I personally did not like this treatment. First off the place I got it done at was very expensive for five treatments it was around $800.00. Secondly after it was done I would still see hairs even after a couple of days passed. It is quick, does not hurt, did help diminish dark spots but did not work for me (even though they would use two different filters). I did this treatment for five years and still did not have results. I did retouches of the laser almost every two months for $133. After getting fed up I saw a place in my local mall advertising laser hair removal. This establishment used another kind of laser. It uses ND-Yag. This one has a more manageable price ($162.00 for five treatments). I have just had two treatments but if I were to need a retouch it is just $33.00. It is quick and does not hurt alot (they give a prescription numbing pain for people who belive it will hurt alot). One thing I really like is that after the treatment is done I see few hairs (these fall out after a couple of days). (Sidenote: Both of these lasers do not work on white hair. The way a laser works is that it searches for the black pigmentation of the hair for people with white hair electrolysis is recommended {My aunt says this really hurts}).
Epilight
Pros:
- Help Removes Dark Spots
- You do not need to shave
- Quick (Depends on the area)
- Does not leave treated area rough
Cons:
- Expensive
- Does not work for people with dark skin color
- Does not work for people with white hair
- Some times the hairs needs to be trimmed
- Did not work for me (Even after five years)
Nd-Yag
Pros:
- Removes Hair
- Works for people with dark skin
- Inexpensive (at least where I live and in comparison to epilight)
- Quick (depends on the area)
- Does not hurt
- Retouches are inexpensive (At least where I live and in comparison to epilight)
- Up to now it is the most powerful laser in the market right now (According to them)
Cons:
- You have to shave the area
- Leaves area a little rough (you need to exfoliate and moisture a lot)
In my case it has caused a little acne (It usually subsides after a couple of days)- Does not work on white hair
This it my personal experience. This does not mean this is exactly what will happen to you. For more information talk to a doctor or a place that does these treatments. Make sure you research any thing you decide to do to make sure you are making the best decision for you.
