I'm wondering what peoples experience with this type of laser has been? I just did my first session for a 6 month package deal of $700.
Good results? Any problem with pigmentation after? Is that a good price?
BTW I have type 2 - 3ish skin with black hair.

I had great results with the Candela Gentle-Lase Alex laser. I have Type III skin, with somewhat dark brown to light brown facial hair. I'm following up with electro, but the laser removed around 80% of the hair. No hyper-pigmentation. $700 sounds good.

Hm, in theory, alexandrite lasers are made for darker skins. Since yours doesn't seem dark, I think it would be most effective to go with a diode laser... But it's probably not a big deal at all.
You certainly got a good price... Compared to my 2500+, anyway!
