What Type of Laser Hair Removal Is The Best?
Most commonly used lasers for hair removal are diode, alexandrite and long pulse Nd:YAG.
Diode laser is good for both light and dark skin tone.

Alexandrite laser is the fastest of all these lasers and works best to remove both coarse and fine hair.
The only Alexandrite Laser machine which is safe for both light and dark skin tone is Motus Moveo AX, which is what we, at Dr Jane Clinic are using.
*IPL (Intense pulsed Light) is a broad spectrum light source, which is essentially not a laser and it is incomparable to lasers.
