Effectiveness

LightSheer Duet: Very effective (wavelenght 810)
Motus AX & Candela Pro: Very effective (wavelenght 755)
Safety
Mediostar Pro XL & LightSheer Duet: Safest machines as longer wavelengths (810 & 930) bypasses the skin targeting the hair root. Very safe & comfortable with all skin types,
Candela Pro & Motus AX: Shorter wavelengths (755) may be partially absorbed by the skin for darker patients. That may cause burns. Burns are extremely rare with the Mediostar Pro XL or LightSheer Duet, due to the longer wavelengths bypassing the skin, and if occurring they usually are mild and heal without scaring.
Speed & Comfort
Mediostar Pro XL is the fastest with no to minimal pain due to the largest spotsize, 360 degrees advanced cooling system and long wavelengths bypassing the melanin in the skin targeting the melanin in the hair root
This is followed by the LightSheer duet which also have a large spotsize. The Candela Gentlelase Pro has the smallest spotsize and shorter wavelength so it is a longer process and a less comfortable treatment.
