Hi there,

I am trying to assist my girlfriend who runs a salon in Poland. From what I have read, and knowing the demographics of Poland pretty well, it would seem the Diode is the way to go (not many dark complexions in Poland. Three questions: 1) Is there any substantive difference in diode machines quality beyond the head size and millisecond rate? (She has used Lightsheer and is familiar with it). 2) Most importantly, as the used laser market is much much larger here, is there any easy way to establish the quality of used cosmetic laser dealers. Aside from investigating each individual firm? 3) Is there any particular issues beyond head size, shots “used” machine “strength” that I should consider? Thanks in advance. Tim Fargo
