Hello,

I am currently undergoing treatment with coolglide. Was previously treated with the lightsheer diode with some success, but being a skin type IV to V, I would burn easily.

In any case, I am having my back done and have been able to tolerate 55J, spot size 10, and 25ms duration. I’ve tested at 60-65J and have been fine with that as well. I’m wanting to know if 60J, spot size 10, and 25ms duration is effective for treating semi-coarse, dense (but patchy) hair on my back for my skin type. I’m more concerned with the pulse duration than anything else.

With thanks,

S.

No pulse width or machine may be able to affect “semi-coarse” hair. Can you post a picture?

If you can handle those settings, you should have no problems using an alex or a diode at effective settings. It sounds like your old problem was mostly due to the person using it, not the machine.

The pulse is ok. The lower the better of course.
