I started receiving laser treatments at a salon a few years ago. They gave me the Gentleyag but said I am on the light side for that one. Yesterday I went to really well-known derma in NYC (who was insanely expensive) and received another treatment. She gave me the GentleLase. Today I have a burn that is scabbing up a little bit. I don’t know about settings or anything since she really did not describe any of that to me, which I find upsetting considering how much she charges. Does this likely mean that the GentleYag is a better match for my skin type than the GentleLase? It seems like my skintype falls somewhere in between, since I have dark skin for a white person, but not dark enough for the Gentleyag.
BTW I am of Mediterranean decent. My skin is sort of olive toned. I tan easily but sometimes burn (only as an adult. I never had sunburn until age 18, but now my skin has become rather sensitive to the sun). Hair is very dark brown.
