Eight guides to the hair reduction decision, written for someone choosing between a single-wavelength instrument and broadband light.

Start with an assessment, not a decision
Arrange an assessment. It establishes the colour of your hair against your skin type, which instrument suits the area, and whether either option is suitable at all.
