WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE HAIRMAX LASERBAND?
The LaserBand was studied in light to brown skin tones (Types 1,2,3,4) as described in the Fitzpatrick scale below.
This does not mean it will not work on the darkest skin tones. Due to limitations of digital photography and hair
counting software we were unable to test the darkest skin tones.
