Laser hair removal for fair skinned Indian?
I'm a British Indian guy with unsightly hair on face on the upper cheeks. I have fair skin for an Indian as I live in England so sun exposure is minimal!
I have been using factor 50 sun cream on sunny days too. I am 18 and have had hair on my upper cheeks, above where I shave for a while. I have tried waxing which has made it worse and some bits are thick and coarse now. What type of laser would be best and how do I avoid pigmentation/scars?
