How to Remove Jaw Line Hair for Indian Skin Type?

Basically, I have been treated for about 15 treatments to my Jawline. I KNOW there is drastic improvements from day one until now. But the hair is not completely gone, it just gets finer. Should I keep going? I am of Indian heritage. Also, I find that I get some scabbing from these treatments that seem to go away within a week or so. How long should one continue laser hair removal? I am losing hope in this procedure. Any advise you can offer would be appreciative. Thanks.
