Best laser hair removal treatment for light Indian skin?
I'm a north Indian female with a relatively fairer complexion and black coarse hair on the face, esp. on the chin and neck. Which is the most effective and safest laser hair removal treatment for me? It is said that Nd:YAG is suitable for dark skinned people like Indians, but I am not dark. My complexion is between fair to medium. Is it true that the hair grows back once the treatment ends?
