Are At-home Laser Hair Removal Systems Safe to Use on the Buttocks Area?

I am a white british female with medium coloured skin and dark brown hair, unfortunetly i have some fine dark hairs on my buttocks, i am extremely embarressed and this is effecting my life, i currently use a hair removal cream on the area, which i think may have made it worse as i may have removed fine hairs with the cream and they have grown back slighty darker and more noticable. I am so desperate i would consider going to a salon if it is a more effective method than a home laser removal machine.

At home laser systems for hair removal

the at home systems can work well for your skin type, but there always is a risk of hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, the systems at home have slightly lower energies and can, rarely, induce a paradoxical stimulation of hair growth, yes, that's right! In fact, that's how the at home laser hair stimulators evolved for scalp hair loss.
