March 30, 2010
Asked By:zuber in Dearborn, MI

I just started laser hair removal, but i am going on vacation in the summer and wanted to wax instead of shave because it lasts much longer. I was wondering if this is going to effect my laser hair treatment when i start it again 2 months after i return from my vacation.
