I had my fourth full body laser session two weeks ago, and I'm planning on going to a Turkish bath where they scrub and lather the skin with a very hard loaf to exfoliate all dead skin and dirt (actually it kinda hurts), my question: is this okay? will it affect my laser results because I know I can't wax so I thought maybe this has the same effect am I right?
