I have black skin and very dark hairs ('strawberry legs'). I exfoliate almost everyday, which I can definitely say helps to in terms of making the hairs softer and keeping the pores clean. However, this is still a big problem in my life. The pores are still dark and, coupled with the little scars I on my legs, it is often embarrassing for me to wear shorts. I am wondering, will laser hair removal correct this? And, will the treatment have a negative effect on pre-existing scars?
