Does laser hair removal get rid of strawberry legs? (Photos)

rose098May 26, 2018
I am a women of color would laser hair removal work for me? And will it completely help remove large dark pores on my legs? I also have scars will it help that too? How many sessions do you usually have to do to see results. And also are the results permanent? How much does it usually cost all together for full legs? And I’m thinking about getting it done on my bikini area will it help lighten it?
