Can I have a laser whitening treatment after having laser hair removal on my vagina?

August 25, 2018
Asked By:sue v. in islington

I have noticed that my labia is much darker than it used to be and I'm considering to have a laser whitening treatment but I also would like to have my pubic hair remove first.
