What Is The Best Laser Hair Removal Option For Mixed-Race Skin With Black Hair? (photo)

March 22, 2013

I would like to get laser hair removal on my legs. I am half Asian, half black. I have medium brown skin (the colour of a paper bag). My leg hair is black and coarse. Each follicle shows up dark, and some are bumpy or ingrown. A pic of my leg is below. Also, this pic is pretty similar, although it depicts keratosis pilaris and I'm not sure if I have that. http://dermatlas.med.jhmi.edu/data/images/keratosis_pilaris_1_111119.jpg). What kind of laser would be best for me? Thanks!
