October 18, 2015
Asked By:anon37910

Hi, Can you please advise which laser hair removal is the most effective for pale light skin and dark hair. I have tried IPL with little results. I am not looking for something permanant and I am expecting to go for top up treatments. Preferably something not too uncomfortable so I can treat areas like the bikini Thank you!
