July 11, 2012

About me: 17, light indian skin, can tan easily, dark black hair. (laser on face) - laser practicioner #1: rec. DIODE: said my skin is not too dark; really experienced one (with 10+ yrs and her mom has been doing the same thing).She said that my hair would get really less after 6 treats (no package). -#2:rec. YAG saying I have really dark skin. And over there I also had to buy a package of 6 and after that I will still have hair but very weak. I want one that will remove hair more permanently.
