I had 6 sessions of laser hair removal last year, where I shaved the areas that were to be treated. I am due to have another course of 6, but the shaving made this worse in certain areas last time. I understand that the laser needs the pigment of the hair in order to work effectively, but my hair grows back so quickly (around a week after waxing), so this time round I would like to wax a week prior to my treatments instead of shave. Is this dangerous?
