Does laser treatment get rid of strawberry skin? (Photo)

Seleeena15Jun 25, 2022
I've has these red dots/spots on my legs and arms idk why i have them really, my parents don't have such skin concerns so i doubt its genetic, i've seen people who got rid of their strawberry legs through laser hair removal which made a drastic change visibly. I want to get it aswell but i just dont know for sure if it will work on or not, will it make my hair grow back either way? Being south asian i have hair on my whole body and im really insecure about it.
