Asked By:KirstyUK in united kingdom

I have a metal plate and screws in my ankle after breaking it a few years ago. Can I still get laser hair removal of some sort on my leg? None of the beauty therapists I ask know, so they won't do it do be safe. I was wondering if it might be ok though, since the laser works by being attracted to the dark color of the hair.
