A member asked:

Laser hair removal on face - should i do it? what are the risks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Are you male or female? There is no such thing as laser hair removal - to be precise, it is better known as laser hair reduction. Works well. People of color have to be extremely careful as the lasers pick up the differences between skin color and hair color. The greater the difference, the better it works.
