I'm spending quite a bit on laser hair removal. do doctors think that this is worth it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It works: Laser hair removal works best on light skin with dark hair. It may take 6-10 treatments 6-8 weeks apart to get 70% reduction of hair growth. Other skin types and hair colors don't work as well. And gray or blond hair may not at all respond.
