I have been having Laser for the past 3 months. I go once a month and
it has helped tremendously. They tell me that it works best with fair
skin and dark coarse hair. Mine is blond with a red tint and I have
somewhat of a tan and it works great for me. My doctor is suprised how
much difference I have after only 3 sessions. It is expensive but I
would give it a shot. Beats the heck out of shaving everyday!
Good luck....I know how embarrassing and frustrating it can be!
