Asked By:Renee0514 in Calabasas, CA

I want to get laser hair removal. I’ve heard that IPL (Venus versa) don’t work that well yet.... thoughts? The Venus velocity is a diode which Is more direct laser. Should I do that? The med sap has a deal going on and it’s pushing me to go IPL (they don’t hv diode) but will it be a waste of time? Im fair to med skin with darker brown hair.
