- HOW CAN I GET RID OF ACNE...
May 1, 2018
I have just had my second session of laser hair removal and have broken out in acne. The laser used is a combination of nd:yag and alexandrite. Seems to be spots with white head and are all down the side of my face (sideburns) and chin. I have always had sensitive skin and I am scared these spots will leave behind marks as any spot I get always does. I want these gone asap. HELP! Ps. I will no longer be continuing with the laser
