Thanks for the query.
Laser removal is a good option and is relatively painless. You must understand it requires multiple sessions, may be 2 or more to achieve a desired result. Each session can be performed at gap of 1-2 months depending on rate of clearance. Other options like RF and surgical excision also are possible .
