laser hair removal question 

i just had laser for the first time in 10 years and have doubts as to whether the operator was actually using a laser, or dishonestly calling IPL "laser." i'm inquiring about the hardware used

a question. if you've had laser in recent memory, did it fill the room with flashes of red light? because that's what i experienced this time. i wore protective glasses but could still see the flashes with my eyes closed.

anyway, wondering if red flashes can happen with laser, or just IPL?

@gatewave When I got laser on my face there was some flashes with my eyes closed from the laser pulse scattering through my skin. They also taped my eyelids shut. There was no visible flash when they were lasing my crotch.

iirc for me they used an alexandrite laser at 755nm

@starkatt interesting. this was on legs, and the flash easily filled the room no matter where i "looked."
