A woman who claims she suffered multiple burns during laser leg hair removal has told the High Court how the therapist, when she was finished the treatment, told her she looked like a leopard.

Naomi Kumar (29) said after the treatment eight years ago, the burns blistered and turned to scabs over a period of weeks and “after that I really did look like a leopard.” She told Mr Justice Paul Coffey there were about 1,000 marks on her legs and that she had intense pain during and after the treatment at the Therapie Clinic, Molesworth Street, Dublin.
