Laser hair removal works by utilizing an intense beam of light to destroy the hair follicle. In general, the darker and thicker the hair, the better the results. Hair removal is not effective for light colored hair such as white, blonde, gray, or red hair. Most people will require 6 treatments to get an approximate reduction of 70% to 90%. Also while it is often touted as being permanent, remember that some hair can grow back. It tends to come in thinner and lighter and may not be amenable to further hair removal treatments. Also medications and hormonal changes or conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome can make that likelihood more common.
Laser hair removal should be performed by a medical provider experienced in the utilization of different types of lasers as well as someone who understands different skin types. It is important to ask how many treatments your hair removal provider has performed as well as the experience with different skin types and lasers. A laser that is used for fairer skin may not be effective for all skin types.
