Not many options for laser hair removal, blonde hair

Michael Kulick, MD answers: Laser hair removal for blonde hair and fair skin?

I have fair skin and an abundance of very fine blonde body hair. Are there any Laser treatments appropriate for this skin/hair type?

As you may know by now, the best situation for hair removal is with dark hair and light skin.  There are papers that describe improvements in your situation but not all offices have been able to reproduce these results.  

If the hair can grow long enough for you to wax, then you may be able to see some improvement with laser treatments.  However, not many patients will let their hair grow long enough for this technique.
