Laser Hair Removal for Scalp Hair?
Realizing that a greater percentage of scalp hair is anagen in comparison to body hair, are fewer treatment sessions required to remove dark scalp hair on persons with light skin tone? How many Laser hair removal treatments are needed to remove scalp hair?

Laser hair removal of scalp hair
You are absolutely correct. Since most hair on the scalp is in anagen or growth phase, removal of scalp hair is much easier. That is especially true if the hair is dark and the scalp is light. It may even be as few as two treatments. However, I would do that area with extreme caution since it is likely to be permanent there and if you ever decide to grow hair there again, you will not be able to do that. I hope this information helps.

Reducing scalp hair with laser
We have used laser hair removal to permanently remove hair from men who get hair bumps from shaving their heads. If hair does grow back it is a miniature hair follicle, the kind that would not form hair bumps.
Be sure thats what you want because this hair will NOT usually grow back. Treatment is done at 3 to 4 week intervals for at least 6 sessions.
