What Wavelength of Laser or IPL Should Be Used?
What wavelength or setting of IPL or laser can I use to shrink my hair follicles? I don't want to remove my hair but just make it grow finer. If theoretically, most of the hair is in anagen?

Wavelength for thinning hair
The ideal wavelength for hair reduction is between 695nm-810nm. You can't "shrink" the follicles and cause them to grow in thinner, but by removing about 15-20% of the total hair in any given area per treatment, what grows back will appear thinner.
