Thanks for your question.  The hair that is growing is your normal color.  Fortunately, since it is dark it will respond to Laser Hair Removal.  You should be able to get rid of 90+% of the dark hair that is growing with a series of treatments.  Look for a medically supervised provider that has good reviews in your area.  Best of luck.

I would suggest laser hair removal. A good candidate is dark hair with lighter skin. Lasers will not work on gray or blonde hair because there is no pigmentation. Usually 5 to 6 treatments are required for long lasting results. Also, it depends on the laser that is being used. The hair will grow back thinner and  slower with each session. Shaving only is recommended between treatments. Any waxing, plucking or chemicals is not recommended because you do not want to take the hair out of the follicle.

Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds to me like you are a great candidate for laser hair removal.  
Laser hair removal uses the power of a concentrated laser beam that passes through the skin, targeting hair follicles. The pigment within the hair follicle absorbs the light, which causes damage to those follicles. This process slows hair growth, and often prevents hair from growing back in the treated areas.  After your first treatment, you can expect a noticeable reduction in the amount of hair. You will likely need six to nine treatments before you experience permanent results. 
Best of luck, P. Alexander Ataii MD.
