Thank you for your question.The hair has to have pigment in order for it to attract the laser. Blonde, white/grey and red hair do not work for laser hair removal due to lack of pigment. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete...

What's the best laser for Fitzpatrick skin type II? Do I need to shave the area or grow out the area to be treated?
