Hello, My names's yood a 26y male with white caucsian skin. I would like to know if there is a kind of permanent hair removal procedure like ( IPL or laser hair removal) that can eliminate skin hue by removing skin colour permanently ? If so, Does it happen to work via hair follicle destruction to reduce melanocytes amount or via another mechanism of action ...?
