Is nd yag laser hair removal effective with blond hair? If not is there any other type suitable for blonds?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Lasers work by detecting contrast in the pigment between your skin and hair color. Best results are achieved with lighter skinned individuals with darker, more coarse hair.

John Tanqueray, MBBCh · Answer

Ng:YAG has the advantage that it can be used in all skin types, but like all lasers for hair removal will only work if there is some melanin (ie brown pigment) in the hair.For this reason Nd:YAG won't work in blond hair, and I think you'll find that whatever laser wavelength is used you won't find one that will be effective.
