Is there a laser treatment that can get rid of the white hairs on the chin and neck?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

no lasers cannot attract hairs without pigmentation.  you can do electrolysis or vaniqa cream or both to help.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Paul L. Leong, MD, FACS · Answer

Unfortunately, laser hair removal does not work on white or blonde hair. Lasers target pigment and if there is no pigment to aim the laser at then the treatment will be highly ineffective and a complete waste of money. I hope this information is helpful!

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, laser hair removal cannot get rid of white/blonde hairs. With laser hair removal, the flashes of light that the laser produces are targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The best candidates are those that have dark hair and light skin because the laser is able to identify the dark pigment in the hair follicle. With white and blonde hair the laser isn't able to identify the white hair follicles because there is no pigment to target.
