Thank you for your question. For gray or white hair, I would recommend electrolysis. Laser hair removal targets the melanin in your hair. There are no current options to darken gray hairs to improve laser hair removal I hope this helps.
Keratosis pilaris is a harmless but tough problem to treat. It is caused by a plug in the hair follicles which is why most treatments involve some kind of exfoliation- and with modest results. It is unlikely to improve with laser hair removal.
