I Would Like to Thin my Body Hairs by Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures.  After each laser hair treatment, the hairs will become thinner and less noticeable.  This usually happens  in a uniform fashion, but there can be some occasional patchy areas.  The laser handpiece goes over the whole area, but that does not mean that all hairs respond the same.  The hairs grow in different phases and the laser affects the hairs in their active growth phase.  That being said, there is usually a great result with your combination of light skin and dark hair.

Laser hair removal reduces hairs in the growing phase. Hair at any given time can be in 3 different phases of growth, so it is difficult to control whether hair is thinned or completely reduced. Initially, the reduction can be uniform in appearance, but the hair reduction is normally patchy.

I would recommend you to let your hair grow out. You can try to speed up the process with different supplements and shampoos. To use laser to permanently eradicate that hair would take a long time, cost a lot of money, and would not yield perfect results. Just because of the area, I would suggest you to let it grow out and you will be happier with the outcome. Good luck!

Your skin type and hair color make you an  excellent candidate for laser hair removal, as this procedure is most effective on patients with light skin and dark hair. Furthermore, it is possible to thin the hair by using a modified treatment protocol, depending on whether your concern is the discomfort of ingrown hairs or aesthetics of excessive hair. It will take several sessions to see  results, as hair grows in a cycle (active, dormant, shedding), and the laser must treat the follicle in the hair’s active stage in order to disarm the follicle so the hair can’t grow back. Not all the hair on your back is in the same stage of growth, which is why several sessions are required. Furthermore, until treatment is started, there is no way to know how your hair will respond and how many sessions it will take to achieve your desired results.

 

 

 

 

 

Hair can often be thinned out with just one or two treatments. It is hard to know that the hair will be thinned uniformly, but in areas like the chest, back, neck and legs, the results are usually quite uniform. Areas of the face or scalp are often ot uniform. Consider this before receiving a laser treatment.

There is no setting to just thin out hair without creating patchiness. We won't know which hairs will respond, and which won't, so there is no way to create an overall thinning affect to a treated area.
