Will dying blond body hair darker help with laser hair removal?

August 4, 2015
Asked By:mbolieu in Miami, FL

I know that laser hair removal works by the light and heat of the laser seeking out dark pigment of the hairs. I hear both that laser hair removal on blond hair is completely ineffective and adversely that there are newer lasers that actually work well on blond hairs. My question is that if I were to dye my little fine blond hairs on my body dark before getting laser removal, would this increase the effectiveness of the laser hair removal at all?
