Can Scalp Hair Be Permanently Removed Using Laser?

September 2, 2009
Asked By:subhash in UK

This is probably an unusual question but I have little hair left on my head and was wondering if a laser can be used to permanently to remove all remaining hair? I would like to get to a stage where daily shaving is not required and the usual "balding shadow" is not visible. My skin colour is brown (photo below). Thank you.
