Hair laser for moustache area?

Question

I have blond moustache and the laser doesn't really work on it . Is it better to shave the area to have darker hair roots ? Or is there any other way to remove it . Thank you

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, the laser won't work on your light facial hair because there is very little melanin for the laser to target. Also, shaving your hair isn't going to make it grow back darker, so laser hair removal isn't going to be very effective, even if you do shave this area. I would say your best bet is waxing or electrolysis. Just make sure you go to a professional if you're interested in electrolysis. Hope this helps you!

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair.  If the hair is white, blonde or silver it will not work. Your only option for permanent removal is electrolysis.
