Unfortunately, the only way to remove white or grey hair is with electrolysis. Even then multiple treatments are likely to be required.
Permanent hair reduction can be done with laser light energy, or with electrolysis. Laser reacts with the pigments in the hair follicle, so the hair must have color to be sensitive to the laser. If hair is blond or grey, electrolysis is the best way to remove the hair permanently
The modern methods of hair removal using lasers all rely on pigment. If a hair is white, the laser cannot interact with the hair follicle and will have no effect. The most effective way to permanently remove white hair is with electrolysis treatment. This will permanently remove the hair regardless of color. Hope this was helpful.
Thank you for your question! The most effective way to permanently remove white, very blond or grey hairs remains electrolysis. As with laser hair reduction which uses the pigment in hair as its target, electrolysis requires multiple treatments for permanence.

Test spots are never a bad idea, although typically they are performed when there is a risk of problem which is in people with tanned skin, or darker skin tones. In this case, a test spot in a relatively hidden area is a good idea to avoid potential problems such as a laser burn.
I feel that laser hair removal is overpromised as being "permanent" and that "you will never have to shave, wax, tweeze, etc." ever again - it's just not possible. Single hairs may be permanently removed if the follicle is destroyed. That single follicle will not regrow....
My recommendations for treatment of burns in the skin are as follows: 1. Keep the areas clean by washing with a mild soap twice daily. 2. If there is blistering, relieve the pressure and hasten healing time by gently popping all blisters using a sterile needle or pin at the side of the...
