Does Laser Hair Removal Work For All Hair?

The short answer to this is no, it doesn’t work for all hair. In fact, laser hair removal works best when the hair that needs to be removed is dark and coarse, and the skin underneath is lighter in shade than the color of the hair. This is because the lasers used in laser hair removal are attracted to pigment. When the hair is dark and coarse, it absorbs the lasers better, causing it to heat up and for the hair follicle to disable. For this reason, laser hair removal does not work on fine, thin hair such as vellus hair or, as it is also known, “baby” hair.

Hair Growth Phases

Something else that is important to know when considering laser hair removal are the growth phases of your body hair. Your hair cycles between three phases during growth – anagen, catagen, and telogen. Laser hair removal only works on hairs that are in the anagen, or active, phase. Not all of your hair grows in at the same time, so your hair can be in different phases at any given time. This is why laser hair removal requires multiple treatments to completely remove body hair in any given area. We treat multiple times, with appointments spaced 8-12 weeks apart, to make sure we get each hair while it is in its anagen stage.
