Laser hair removal is the process of damaging the hair follicle at its base so hair no longer grows. Even though lasers have been around for a long time, the newest technology allows it's use to removal hair. These newer lasers use a long pulsed light which is calibrated to exactly match the laser light and duration of the pulse to the hair follicle. Utilizing the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing the correct laser type will be used for maximum results.
A technician trained and certified in laser procedures or a doctor will perform you treatments. They use a hand-held device which is passed over the area for hair removal. The pulsed laser light will target the melanin in the hair follicle and destroy it with its heat. Only hair in the growth cycle will be destroyed even thought the other hairs are effected. You may need multiple treatment session to get all the hair follicles as all your hair grows at different time intervals.

The best way to answer this is to have a consultation with a hair removal medspa. They will interview you and give you a Fitzpatrick Skin Typing questionnaire. Once this is complete the technician or doctor will be able to give you a more definitive answer. Your skin type will fall into 1 of 6 categories. All 6 can be treated but some skin and hair types are more receptive to the treatments.
Lighter skin with dark coarse hair are the best candidates and have better results. The Alexxandrite and Diode laser are better suited to lighter skinned patients. The Nd:YAG laser, which is a longer pulsed laser, is best suited for darker skinned patients. This works better because the skin will not absorb as much of the light energy (heat). More of that energy will be directed at the dark pigment (melanin) of the hair follicle, thus destroying the growing hair.
