Blond, brunet, auburn, grey, pitch black? Your hair color has a lot to do with how effective laser hair removal is. In this video, dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas explains why.
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to remove unwanted dark hair on all skin type. The laser works by giving energy that's absorbed by melalin in the hair follicle. So, that's why it's really most effective to remove dark thick hairs and is really not that effective to remove blonde, red or grey hairs.
