Laser hair removal – is it possible to just reduce hair in some areas and not totally remove?
Question : Laser hair removal – is it possible to just reduce hair in some areas and not totally remove?
I would like to have hair removed in some parts and thin down or reduce in some others. Is the latter option possible?
I have light (semi light) skin and dark hair – as I am told laser works on this type.

Laser hair removal can absolutely reduce the hair in areas…in fact, people who are going for a completely smooth, hair-free result are told that it will take several sessions of laser treatment to reach that effect. So if all you’re going for is a reduction of hair, one or maybe two treatments should give you great results. Good luck!

Hello Jenny,
Yes, laser hair removal can reduce hair in areas as well as thin it out. To clear something up first, laser works best on coarse dark hair types. There are some cases where thin hair would see results as well.
In order to thin the hair out you wouldn’t do as many treatments as someone looking for total removal and you would also want to do your treatments much farther apart because this will allow time for most of the hairs to be treated at the same time. This is to ensure you are not ending up with patchy spots or different thickness of hairs scattered over the treated area. Also if you are treating a hormonal area, you may have to do a few more than non-hormonal areas. If you seek a professional center, your technician should know how to treat and thin your areas. I can’t stress this enough, make sure they are using a real laser, not an IPL, and that laser is specific for your skin type.
If you have anymore questions or concerns you can contact me via email, info@gentletouchlaser.com
I hope this helps!

If you are only looking to thin or reduce hair on your body, then laser hair removal is going to be perfect for you. Most people are under the false impression that laser hair removal can completely, and permanently remove the hair. In reality, for most people, some of the hair grows back, but at a much slower, and thinner rate.
If you only want to reduce the amount of hair you are going to be a lot happier with the results of the procedure. Dark hair is perfect of the procedure, luckily for you, and should require fewer treatments.
