Best Candidate for Laser Hair Removal

The best candidate for laser hair removal is a man or a woman, 18 years of age or older, and in relatively good health. The process works best if you have a distinct contrast in your hair and skin color (i.e., dark hair with fair skin). This combination increases your chances of eliminating all unwanted hair in fewer sessions.

The reason for this is that laser hair removal works best when the candidate has more melanin in the hair. Melanin is the pigmentation that causes skin and hair to appear darker. Therefore, a person with blond, red, or gray hair would not be the best candidate for laser hair removal. Someone with light to fair skin and dark, coarse hair can find much more success with this process.

Determine if You Are the Best Candidate for Laser Hair Removal

If you are considering laser hair removal, you have to determine your eligibility. Only a physician can truly make this discernment, but there are some questions you can ask of yourself to make sure you are ready for this procedure. These questions include "Am I committed to going to several sessions to remove unwanted hair?" and "Do I want this hair permanently removed?" If you can answer yes to these two questions, then you should make an appointment for a consultation.
