Laser hair reduction is recommended for clients with?

Laser hair reduction is most effective for clients with coarse, dark hair. This effectiveness is primarily due to the contrast between the pigment in the hair and the surrounding skin. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle, and the higher levels of melanin found in coarse, dark hair allow for better absorption of the laser energy. This leads to a more efficient and effective treatment, as the laser can precisely target the hair follicle without significantly affecting the surrounding skin.

In addition, the coarser texture of the hair ensures that the laser energy penetrates more effectively, resulting in improved hair reduction outcomes. The wavelength of light used in laser treatments is specifically designed to target darker pigments, making this hair type ideal for laser procedures.

In contrast, fine or lightly pigmented hair—such as blond or red hair—lacks the necessary melanin concentration for optimal treatment efficacy. This lower pigment density makes it more challenging for the laser to effectively penetrate and disable the hair follicle, leading to less favorable results in hair reduction.
