One of the great things about laser hair removal is that it’s safe and effective for almost anyone that wants it. It’s a great alternative to having to shave, wax, or pluck regularly, and many people report feeling better about their appearance and self-image once it’s complete.  While laser hair removal can be used on all types of hair and skin types, it’s most effective for those with thicker, darker hair and light skin. This is because the high contrast between skin color and hair color makes it easier for the hair to absorb the heat from the laser. In some cases, laser hair removal may not be a suitable option for you. This may be the case if you: - Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant. - Are taking certain medications, such as blood thinner or acne treatments. - Have genital herpes. - Are prone to cold sores. - Have raised scars. - Have or have had skin cancer.
