Laser Hair Removal for Men - Reduction possible or complete Removal?

I am male considering LHR and need your help.





My arms are quite hairy indeed, to the point where I want to have something done. I understand from various reading that the laser that passes through skin to damage the hair follicles only affects hairs that are currently in their growth phase. Multiple sessions would be required in order to remove all hairs.





Now, as a man, I don't want COMPLETELY hairless arms... but I DO want there to be a significant reduction in comparison to how they are now. I figured that having less sessions would result in a 'symmetrical' reduction rather than complete removal. But I also figure that hairs are randomly in growth/dormant phases and by having fewer sessions so that not all hairs are removed, random patches of hairs will still be present....





So I guess that there is no way to properly REDUCE? It's either COMPLETE removal of an area or random patches of Hair / No Hair being left behind?





Your input would be most appreciated.

It's exactly that.......either all or nothing......because you never know what the outcome will be.





In my honest opinion, you shouldn't even bother. You should not be so lame and proud, just accept yourself as being the way you are.
Reply:A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles. The light emitted by the laser is absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth. .
Reply:I can understand how you feel. As a woman I've had problems with hair most of my life which is caused by PCOS. Recently I've tried a laser treatment called aculight %26amp; believe me it WORKS!!!





The laser only attacks the dark hairs %26amp; makes them come through much finer %26amp; lighter. You will need multiple treatments for it to be successful. I've had about six treatments altogether on my stomach and it's cost me £170, which I think is defiantly worth spending.

Reply:Laser hair removal is perfect for what you want to do. At any given moment only 33-60% of the hair follicles in your arm are active. Laser hair removal can only treat the active follicles so in essence, one treatment only thins the hair. My Brother in Law had this done with great success. His condition was the same as yours, now his hair is dramatically thinned but it is perfectly dispersed and he still looks manly.
