Dr. Robert Alexander answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Laser: Use of laser to destroy growing hair follicles is usually best. Works best on darker hairs due to light seeking color, but requires a series of treatments in order to hit hair in growth phase (some are always in resting phase, some in active phase). Interval treatments are needed.
