Depends on color: Laser seeks color, so those darker and coarse hairs provide better 'target' for effect of laser to remove the hairs. Light colored fine hair is more difficult to effectively remove. Will require a series of treatments, as the hairs are sensitive only when in growth cycle (not resting phase). This cycle is treated at intervals to get all of them in their growth phase.

Male or female?: LHR on the face can be very painful. dense dark hair will be painful. if you are a woman with light fuzz or just a few thicker hairs it will be more tolerable. might not want to get it done before a big event. also, you will need to limit your sun exposure and if you choose to do this u might be well advised to wait until fall or winter.
