Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal is very safe, including people with keloids, in experienced hands. We prefer the term "long term hair reduction" as it is hard to permanently remove all hairs. With laser hair removal we see all 3 of (1) permanent hair destruction (2) "stunning" of hair for months/years with eventual regrowth and (3) miniturization of hairs, into peach fuzz, that may eventually change back.
