Laser permanently removes the hair? or is there any chance of reoccurrence? and laser hair removal for people with keloid tendency is safe or not?

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.

See below: When properly spaced treatments are used with an effective laser, the hair growth should be slowed considerably or completely arrested. Not all lasers can be safely used in patients of all skin types.
