ASK DR. STEYN
Dear Dr. Steyn,
I have a combination of light brown and blonde hair on my legs and bikini area. Do you think laser hair removal will work for me?
Thanks, Kelly
Dear Kelly, thank you for your email.
The ideal candidate for IPL hair removal, the device we use here at Brockville, is someone with darker hair. This doesn’t mean, however, that slightly lighter hairs such as yours won’t see results.
Keep in mind that your hair does have to have some pigment. Otherwise the IPL energy will not be able to locate the hair follicle. This means that any blonde (or gray) hairs will most likely not be affected.
