The basic concept of laser hair removal is the color contrast between skin and hair. Since the laser targets the pigment in the hair, the sharper the contrast, the better. Therefore, the ideal candidates for laser hair removal are those with fair skin and dark hair. Although modern laser hair removal technology now makes it possible to treat tanned and darker skin. What about blonde hair? Can you get laser hair removal if you are blonde? Does laser hair removal work on blonde hair? Here’s what we’re going to answer today!
Laser hair removal for blondes – how does the laser work?
Unlike electrolysis, which has been around for more than a century, laser hair removal is a fairly new method of permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is very safe and less expensive than it may seem. The method uses a laser that produces a beam of light energy. This energy will direct the pigments in the hair to reach the hair follicle. When damaging the hair follicle, the energy actually cauterizes the blood vessels that supply the hair matrix.
Laser depilation requires two basic things to work. Number one is hair in the catagen phase of the hair growth cycle. Indeed, the catagen phase is the only time when the hair and follicle come together. The hair acts as a channel, bringing heat to the hair follicle. In the other two phases, the hair is separated from the follicle. Therefore, heat cannot reach the follicle. The other key component of the treatment is pigment. The laser targets pigments in the hair.
Why might laser not work on very light hair?
There’s a reason why a laser hair removal technician strongly advises clients to never bleach their hair before a session. Or just in general. Bleaching removes the dye from the hair. As mentioned earlier, the pigment in the hair attracts the light energy produced by the laser. If there is no pigment to target, laser hair removal will not work. There are many different shades of blond hair. While platinum blonde is very close to white, some blonde hair will be close to light brown. Laser hair removal works by targeting primarily melanin in the hair follicle. So the lighter the hair, the less pigment it contains. Laser hair removal may not always work in people with light hair, as there may not be enough melanin in the hair.
In addition, an important factor in the success of a laser hair removal treatment is the contrast between skin color and hair. Dark hair contains pigments. Light hair may not. Therefore, it may be more difficult for the laser to distinguish light-colored hair from surrounding tissue.
