I looked into it several years ago. But I was told it does not work on Red hair. I am a natural red head.
I was told it is something to do with the wavelength of the laser and pigment in the hair.
I have not checked again to see if that is still true.
I did have my brows threaded this summer. Wow what a great way to shape my brows, much better than waxing or tweezing.

To thill wish I had known about it not working on red hair I spent a fortune going about every 6 weeks .it is just as bad know as before, it is supposed to reduce the hairs but I never had that also they are very sharp on time or was it how many they remove. Just little hint you will be slightly pink when you come out I usually have little concealer put on.

OK, I survived. Here's the scoop. The hair has to be dark because the laser light follows the dark hair shaft down to the root and kills the root. I had my upper lip, chin, and neck done. The upper lip hurt a little, like a pin prick we've all done a million times. I didn't feel the chin or neck at all. Different hairs grow in different cycles so I'll be going back in 6 weeks. You have to have some stubble to have this done, and you can't have been in the sun for 2 weeks, or at least you have to be using sunscreen regularly. I'm going to have my legs done, too.
