Before receiving laser hair removal, youll have a consultation with a provider in order to determine whether or not the treatment is right for you. Although the laser settings can be adjusted for skin tone, some hair types are better suited for the procedure. Those who have blonde or red hair may not experience the same results as those with dark hair, because there is less of a skin-to-hair pigmentation contrast for the laser to pick up on. Laser treatments are generally not suitable for pregnant women.
