Internal Result Factors Familiarize yourself with internal factors that may affect your laser hair removal results. Read about skin and hair types, and how each of them can impact laser hair removal outcome.
Internal Result Factors
The main factors in the result of you laser hair removal route are your skin type and the color of hair you want to be treated. Additional options like hair growth cycle, sun exposure, and herpes infection have to be considered as well. You may want to weigh all of these factors to decide if laser hair removal is right for you and your wallet.

Skin type affects the result of your laser hair removal procedure as different skin tones will have different results.

Light skin - There are shifting degrees of light skin. For instance, if you leave two people with light skin in the sun, one may come back with a great tan at the same time as the other one comes back with only a very bad burn. On the other hand, regardless of what type of light skin you have, you are the best candidate for any form of laser hair removal. You will obtain the best results of any other skin type and will also need less treatment.

Medium skin – Patients with this type of skin will see better results based on what color the hair to be treated is. Still, even the best medium skinned candidates are in a great risk of their results being less favorable and needing more treatments than a light skinned candidate.

Dark skin – Candidates with dark skin will be the most likely have a bad result and need far more treatments than either of the other two skin types. What is more, the darker the person is the less advantageous their results will be.

Hair color is the second factor that aids to find out the results of you laser hair removal procedure.

Dark hair - Dark hair, for example black or dark brown, is the easiest to treat for the reason that it contains the most pigmentation which allows the laser light to be absorbed to a greater extent. In addition, dark hair tends to be coarser which will lead to a better result.

Medium hair – For the most part, this is light or medium brown hair. This hair type is easier to treat than lighter hair colors, but may have need of more procedures than candidates with very dark brown or black hair. Furthermore, not all medium hair is also coarse, some can be very fine and thin, and so it goes without saying that those with coarse medium hair will get better and quicker results than those with fine medium hair.

Light hair - There are lots of changeable degrees of light hair. On the whole, light hair is the most difficult to treat and will require more time, and money. Dark or medium blonde hair are the easiest to treat, while light blonde and red hair both are the hardest to treat. This is because they contain phemelianin pigment which makes them less able to absorb the laser light.

White or grey hair - It is almost impossible to treat people with grey or white hair. Such hair contains no pigmentation and therefore can not absorb the laser light enough to heat up the hair follicle.

Hair Cycle
The third factor that impacts the outcome of you laser hair removal procedure is hair growth. Your hair grows in cycles; on the other hand, not all of your hair is on the similar cycle. Laser treatments are prepared to assault hair that is in the active growth, or anagen, stage of its cycle. For that reason, you will almost always need more than one procedure to entirely treat one area, despite how big or small it may be. The more procedures you have the better your outcome will be each time.
