Laser hair removal is big business and people who sell this therapy make many false promises. Studies indicate that the best lasers for hair removal are the alexandrite and the diode laser. These lasers only work in 50% of people with light skin. Lasers which are useless or barely work for hair removal include the intense pulsed light, ND:YAG or ruby laser. Irrespective of which laser you are treated with, laser hair removal only lasts 3-6 months. There is no laser that can remove hair permanently- that is only in the imagination of the laser manufacturers. Side effects like pain, skin reddening, burnt hair, scarring, permanent skin discoloration are commonly reported with all lasers.
