is it possible to remove gray hair using laser ?!
Question:
Answers:
Embrace your gray hair. It is defining. Or, dye it. Don't try to remove it because after a while you will be bald! Laser just kills the root of the hair. It doesn't change your hair color. (If that was true, everyone would be doing it.)
Other Answers:
Yeah I bet. And you will be bald. But honestly, that doesn't sound right.
No. Laser light is attracted to dark pigment. The darker the hair the more successful laser treatments will be. Blondes have a tendency to not have very successful treatments due to the light hair. Gray hair is filled with air pockets instead of color pigment. (That is why it tends to be courser and sometimes a bit "glassy".

One disadvantage for laser hair removal is that not everyone is the perfect candidate for this type of treatment. Those with lighter skin and dark hair have a much higher chance of permanent hair removal than grey, red or blonde hair. In addition, those with dark skin or who are tanned are also not good candidates as the laser may cause damage to their skin due to high pigment levels. The reason being is that dark hair contains a pigment called eumelanin which effectively absorbs more laser energy and therefore results in more effective destruction of the hair follicle. Due to the higher effectiveness of the treatment towards dark haired fair skin patients, it leads to fewer treatment and is therefore less costly. Other the other hand, grey, red and blonde hair contain a pigment called pheomelanin that absorbs less laser energy reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. Therefore extra treatment is required for the same effect. So before you sign up for this treatment, make sure you know the principal of this treatment. If you are not an ideal candidate, be prepared for extra treatment charges.
