Question
I want my hands to look better. This means eliminating the dark corse hair. My hair is strange, it changes color in the sun and my skin tans easily. I would say I have oily skin. The hair follicles are long, but they have become corse with age.
If my hair became thinner on my hands I think I would be bale to tolerate the hair on my hands. However, I'm not sure I trust laser surgery to do to this. Any advice.
Also, would it look strange to have hairy arms, but no hair on my hands? That's why i was thinking it would be best for it to thin out and lighten.
What kind of laser do you think I might need?

Answer
Well, one laser treatment alone wouldn't rid your hands of hair forever. Ppl go back 5-8 times to become 100% hair-free. Everytime you have a laser treatment less hair grows back, and the hair that DOES is generally finer. If you consider these facts, then maybe 1 laser session (or 2 or 3) would be what you need, since what you want is reduction, not complete 100% removal. After each treatment you can wait for re-growth and decide whether or not you want another treatment.
Just my .02

Answer
How much do you think it should cost for this treatment? I am liking your .02.
What type of laser would you suggest for corse hair?
If my skin is tan right now do i need to wait until it is pale?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but this forum is great.

Answer
Coarse hair is a laser's paradise. The finer hairs require smaller spot sizes to zero in on them, but thick, dark coarse hairs absorb a laser's light like a dream. The combo of light skin and dark, coarse hair produces the best results.
Is your skin naturally kind of dark? In the dead of winter or you pale?
If you're fair-skinned, find an alexandrite or a diode laser. These are VERY common lasers, you'll have no problems finding a clinic or office that uses them. If you have dark skin, look for an ND:Yag laser. If you're not sure, a consultation at a clinic will clear it all up for you. The darker your skin tone (whether naturally or tanned by the sun), the more your SKIN will absorb the laser's light, as well as the hair. If your skin absorbs the light as well, it could burn/blister, which ain't pretty. That's why your skin needs to be as light as possible.
I don't know how much it would cost. Your hands are a small area. Maybe $50 per hand? Maybe $75 a hand? I would say they won't do it for less than $50 a hand. I'm just saying this because the tops of your hands are sorta the same size as underarms and underarms aren't GENERALLY done for less than $50 per underarm.

Answer
be aware that laser is not precise, so results may be patchy if hair doesn't come back at all. with electrolsys, it's easier to thin out hair since you can target specific hairs, with laser, you just won't know until after.

Answer
First, my Underarms are $49 for both (each treatment) with LHR. However, I would suggest electrolysis for the hands. It would be faster and handle a relatively small area best. This would also be the best approach to "thinning" your hair and/or providing a gradual decrease towards your lower arms. I sure hope your hands do not look like my pits . If so, I understand your need to clean 'em up.
