Hair removal for blonde/red hair

[Ric.ror]

I dont care how much it costs I want to get rid of unwanted hair forever - my legs are thick and course - bit like a goat really - and, although all the other hair is blond and downy it is very think and I want rid for ever. Will laser treatment treat it?

What a pretty picture I paint of myself

Yes but it's expensive and you have to have a few goes at it for it to be permanent.

I dont care how much it costs - it just seems certain treatment don't work on Blonde hair - which ones do

i have a problem with excess hair and i am strawberry blonde. i went to a private clinic where they said they would definately do laser for £500. Anyway i decided to go to my GP and see if i could get it on the NHS. They reffered me to see a dermatology consultant and he said that there was no way that laser would get rid of the hair as it is too light in colour. Basically the clinic was lying and was going to screw me out of £500. He mentioned electrolysis so he is reffering me for that.

Just seen your answer - thanks for that
I would never have thought of mentioning it to the doc but I will next time I go - along with where to get my eyes lasered

Electrolysis is the only really effective way of dealing with excess hair growth at the moment, but you can only have small areas done at a time as it is a slow and painstaking process. If you can't get it done on the NHS and as it is for purely cosmetic reasons; I personally don't feel you should in the current climate, you should be able to find plenty of places to get it done privately

yuk, hirsute women are a turn off
