Hair Removal Isn't Permanent
-
Laser hair removal doesn't guarantee permanent results. The word "permanent" is used to describe the absence of hair growth for approximately one year. This means one would require another treatment at some point in the future.
Hair Color
-
Hair color also plays a factor in the effectiveness of laser hair removal. Generally speaking, the practice is less effective on those with light hair because of the lack of melanin in their hair pigment. Dark hair is more suitable.

Hair Thickness
-
Hair thickness also plays a factor in effectiveness of laser hair removal. Coarse hairs are more easily removed by laser treatment. It is even recommended that fine hairs be treated by electrolysis as opposed to laser (Laser Hair Removal FAQ: http://www.hairremovalforum.com/faq.cfm#3).
Skin Color
-
Fair-skinned individuals have better results with laser hair removal because darker skin colors absorb the laser preventing the hair follicle from being reached reached. Laser hair removal could even damage darker skin colors.
The Specialist or Doctor
-
The experience of the specialist or doctor who is treating you can affect the how well laser hair removal works on you. His or her experience is what deems the decisions they make about you. For example, an experienced specialist or doctor knows exactly how many treatments you require, if you are a suitable candidate or the wavelength the laser should be for your particular body. If the wrong decisions are made, you could experience unsatisfying results.
No Guarantees
-
Laser hair removal never guarantees results. A specific genetic makeup or underlying factors may make laser hair removal ineffective for you. The treatment does not even guarantee that hair will not come back; instead, hair may become thinner and less dark after treatment. Even then, you may require followup treatments.
