Gray and White Hair

I was told I can't have laser hair removal. Why is that?

Lasers are designed to target the melanin in the hair shaft. Even with advances in technology, they cannot see gray, white, red, or blonde hair.

Can I have electrolysis instead?

Absolutely! Electrolysis is effective on all hair colors and skin types. Gray or white hair is no problem at all.

What is with all the gray hair popping up on my face?

As we age and our hormones fluctuate, it is normal for hair to suddenly appear on a woman's face. Both men and women may experience random hairs turning gray.

It seems like all I see in the mirror is gray hair in places I don't want it!

Gray hair tends to be thicker in diameter, which is why it's so obvious to you when you look at yourself. The good news is that we can successfully treat it and you can stop avoiding mirrors!

I'm getting gray and/or white hair in random areas. 

Gray or white hairs can appear all over the body. Electrolysis is effective on them wherever they are found.
