o Shaving the keratin hairs (also known as fuzz) before applying Alexandrite laser hair removal may not lead to permanent results for these hair types. Keratin hairs are usually fine, light in color and less infused with melanin, meaning they have less response to the laser session.
o The effectiveness of laser hair removal depends on the presence of melanin in the hair follicles. The Alexandrite laser is more
effective on hairs in active growth phase with sufficient melanin content, such as terminal hairs (irregular, impregnated hairs). When keratin hairs are present, they may not have enough melanin to effectively absorb the laser energy, which can reduce the long-term effect of the laser on these hairs.
o In some cases, shaving the keratin hairs before the laser session may temporarily reduce their visibility, but they may grow back over time, especially if they are not effectively affected by the laser.
o It is necessary to consult with professional beauticians or nurses to determine the most suitable method of hair removal based on hair type, skin type and goals session.
