Thank you for all your replies. Ana I too was under the impression that laser treatment only worked on dark hair. When I went on the internet the other day one company is now advertising that exclusive to them they can treat grey or white hair. That is why I thought I would ask what experience other members had of laser treatment.

Oh yes and about the original post - I also hate having 'whiskers' and I just religiously check on them every morning before I leave for work, but every now and again I look in the mirror at work and see one I've missed! They're a curse.

When I enquired they were very reluctant to commit to telling me how many treatments would eliminate completely..they talked about hairs being in different stages of growth and also said for best results to shave for two weeks before 1st treatment hmm

I found two white hairs on my face yesterday sad. Got the tweezers out straight away. There are probably more but at least my eyesight is getting so bad I can't see them. Must admit it made me feel a bit miserable. Especially as the hair everywhere else is disappearing. Every time I wash my hair there's less to wash than the last time....

I know traditional laser treatment only works with dark hairs - I'd give it a go but my upper lip hairs are so fair it wouldn't work. I use one of those electronic tweezer thingies, painful but works well.

I think I would consider a laser treatment that was guaranteed to work on fair hairs just so I wouldn't have to bother about it ever again - but how many treatments would it take to eliminate them completely? confused

I have bristles that I would like to laser but tbh the cost is more than I am prepared to pay. I have a course of electrolysis every so often and it keeps me smoother for a while!

I find I have hair on my upperlip and chin and thought about laser treatment. I am a redhead and still have a lot of red mixed with grey on my head. Most people say that they do not notice the grey but I do. My upper lip and chin hair are predominately white. I noticed on a Web Site one company say they have exclusive rights to treat grey and white hairs. For a course of 4 sessions we are talking about £500. Can any members give me their thoughts please.
