My interest in lasers is not huge but I have thought about different applications for them such as entertainment, medical, and graphic art so I am thinking that reading more on this forum may pique my interests. That's my intro.
Here is my question.
I am so sick of shaving. It is like pushing a boulder up a never-ending hill. My beard is average but when I grow facial hair I'm OK with it for a few days but after a few days it gets itchy so I want it gone. I looked into laser hair removal but from what I understand it only works on dark hair. I did read that in Israel they use a method that plucks the hair first which cause some blood around the follicle and then when the laser light hits the blood around the follicle it kills the follicle.
There are methods that claim to remove light hair but when you read reviews for these products there are a lot of disappointed customers.
Since red filters absorb green light and since blood is red I'm thinking that perhaps a green laser pointer might destroy the follicle.
Your thoughts?
