Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal Just say no to lasers -- at least for peach fuzz-removing purposes. Lasers work when the melanin, AKA pigment, in the hair absorbs the energy and damages the follicle so that the hair doesn't grow back. Since vellus hairs don't have any pigment, there's nothing to absorb the energy from the laser and damage the follicle, Tummala points out. Save zapping for other parts of your body.
