Making people with blonde, white, grey and residual vellus hair good candidates for laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal has provided an effective solution for millions of people looking to rid themselves of unwanted hair. The lasers use the naturally occurring melanin in the hair as a target to selectively disable the hair follicle while leaving surrounding skin structures intact.

However, lighter hair has too little melanin to provide an effective target for the laser, so people with white, grey and blonde hair have not been suitable candidates for laser hair removal... until now.
