Laser hair removal on your scalp

[Thathawkguy001]

I’m thinking about getting laser hair removal done on my scalp.   I have some dark hair mixed with grey.  I think it would be nice to stay bald without having to shave as often.

Same here mine is lighter so Long term goal when I can afford is to get it lasered off.

It does not work well on light color hair as it does on dark hair and it does not work on the gray hairs at all!

what's up everyone? this forum seemed like it's pretty much dead. I'd really like to hear from the people who have gone through laser treatment. How's the result guys? are you guys still going for touch up?

I've thought about doing that, but only if I start balding for sure.  Not now if I want to let my hair grow and I want a new look.

Laser is a major step, especially if you still have a lot of hair.  I went for it after shaving my head for four years and don't regret it.  But, it's a decision I did not arrive at casually and after the first laser session, nearly all the dark hair on the sides and top was gone, so I passed the "point of no return" after one treatment!

Yeah, that's why for me it will be a last resort if I really start losing my hair for good. I rather have a clean smooth bald head than a few thinning strands over my head.

I understand your reservations since you still have a full head of hair.  But remember, if your hair turns gray, laser will no longer be an option.  But a lot of us actually enjoy the shaving.

I'm that case, either I won't have too much gray hair by the time I have major hair loss or just continue to shave.

Finally I can add my own story to this thread. After years of indecision I decided to go ahead and get my scalp lasered. I was scared because it?s a big visible body modification and the support of this group was invaluable. I had MPB maybe about NW4 and was sick of the irritation and daily time commitment of shaving and wanted an even smooth bald look. Five sessions later, I am so happy that I had the guts to do it. I still have a two resistent patches on the sides but overall shaving is 90% faster and easier, my skin is less irritated, and I have embraced by smooth bald look. I?m a happy bald man and now no going back.

Here are a few pictures comparing before and after one session (more to come).

It looks good.  Do you plan on more sessions now?

[Laser Man]

Great Results! the two resistant patches will eventually succumb to the treatments. You look good without the dark shadow.  Glad you are happy with the results.
