At Satori Laser, we understand that every client’s hair and skin composition is unique. This is especially true for clients who have both pigmented and white (or gray) hair.
As hair loses pigment over time due to genetics or natural aging, traditional laser hair removal — which targets melanin in the hair follicle — becomes less effective.
Personalized Consultation and Hair Assessment
Each client begins with a comprehensive consultation conducted by our certified technicians.
During this session, our team will:
-
Evaluate hair color distribution, follicle density, and skin tone
-
Assess the ratio of pigmented to non-pigmented (white or gray) hairs
-
Create a customized plan that fits the client’s goals, lifestyle, and budget
This individualized approach ensures that every client receives a realistic and effective treatment plan designed to deliver the best possible results.
Laser Hair Removal for Pigmented Hair
For hair that still contains pigment, Candela GentleMax Pro remains one of the most effective laser systems for long-term hair reduction. This medical-grade device safely targets darker hairs while maintaining comfort and skin protection throughout treatment.
Benefits include:
-
Visible reduction in darker hair growth
-
Smoother texture and fewer ingrown hairs
-
Long-lasting results with regular treatments
Laser sessions are scheduled according to the natural hair growth cycle to achieve optimal and consistent results.
Alternative Options for White or Gray Hair
Because white and gray hairs lack melanin, they do not respond to laser energy. For these areas, Satori Laser recommends complementary methods that can be safely combined with laser treatments to maintain an even, smooth appearance.
Options include:
-
Electrolysis – A proven, FDA-approved technique that permanently removes all hair colors by treating individual follicles with a fine probe and controlled current.
-
Waxing or Epilating – Effective for temporarily removing white or light hairs from the root, keeping skin smooth for several weeks. These methods can be used between or after laser sessions in areas where laser is less effective.
-
Shaving – A quick and convenient way to maintain a clean, smooth appearance between treatments, particularly for fine or light regrowth.
By combining laser hair removal for pigmented hairs with suitable non-laser methods for lighter hairs, clients can achieve the most complete and natural-looking results possible.
Schedule a Consultation
If you have mixed white and pigmented hair, we encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our specialists. Together, we’ll design a plan that combines laser treatments and alternative methods to achieve the best possible outcome for your skin and hair goals.
