Arm hair reduction instead of full removal?

I’ve got a lot of long dark hair on my arms. I’ve been looking into laser hair removal but do not want to completely remove all the hair on my arms. If possible I’d like to keep some hair without it looking patchy or uneven.

I trim my hair with clippers now but it just doesnt look natural and leaves the hair on arms very sharp.

Here is an example of what my arm hair looks closest to (mine is a bit more longer and the hairs are more dense in terms of closeness to each other and covering my forearm:

Can anyone recommend any procedures that could accomplish this?
