Hello:
I am interested in using laser to reduce the amount and thickness of hair on my forearms/triceps and beard.
I am a white male and my forearm/triceps have black hair and a lot of it, which looks something like the pic in the link below. I would like to completely remove my tricep hair and keep my forearm hair but not have it grow as densely or as dark (see link for what I would like for my forearm hair to look like). The important thing is that the final result on my forearms look natural. I also don’t want the final hair growth to be stubbly or not grow in length as I saw other have on the site.
How many sessions would I need to accomplish this task?
What laser do you recommend?
Should I wait until after the summer to do this?

As for my beard/neck area, the hair is black and thick and dense, and I would like to completely remove the hair on my neck and reduce the density and amount of hair on my face so that I no longer have the 5 o’clock shadow even after shave, especially in my chin area.
It is important to preserve my masculinity and still have hair on my face grow - just not so much or thickly.
I have read a few horror stories on here of hair growing back in patches, hair not shedding for weeks and the the hair/skin getting very dark before it sheds. What is the probability of this happening if you go to a good practitioner?
Is electrolysis a better approach to accomplish this?
If using laser, how many sessions would I need to accomplish this task?

Just as important, if the skin looks read, patchy (from when the hair finally sheds) and dark, how do people deal with getting this procedure done if they have work and people seem them daily?
