Thank you!

it would make sense for a person with thick hair to get the entire face done for an equal look. however, when you claim that the baby hair on your face is barely visible, then i don't understand why your beautician would make you get your whole face done. i mean, doesn't it make sense that if you can barely see the baby hair, the skin will look even regardless of not getting laser done on the hair? ๐ i don't know. i don't understand why your beautician would say that to you.
The ideal candidate for laser has dark hair and light skin. The laser will not work on people with red, white, gray or true blond hair as well. The hot laser light will also be attracted to the melanin in the skin, so people with suntans, or dark skin types are at more of a risk for discoloration of pigment and other side effects.
so, again, if you don't have dark hair, why get the baby hair removed when you want it there? it's kind of like a lose-lose situation in your case--
1. you're spending money to get your baby hair removed even when you don't want it removed
2. your money might go to waste because laser doesn't work very well with light hair
oh, this reminds me of an idiom that i always hear: if it ain't broke, don't fix it ๐
