best method to get rid of excess hair--lose weight or laser? ok this is a wierd question but what is the best method to get rid of excess hair-- lose weight or laser? I wanted to go the safe route and lose weight but a friend told me I'm better off getting laser first because the hair is dark and coarse and laser will remove it then after that I should attempt losing weight because it will help balance my hormones which will prevent the treated hair from growing back (making the laser much more successful-since they cannot guarantee it permanent removal when someone has a hormonal imbalance). This person said if I lose the weight first then the hair might not necessarily be curbed, it might just get finer and lighter thereby making the laser ineffective as it can only respond to dark/coarse hair. Basically her point of view was that I should do laser first, then lose weight instead of attempting the weight loss first because she says I might just be stuck with fine blonde hairs that won't respond to laser if I just lose weight first. What do you think?
Thanks
