JennX I'm curious you did two years of laser? why did you do two years didn't it work.... "Laser does not stimulate hair to grow" If you do a search you'll find plenty of sites advertising laser hair rejuvenation. It seems there is no end to what lasers can do. One thing's for sure they are very effective tools for removing cash from your bank account.
Even the high powered Alexandrite and ndyag lasers have low settings. Low levels of energy are being used to encourage growth. When you go for your first appointment at a laser hair removal establishment they normally start low.... Any hair growth that is potentially stimulated by low levels of energy won't respond to further treatment because it will be too fine and in it's early stages it probably won't have much pigment. Such hairs cannot be treated with laser. That's not hear say it's fact!
I agree with "the sooner you start the better" but not for someone with immature type hairs. If you have full blown gnarly thick black hairs then yes, why not, but otherwise no! Have a look at laser induced paradoxical hypertrichosis.
Follicles can be fired into action in a number of ways, basically anything that stimulates blood supply for example, low level laser....
I am aware that some people do have a level of success with laser hair removal, I had a degree of success myself but from AlexisB's description of the hairs that she has I'd say she isn't a good candidate for laser.
Alexis you'd be better off waiting and having electrolysis with someone who knows what they are doing. You might be lucky and experience a reduction once you start blockers and by your description you shouldn't need a lot of work....
