Laser Hair Removal Light Hair

if i have a lot of fine, light-colored hair on light skin in an unwanted place, would laser hair removal...?
rather stimulate growth, or would it actually work?
and if it wont, what other options are there to remove such hair?
It won't make your hair grow any faster. It can only make it thinner and thinner. But since it's so light it may need a lot of treatments on HIGH power, if it works at all. Here's my normal answer too because it explains how the lasers remove hair =-)
Okay... science answer:
You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have.
Okay...
Personal Experience:
I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips spart to laser all the cracks... It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500
