Hair on the areas you mention can be removed. The requirement for laser
hair removal to be effective is that the hair should have color. Laser
hair removal works best when hair is coarse and dark, but can also work
with finer hairs provided that they have some color. Laser hair removal
cannot "shape" the eyebrows because it is not precise enough to do that,
but it can remove them completely or remove the area of hair above the
nose and between the brows. Make sure to choose a laser hair removal
practitioner that has a laser that is specifically designed for your
skin type or you risk side effects and less than optimal results.

Regards,
