Anyone heard of Laser Hair removal helping KP

I have heard that Laser hair removal should help KP. Since hyper-keratinization of the corneum is the issue and clogging up the hair follice. If laser removal destroys the hair follice in the dermis then it should remove the bumps associated the KP. Treatment is expensive, but it sounds like it would work. Anyone know someone that has done this?

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The hair follicles affected by KP are mainly villous hair follicles. These hairs have no pigment. Lasers need color to absorb enough heat to destroy the follicle. It would be a waste of money.
