If ur father is ok for Laser one go for it. (ask the doctor how godd it would be for his age)

We did Laser one for my mom when she was around 45. It lasted for hardly 2 or 3 hrs.. and they discharged on the same day..
But whatever method you opt it would be very effective for 5 to 10 years...

Dear rohini
the new method laser is very easy and within 3 days you become normal (head both aater 30 days or so)
as per old method it take time to heal.
