Laser hair removal can provide women with an effective long-term solution to unwanted pubic hair growth. Unlike waxing and depilatory creams, which only temporarily suppress growth of unwanted pubic hair follicles, laser treatment actually destroys them to stop further expansion of unwelcome pubic follicles causing undesirable pubic regrowth.
Once your laser hair removal procedure has taken place, avoid picking or scratching the area treated as this could expose tender skin and lead to infection. Furthermore, avoid plucking or waxing any remaining hairs from removal sessions as well.
What is the procedure?
Laser hair removal can provide an effective permanent solution to unwanted body hair growth in sensitive areas like the groin and perianal area. Unlike shaving, waxing, or plucking which removes surface-level hair only, laser hair removal targets the roots to leave areas smooth and stubble-free. Performed at spas and clinics using FDA-approved technology and administered by trained aestheticians using an initial test spot first if you feel uncomfortable about proceeding further with treatment. It should not pose any threat to pubic area safety – however.
Laser hair removal is a quick, painless, and fast solution for unwanted body hair in sensitive areas like women, men, and trans people who are tired of shaving, waxing or tweezing themselves to keep hair under control in this sensitive region. Furthermore, its results last much longer than shaved or waxed techniques.
At the start of each treatment, your aesthetician will apply a numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort during the session. While you may experience some stinging and discomfort during this procedure, this should subside quickly afterward. Once ready, a laser device emits pulses of light to damage and stop future hair follicle growth – depending on your skin tone and hair color this could require multiple visits in order to produce optimal results.
Though laser hair removal can be effective for the groin and perianal areas, selecting an accredited technician is paramount for optimal results. You should choose an entity registered with an appropriate body as this provides evidence of training, skill, and insurance coverage – it’s best to avoid practitioners who utilize unlicensed or unregistered equipment as these may compromise treatment results.

How long will the procedure take?
Laser hair removal works by applying heat to areas of pigment-rich skin. The heat from the laser damages hair follicle cells, stopping new hair growth from sprouting. As such, multiple sessions may be needed before noticeable results can be seen; most people need between four and six sessions for noticeable change to take effect.
Time taken for hair removal depends on a number of factors such as desired number, skin tone and the color of your hair – for instance those with darker locks will typically have more hairs in their target areas than those with lighter locks – therefore consulting with a licensed aesthetician prior to beginning is highly advised.
Laser treatments on the genitals may feel embarrassing at first, but aestheticians specialize in this area and will do everything possible to make you comfortable during their process. You should also know that it has been used safely and successfully for decades – it just might feel that way!
Before your session, shave the area you will be targeting to allow the laser to more effectively target hair follicles. Furthermore, tanning beds and sun exposure should be avoided several weeks prior to receiving treatment as both natural and artificial tanning can interfere with and lead to serious side effects from treatment.
During the procedure, pulses of light will feel similar to rubber bands snapping against your skin – though the sensation is unpleasant, the pain is minimal and doesn’t last very long. Protective goggles or glasses will also be provided during this step of treatment.
After your treatment, it is normal for redness or swelling in the targeted area to increase temporarily; this should pass within several days. You should also try not to use any products with fragrance such as body lotions and soaps in this area and keep it away from direct sunlight in order to protect its skin. You may require using moisturizing cream or oil for additional hydration purposes if this persists.
Once the redness and swelling subside, your results should become evident. Results vary between individuals but most experience significant hair reduction due to only those follicles which are in their anagen (growth) stage being affected by laser light treatment.
What are the risks?
Laser hair removal in the pubic area is generally safe, though it’s wise to speak to your physician first before having the procedure performed. He or she will assess your risk factors and decide if laser hair removal is right for you. Trimming or shaving the pubic area prior to laser treatment may help reduce skin damage caused by burns from lasers; additionally an anesthetic cream could make the procedure more comfortable for you.
Laser hair removal on the genital area carries certain risks that should be kept in mind, including redness, swelling and crusting of the area – similar to irritation felt following Brazilian wax. It is essential not to pick at or expose new skin exposed by picking at crusting because this could lead to bleeding, scabbing and scarring; sunlight must also be avoided as much as possible to keep this area clean following treatment. It would also be prudent not to use scented body products around this area.
Laser hair removal should not be performed while pregnant or breastfeeding due to insufficient data regarding its safety for fetuses. You should wait a few weeks after giving birth before having this done, since hormonal fluctuations during gestation can lead to excessive hair growth in sensitive areas like the genital area.
Laser hair removal on the genitals does not pose any long-term complications, save for its possible side effects. According to The Mayo Clinic, there has been no evidence linking laser hair removal with infertility, cancer risks or acne breakouts. Furthermore, prior to having any procedure conducted it’s wise to discuss any allergies or medications being taken with your physician in order to ensure an uneventful recovery time frame and prevent using waxing, shaving and tweezing on this area after treatment has taken place.
How do I prepare for the procedure?
Laser hair removal is an effective solution to permanently eliminate unwanted body hair from all parts of the body – including the genital area. This permanent solution eliminates depilation, waxing and shaving as well as ingrown hairs associated with body hair growth.
Before initiating laser hair removal treatments, it is vital that the area being targeted be trimmed and shaved to expose its root structure for laser targeting. Furthermore, tanning should be avoided in the weeks prior to treatment as well as any use of darkening creams which darken skin tone; anyone on blood-thinner medications must wait two-three weeks prior to having laser treatment sessions.
Procedure is quick and relatively painless for patients; most have described the sensation as feeling like rubber bands snapping against their skin; some areas may be more sensitive than others. A post-treatment aloe vera bath may help alleviate any slight itching discomfort experienced after laser therapy has been administered.
Most men and women require six to eight treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart for optimal results, although new hair growth may occur between sessions, especially during hormonal fluctuations such as pregnancy or menopause. Thankfully, additional laser treatments can quickly rectify such growth.
Laser hair removal can be an effective solution for men and women looking to clear away unwanted genital hairs, without risking damaging tissue integrity or making bikini lines more noticeable than they already are. Furthermore, bikini areas can often be hard to treat using other means; thus making laser therapy an ideal way to treat them.
Laser hair removal not only eliminates shaving and other forms of hair removal, but it is often less painful than electrolysis or other methods due to laser’s targetting melanin instead of skin, thus lessening damage caused by electrolysis treatments and hair reduction techniques. Furthermore, this form of hair reduction provides faster and more convenient solution than its alternatives.
