Remove Pubic Hair: Laser Hair Removal

If you’re looking for a quick, painless way to get rid of unwanted pubic hair, laser hair removal may be the right option for you. This type of hair removal treatment involves using a laser or other light-based technology to target and destroy the cells responsible for growing pubic hair.

While it can be an effective way to achieve long-lasting hair removal, there are also some potential downsides to consider before you start this type of treatment.

REJUUV

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a type of medical procedure that uses light-based technology to target and destroy the cells responsible for growing pubic hair. The hair follicles are located beneath the skin, so treatments must be able to penetrate into this deeper layer of tissue in order to work correctly.

While there are several different types of light-based technologies used for this purpose, including lasers, intense pulsed light (IPL), and radio frequency technology, most people refer to all of these types of treatments as “laser hair removal.”

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

During laser hair removal treatment, a high-intensity beam of focused light is directed at the skin where the unwanted hair is located. 

The light energy from the laser or other type of light-based technology heats up the hair follicle and the cells surrounding it, destroying them.

The treatment will usually result in some discomfort to varying degrees based on your individual pain tolerance level. It may take several sessions before you see any significant results with this procedure, and you can expect to see your results become more apparent over time.

Pros of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatment has several potential benefits, including:

  1. Long-lasting results: One of the main advantages of laser hair removal is that it can be a relatively long-lasting solution for unwanted body hair. This type of treatment can provide long-lasting hair removal, as it targets and destroys the cells that produce new pubic hair. While there’s no guarantee of permanent results with this type of treatment, most people who undergo laser hair removal will not need to repeat the procedure for at least several years.
  2. Fast treatment times: One benefit of laser hair removal is that the treatment time is relatively short. Depending on the size of the area being treated, you can usually complete your laser hair removal treatment within one hour or less. This type of treatment is also often quick and easy enough to perform in a doctor’s office during a lunch break, which can make it convenient as well.
  3. Low risk of side effects: While there are some potential side effects associated with laser hair removal treatment, most of them are mild and should go away after a few hours to a few days.

Cons of Laser Hair Removal

While laser hair removal treatment does have some potential benefits, there are also some downsides to consider as well. These include:

  1. Potential discomfort: Since laser hair removal involves using heat to destroy the cells that produce new hair growth, it can cause some discomfort during the treatment.
  2. Potential skin damage: Some people may have an unwanted side effect from laser hair removal treatment called thermal burns, which is a type of skin damage that can occur when too much heat is applied to the area where the treatment was performed. Depending on your skin tone and other factors, this damage may appear as blistering, scarring, or discoloration.
  3. Potential for hair regrowth: Since laser hair removal treatment targets the cells that produce new pubic hairs, the procedure may not be an effective long-term solution for everyone who undergoes it. It’s possible to see some new growth of pubic hair after undergoing this type of treatment, which requires ongoing maintenance in the form of regular repeat treatments.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Laser hair removal treatment is performed by a trained dermatologist or medical professional using a laser that targets the cells that produce new pubic hair. 

Prior to your procedure, you’ll likely be asked to remove any clothing or jewelry from the treatment area and may also need to shave off all body hair above the waist. 

The entire procedure should take only a few minutes to complete, and afterward, you’ll be able to return home or resume your regular activities.

The procedure itself is painless but can feel uncomfortable depending on the sensitivity of your skin and the thickness of your body hair. During the treatment, you may also experience some mild redness and swelling around the area where treatment was performed. 

This should go away within a few hours to a couple of days, and you can usually use makeup or other over-the-counter products to cover the redness if desired.

What's The process?

Since the hairs you want to remove are still in an active growth phase when treatment begins, it’s important to begin your sessions early enough so that new hair is targeted during all or most of the growth cycle. 

In a man who shaves his pubic area, this means beginning at least a week before he wants hair removal to be complete. At your initial appointment, the dermatologist or medical professional will first assess the thickness and color of your body hair and perform a test spot to ensure that you don’t experience any unwanted side effects. 

Then the technician will use a laser like the one shown here to remove pubic hair in a grid-like pattern over your entire treatment area. You may need to repeat this procedure several times, depending on the amount and thickness of your body hair.

After laser hair removal treatment is complete, you’ll have some temporary redness and swelling in your treated area, and this may need to be covered with makeup for a few days until it goes away. 

You should also avoid sun exposure for at least a few weeks after treatment and wear sunscreen whenever you go outdoors. 

Finally, remember that laser hair removal treatment cannot prevent new hairs from growing back in the future unless you continue with regular maintenance appointments to keep your hair follicles permanently damaged.

Does Laser treatment Hurt?

While some people experience a stinging sensation during treatment, most people report that the discomfort is mild and easily tolerable. In the rare cases where pain is more severe, your doctor will likely be able to work with you to adjust laser settings accordingly.

What To Expect After Treatment??

In most cases, it takes about 6-8 treatments to achieve ideal results with laser hair removal treatment. However, in some cases, permanent reduction of body hair may not be achievable for everyone who undergoes the procedure. After treatment is complete, you should continue to see a gradual decline in the thickness and amount of your pubic hair over time as new hairs are prevented from growing back through regular maintenance appointments.

what are the side effects of laser hair removal?

The most common side effects experienced with laser hair removal treatment include: pain, redness, irritation, and swelling. In some cases, patients may also experience blistering or crusting of the skin in the treated area as well. However, these side effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few days after treatment. If you do experience any of these side effects, be sure to follow the instructions of your dermatologist or medical professional.

How Long Do Results Last?

Make sure you read this carefully. The reason being, some patients could be scared by the numbers in here because they don’t realize how long it takes to achieve permanent hair reduction or how often they will need to come back for maintenance laser sessions. Most importantly though is that if a patient only needs two treatments and their hair reduction is 100% permanent, then they will only need two treatments to achieve a complete result.
