Is it True that Laser Hair Removal on the Bikini Area Would Cause Sensation Loss?

i'm planning to get a hair removal on bikini area but i have heared that using laser on those area would cause a sense of frustration from their inability to feel sensation, pleasure, or sexual pleasure from vaginal-penile intercourse

A: Hair removal and sexual sensory loss

Thanks for your inquiry.Hair follicles live in a relatively superficial layer of the skin.  This is what allows laser or pulsed light to destroy the hair follicles. Treatment by these modalities can lead to some superficial inflammation or numbness which is generally short lived.  The nerves that lead to orgasm during sexual intercores are deeper and generally in areas that should not be treated.  Be sure you perform your treatment with an experienced physician to determine if you are a good candidate and avoid risks such as burns and blisters.
