Is It Safe to Have IPL Hair Removal Treatment for the Bikini Area? I would like to have IPL treatment done for hair removal in my bikini area? Is it safe? I have seen many reviews on burning due to sensitivity, however, most referred to facial and neck areas. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :)

A: IPL Hair Removal Treatment for the Bikini Area?

IPL hair removal depends on your skin type and your hair color. It really should not be done on sun tanned skin. While it is not as effective as some lasers there is no reason why it should not be done successfully in well chosen individuals using proper technique.

Laser on Chest Burned Around Nipples. Permanent Scarring? I am very concerned for future scaring and permanant change in color around my nipples!

A: Laser scaring and permanant change in color around my nipples

Regarding: "Laser on Chest Burned Around Nipples. Permanent Scarring? I am very concerned for future scaring and permanant change in color around my nipples!"

Without an examination, much less a photograph, your question is impossible to answer. Burns can be grossly classified into 3 large groups of which the Second and Third degree are much more challenging to treat. IF you have scarring you probably had a third degree injury. Since a scar is a permanent condition, it is safe to assume your scarring is permanent. The change in coloration reflects the amount of blood flow through the skin and the amount of pigmentary reaction to the injury. The doctor who aimed the laser at your chest SHOULD be the one treating your condition. Otherwise, he has no business using a laser in the first place.

“Laser Hair Removal Was Well Worth...”

I just completed my 6th session, I have two more sessions I've paid for but may not have to use. I went total Brazilian and started my treatments last year in April (08). I have been told that they are putting the laser on the highest setting for my skin type and while I do experience some redness immediately after a treatment, it goes away within an hour or so following the treatment.

“Indisputable Fact: Laser NOT Permanent”

I was very eager to do laser hair removal and began researching online all of the benefits. Unfortunately, in my eagerness, I focused on benefits, 'good' side effects, where to go, what laser to request - I did not pay enough attention to people reporting long-term effects: the hair grows back. I spent a lot of dough on my armpits & bikini - I even talked it up to my friends,... more
