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.

What's the Best Laser Hair Removal Machine? The clinics near me offer a number of different laser machines. names like Light Sheer, IPL, Yag, Duet, Cool Glide. What do the medical expert here think works best in laser hair removal? --Julie

A: Best results depend on your skin type, laser type, and practitioner

I am a big fan of:

alexandrite laser for light skinned people (cynosure apogee elite, candela gentlelase are examples of alexandrite lasers)

nd yag for darker skinned folks (cynosure apogee elite, candela gentleyag)

I think diode lasers (lightsheer) is also a good one, although I prefer individualized lasers mentioned above.

Not a big fan of IPL for laser hair removal...I used IPL for a while but gave it up in favor of above technologies.

	“Total Regrowth, Money Down the Drain...” I had significant hair growth on my upper lip and chin. I was sick of shaving and plucking, and I was tired of the hit to my self-esteem and femininity of having hair on my face. I did my research and found that I was supposedly a good candidate for laser hair removal because I have very dark hair and very light skin. It also seemed like it would work more quickly and possibly with less... more
	“Love Not Have to Shave, Thanks to...” I am so happy that I had laser hair removal of my underarms. It took 3 treatments to see a dramatic thinning but then 2 more to complete. I love having it done in a medical office so that any problems can be addressed immediately by the doctor. I felt safe and comfortable in this office. Worth the money, time and small amount of pain. more
	“Be Careful. More Than Worth It Some...” Hi all, I wanted to share my experience with others in hopes that it will help you. It's all about the area, and I would be very careful. I had laser hair removal starting about 7 years ago I guess, and went in for treatments for maybe 4 years. I had almost my entire body done (I was pretty hairy and sick of it being such a hassle in my life [including probs with ingrowns and scarring],... more
	“Results Okay So Far, Expected More” I have had two laser hair removal treatments on my bikini area. They seemed very effective the first couple of months, but now I've had a few months since the last treatment (moved out of area and haven't got around to rescheduling another session) it almost looks the way it always did and I can hardly see the difference between the area that was done and the area that wasn't. They did say it... more
	“Laser Hair Removal is More Trouble...” As a female, having facial hair is very embarrassing and two years ago I decided to do something about it. I’ve undergone laser hair removal on my facial hair for those past two years and I am disappointed in the results. I chose a reputable clinic in the area and chose their “heavy treatment” contract (I forget what they called it... some fancy name), so I bought more... more
