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
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.
I take 40 mg of accutane twice a week to help with my persistent acne. I take vitamin E and was also taking fish oil on the days that I took my accutane. I haven't had dry skin, and hardly have had dry lips even in this winter weather! I've had numerous laser treatments done, even when I had used retin-A the night before, with no scarring or burning. I also had a chemical peel 2 days before I started the accutane with good results. I have dark coarse hair and need to continue laser. Can I do it?
If you were my patient, I would perform a test spot to see if the healing of the laser treated area will be affected by the accutane. In my opinion, that would be the only safe way to do this.
Hi, Here are some pictures. The lighting was bad so my skin color may not be accurate but im guessing i should go with the ndYag laser- This was after about 72 hours of shaving- how many treatments would i need? Is it really worth it to have an expectation of a hair free face unless i choose electrolysis- i dont mind yearly maintenance though after few laser sessions- my guess is that i may need about 6-8 sessions. Look forward to hearing your advice-
You shouldn't really compare these two methods. I think lasers are preferable in every situation!
You want a physician who has lots of experience and the settings he or she uses and your response to them will guide the treatment. Also, it is not realistic to expect a "hair free" body. You will have a dimunition of the hair permanently. With a lot of my patients who are women, more hair shows up with aging (on the face). The laser of course is never going to treat the hair that hasn't shown up yet! Many patients who are successfully treated with get touch up treatments in the future, as needed. Every one gets six treatments and some need more. If you decide to stop the treatments you can do that without harm but its best to commit yourself to at least six.
