Brazilian Bikini Laser Hair Removal - is It Healthy?

I was wondering if it is safe to laser remove hair from inside your private area? My gynecologist (one of the best in Boston) tells me not to shave it as it will interfere with the natural processes in there.

Brazilian Bikini Laser Hair Removal--is it healthy?
