Can Hair Around Breast Nipple Be Removed by Laser?

Laser Hair Removal: Breast Skin or Nipple hair are suitable for laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal works by a process known as selective photothermolysis. In this technique, black pigment in a hair follicle is heated and destroyed. The process can lead up to permanent hair removal.
The hair on the breast, abdomen, bikini, legs, arms, face, and nipple are all suitable for this modality of treatment.
Make sure that the laser is appropriate for your skin color.

Yes, laser hair removal may be performed around the areolae. Please seek an experienced practitioner and remember to get a patch test done performed first to see how you skin reacts to the treatment. 

Laser hair removal can be performed effectively for nipple areas. However, you should seek a center that is supervised by board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience and the right laser in performing hair laser for ethnic skin as the nipple areola areas have to be treated as dark skin with more modest energy and increased pulse duration to spread out the heat to minimize laser burn. Remember, laser burn can happen in the most reputable medical clinic so it is important that the supervising physician is ready to step in and take care of all skin related contingencies.

As long as the breast hairs have color and some coarseness, you are a good candidate for laser hair removal in this area. The procedure works the same in this area as any other area on the body.

Laser hair removal is an effective way to permanently remove hair in virtually any location.
IPL or ND-yag are the types I use in my practice most commonly for hair removal. I have used products from Lumenis and Cutera with good results.
If the hair on your breast is blond or if you have very dark skin then laser treatments may be less effective. In addition there are usually multiple treatments required and risks include treatment site reactions and discomfort.
I hope this helps.
