Is this amount of stubble on my bikini ok for laser hair removal?

Hi there,Thank you for your photo and question. You are a great candidate for laser hair removal. Generally, it tends to work best on individuals with fair skin and dark, coarse hair, as the contrast makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicles. Since your hair is black and is showing, this means that the laser will pick it up and remove it effectively.
Keep in mind that laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions to achieve long-lasting results, and it may not completely eliminate all hair, but it can significantly reduce hair growth. Always consult with a professional to discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment.
Best of luck,Dr. Hamid Bimesl

Hi VPRGRL,

I am Sarah, a medical assistant at Aesthetic Skin MD with Dr. Anil Shah in Chicago. I have great news! It is actually preferred to have light skin and dark hair for LHR. In addition, you MUST be clean shaven before you LHR treatment anyway so your hair being short is not an issue.

Yes, Laser Hair Removal will help with your concerns. You would most likely need a package of 5-7 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart since it would be first time having the area treated. I would suggest exfoliating as well when you shave to help with the bumps. Over your treatment course with laser you will notice the hair will become less coarse and less dense which will help with the appearance. It is normal for this area to have more coarse and dense hair here in this area. Just keep in mind to only shave while you are completing your laser treatments, no waxing or plucking.
