Answer: Safe for the private areas (in the right hands) Modern lasers and intense pulse light devices are perfectly safe for laser hair reduction in the genital region when used as designed by properly trained and experienced providers. Since hair on the shaft is not exceptionally common, I would advise you find a provider who has experience with that specifically. The goal is deliver enough thermal energy into the hair shaft and follicle to stop it from growing, without causing injury to the surrounding tissues. This is being done to private parts everyday all over the country. My experience has been with female patients, and it is tolerated well. The male and female private regions are similarly sensitive, so I suspect you'll do just fine. The key is finding properly trained providers that have experience with their machines and with "laser hair reduction" techniques. Good luck.

Answer: Find an Experienced Provider with Good Equipment that is Regularly Calibrated Thanks for your question. This is a sensitive, but is completely safe. You should probably seek out a laser vs. IPL to help avoid complications. Almost all newer lasers are safe for all skin types and have features built in (such as sapphire cooling tips) to make them more comfortable. Some of the newer technology is also more efficient, allowing for lower energy settings to be used with better results and less discomfort. With modern equipment, your treatment should only be mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. We never use numbing cream for LHR. We want our patients to be able to tell us if they feel pain or an unusual level of discomfort.We recommend finding an experienced and reputable provider in your area with updated equipment. A consistent overlapping technique is the key to avoiding patchiness in LHR. Calibration and power of the laser is important for a safe, comfortable and effective treatment. Find out what laser they will use and if it is under a maintenance contract. If their laser isn’t calibrated on a regular basis or is underpowered, your treatment may be painful or inefficient. After a series of 6-8 initial treatments, you may need a touch up every 3-5 years.
