Can you get laser hair removal on your bikini/pubic area if you have HPV?

Question

I have an appointment to get it done today, and just found out I have HPV, can I still get it done?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes, you can as long as you dont have active disease or condition. Ensure you have immunization even with active disease.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

You can still get laser hair removal around your pubic area despite having HPV. HPV (human papillomavirus) affects approximately 80 percent of people who are sexually active. There is no indication that laser hair removal will adversely affect the virus. Only get laser hair removal from a certified, experienced laser aesthetician for optimal results. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can LHR on the bikini area as long as there no active lesion or disease. I recommend discussing this with your physician so the appropriate steps can be taken before treatment. Best of Luck!

Kent Holtorf, MD · Answer

You should be able to as long as there is no active lesions or disease at the time.  I would reach out to your provider and let them know of your condition to make sure you take the correct steps.
