Is laser hair removal safe on the penis?

A
Anony10Jul 1, 2020

I have some hair growing on my actual penis (more toward the bottom) as I have shaved the small baby hairs that used to grow on accident. It’s very embarrassing and I would like to know if It is safe to use laser hair removal to get it permanently removed.

Thank you for your question! I would recommend to stop taking your biotin supplements as soon as you begin your laser treatments.  This is because hair, skin, and nail supplements like biotin are counter productive to your treatments due to their ability to stimulate more hair growth.

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for intimate areas. The darkest hairs respond best to Laser Hair Removal, and the majority of targeted hairs fall out completely in a matter of days.
