What is the safe and correct way to do brazilian for men using laser hair removal methods such as Alexandrite?

Question

During my full body laser treatments using Alexandrite, I have done brazilian two sessions. Although the result and satisfaction are great, I am a concerned about fertility. I am 33 yo male. In each session, I was helping the technician to hold testicles aside from the laser to reduce the risk of burning any cells underneath. It was never directly on testicles, but even going around them could not be very safe and accurate. What is the best and SAFEST practice for brazilian?

Hi there. There is absolutely no risk to your fertility doing laser hair removal on your testicles. The laser is targeting the hair follicle which is located very superficially in the dermis of the skin. Your sperm is produced and stored in the deeper structures of your testicles. If you would like the hair removed from your testicles it is absolutely safe. I hope that helps, good luck with your treatment.

Thank you for your question.  The penetration of the laser is quite superficial.  It is looking for the pigment in the hair follicle.  It will not affect organs of reproduction.  You can continue your treatments without worrying about fertility.  Regards, Dr. DiPasquale
