I have recently grown more hair than normal and after three pregnancies and a bit of weight gain, the hyperpigmentation in my inner thighs never fully want away. After waxing and shaving regularly for years, I also have a lot of blackheads in my inner thigh. Will laser hair removal fade the hyperpigmentation and blackheads?

Answer: Laser Hair Removal may have added benefits Laser Hair Removal is a great treatment for reducing unwanted hair and shrinking the size of those hairs. Additionally, there may be a reduction in the number of ingrown hairs after an initial series of treatments. Anytime you change the way in which you remove hair- waxing, epilating, shaving, using an electric razor or layering, you will get a reaction. We have 2 lasers for hair removal in my office a Yag laser for darker skin types and an Alexandrite laser for lighter skin types. Make sure the right laser is chosen for your skin type. Black heads need to be extracted, lasers probably won't get rid of them. Hyperpigmentation may fade in lighter skin types with an Alexandrite laser as a side effect of the treatment, but most likely another therapy- bleaching cream or Q switched Yag may be necessary to remove the unwanted discoloration.

Answer: Laser Hair and Hyperpigmentation A bleaching cream will help decrease the pigmentation in the area and laser hair removal will reduce the hair and prevent the breakouts in that area. Please make sure they choose the correct laser hair based on your hair and skin type. Best, Dr. Green
