What should I do about thick hair and ingrown hair I get in the area under my belly button? (Photo)

katcamille
Recently I’ve been having problems with thick hair under my belly button. I’ve tried plucking, waxing, sugaring, and shaving the hair that appears there. However it still grows back faster than all my other hair and thicker, similar to that of pubic hair. Is this area a candidate for laser hair removal? If so, how many sessions am I looking at, what is the process, and how painful is it? What are the pros and cons? What other alternatives do I have?
