While I have learned through a hard way that my pubic area isn't shaving friendly, I thought of permanent hair removal treatment. So far, I've received 5 treatments from a dermatologist's clinic that uses Fotona's laser equipment. The first four treatments seemed effective but prior to the fifth, my pubic hair started to grow back as normal again. I'm just worried of doing too many laser treatments, especially in the pubic area. Might it affect my reproductive system? Is it cancer risk-free?
Answer: Laser hair removal to pubic area It is absolutely safe to have laser hair removal to your pubic area. The laser selectively targets only the growing hair follicle which is located very superficially beneath the surface of your skin. There is no risk at all to your reproductive organs. Additionally, the wavelengths of light used in cosmetic lasers are non-carcinogenic.
