Is permanent hair removal treatment safe on pubic area?

Sophie Neveu
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?
