I rarely shave my pubic area but when I do, I get razor burns and if I shave all the way, on occasion I get something like a vaginal infection. My question is what would be the best hair removal solution given the fact that I don't want to risk permanently removing the hair? I incline towards IPL because I've heard it rarely leaves the skin hair-free forever. What would be the solution that would only soften and thin out the hair, but still help keep its infection-protecting properties?

Answer: Minimal Laser Hair Removal Thank you for your question. Any laser hair removal treatment has the ultimate goal of damaging the follicle resulting in permanent hair loss. However, you need multiple treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart to ensure the hair is in the proper stage of growth for the treatment. I would recommend getting fewer treatments that needed and using lower settings to ensure you keep some hair in tact. Best of luck.

Answer: Partial reduction of Hair Laser hair removal only works on actively growing hair. Only about 15- 20% of your hair is actively growing at any specific time. If you want to "soften and thin out the hair" simply have 2 or 3 IPL treatments (instead of standard 6-8) each 4-6 weeks apart. This would remove about a third of your hair and make them fine.
