Like other anatomical areas, laser hair removal of the bikini area is dependent on such factors as hair density, color, thickness, and skin color. Phoenix Plastic Surgery shares some factors that will be evaluated by your physician to help choose the most appropriate laser system for each patient. Those physicians with the most experience in the field of laser hair removal have the greatest potential for choosing the most appropriate light source and laser.

Although hair removal of the pubic area is widely sought after, and effective, there are more than just aesthetic concerns when treating this area. The bikini area is also a region of common occurring inflammation,infection of the hair follicles and folliculitis. Fairly often secondary hyperpigmentation and darkening of the skin occur from the inflammation, result in itchy and painful lesions, but fortunately, the laser has been very helpful in reducing, or eliminating, hair growth and diminishing, or stopping, recurrent folliculitis.

Not only does laser hair removal stop the folliculitis, and subsequent skin darkening, but some of these laser systems are beneficial in reducing skin redness, and persistent hyperpigmentation, which occurred from earlier episodes of folliculitis. This exciting secondary benefit to laser hair removal is extremely appreciated by the patient. Having a bikini area that is free of irritation, hair and hyperpigmentation, can be very desirable.

Waxing, electrolysis and depilatory cream are typical forms of bikini hair removal,but they have their limitations on ease of use and effectiveness. Permanent hair reduction can be seen in just three to six laser hair removal treatments. It is a rapid and well tolerated procedure. Although some hair may be left behind, patients will see a reduction in the diameter and coarseness of bikini are hair and this makes for much easier maintenance.

Overall, the outcome is highly effective and patient satisfaction is high. Remember lasers are medical devices and require a medical professional for use and safety. Physicians specializing in these procedures are much more effective in the end result and safety procedures are mostly likely to be followed.
