An overview of removing pubic hair with laser treatments. Discover how much it costs to remove your pubic hair, how many sessions you may be required to go through and the side effects.
The laser pubic hair removal process is more or less the same for men and women; it consists on shining the pubic area with a high energy laser beam for a very short time. This energy is soaked up by the dark pigment present in the hair follicles, neutralizing their ability to grow and suppressing them from becoming thicker. The laser beams attack pigments, so the lighter the skin, the less damaged it receives. However, the damage received in the skin is not permanent, even if the treated area is large. Removing pubic hair by laser doesn't normally cause pain, but just a little irritation. If you have very sensitive skin in your pubic area, you should consider using a mild topical anesthetic to reduce the irritation, but it is generally unnecessary.
The Different Types of Laser Pubic Hair Removal
There are several types of laser hair removal methods available. For instance, many people decide to eliminate all of their pubic hair, while others decide to leave a little bit of hair, therefore performing a partial pubic hair removal. Whether it is a complete removal or a partial one, the mechanism of functioning is the same.
There are various types of lasers used to remove hair like Pulsed diode array, Nd:YAG, Alexandrite laser, Ruby laser and Aragon laser. Argon and Ruby lasers are not being used anymore because their wavelength is unsafe for the skin. Of all the lasers mentioned, the most effective one is the Alexandrite laser, but it is not very useful unless you have very light skin. The pulsed diode array laser is used for medium-colored skin while Nd:YAG is used for more tanned skin.
Pricing and Sessions Required for Laser Pubic Hair Removal
Laser hair removal professionals normally charge from $200 to $600 per session, although there are several factors that will influence the actual prices. The number of sessions necessary to permanently halt hair growth is highly dependant on the skin color/hair color combo of the patient, being each session much more effective if the person has a very light skin and black or very dark brown hair. The closer to this combo, the lower number of sessions required. It takes roughly 4 sessions at a cost of around $2000 to complete the whole process.
Side Effects of Laser Pubic Hair Removal
The treated skin area may become red and sore after each laser session. It feels like a slight sunburn and usually lasts for a couple of days. You may apply some topical cream to relieve the pain. Furthermore, you shouldn't expose the treated skin to the sun within 6 weeks of your sessions to prevent further skin damage to the already sensitive skin.
The Problem with Permanent Pubic Hair Removal...
The main benefit of laser hair removal can be a disadvantage depending on which angle you look at it. You will not be able to groom your pubic hair again due to the fact that you will have no hair in your pubic area. Some people choose to keep only a small portion of pubic hair by choosing to remove pubic hair only on the bikini zone and areas that will be exposed outside their smallest bikini or underwear.
If you can afford the expensive cost and the minor inconvenience, you will never have to wax or shave again! You will be able to say goodbye to pubic ingrown hairs, pubic pimples, and razor bumps. However, please be 100% certain that this is what you want to do for there is no turning back once you permanently remove your pubic hair with laser.
