Is a whole body laser hair removal surgery safe? are there any side effects? does it effect sensations in private area*?

Generally safe: Laser hair reduction is generally safe but there are risks involved. Make certain that you are going to a center that is physician supervised to avoid complications. When done correctly, there are no long term side effects.
