A member asked:

Is laser hair removal for the genital area safe?

Dr. Vicki Levine answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Usually: as long as the hair that is treated is not on a mucosal surface there should be no problem with doing laser hair removal in this area. Just remember that story I'll do change and if the hair removal is permanent you can no longer change your mind
