Laser Hair Reduction: As with any area you wish hair removal, the obvious benefit is that with optimal treatment, your result will be permanent hair reduction. Follow pre- & post treatment recommendations to optimize your outcome. Bikini area can be sensitive, but laser energy delivered can be adjusted to your tolerance and a topical anesthetic can be applied before hand. Side effects include pigment changes, redness..

Laser hair removal: In any area does not utilize ionizing radiation, and the laser energy penetrates only a mm or two, so there is never any risk of deeper tissue damage or concern. If performed properly, the hair is gone. Side effects can be redness, blistering, inflammation, folliculitis, etc. Infection or scarring are rare. Skin in this area is tender, so treatment parameters and intensity needs experienced care.
