A member asked:

I have very dark hair on my body underarms and private areas.how to get rid of these permanently any home remedy or anything.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laser vs electrolysi: Currently there are only two methods exist for permanent hair removal--laser and electrolysis, which are widely available in dermatology offices/centers. Waxing, plucking, or shaving are temporary measures. There is no home remedies for permanent hair removal yet. I believe there will be equipment/machines available for home use in few years. Consult your local dermatologists. Good luck.
