Is there a hair removal option for gentital area that doesn't cause darkening of the skin . shaving has given me a 5:00 shadow even wen fully shaved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laser: the 5:00 shadow is caused by dark hair semi visible through translucent skin. laser addresses the skin below the surface. Or save your money and just use clippers (carefully).
