What You Should Consider Before Choosing Laser Hair Removal For Pubic Hair
The laser pubic hair removal process is more or less the same for men and women; it consists on beaming the pubic region with a high energy laser beam for a very short time. This energy is absorbed by the dark pigment present in the hair follicles, disabling their ability to grow and preventing them from becoming thicker. The laser beams attack pigments, so the lighter the skin, the less damaged it suffers. However, the damage received in the skin is not permanent, even if the treated region is large. Removing pubic hair by laser doesn't normally cause pain, but just a little irritation. If you have very delicate skin in your pubic region, you should consider using a mild topical anesthetic to reduce the irritation, but it is generally unnecessary.
The Different Types of Laser Pubic Hair Removal
There are several types of laser hair removal services available. For instance, many people decide to eliminate all of their pubic hair, while others decide to leave a small portion of hair, therefore performing a partial pubic hair removal. Whether it is a complete removal or a partial one, the mechanism of functioning is the same.
There are many types of lasers used to remove hair like Alexandrite laser, Pulsed diode array, Aragon laser, Nd:YAG and Ruby laser. Argon and Ruby lasers are not being used anymore because their wavelength is unsafe for the skin. Of all the lasers mentioned, the most effective one is the Alexandrite laser, but it is not very useful unless you have very light skin. The pulsed diode array laser is used for medium-colored skin while Nd:YAG is used for darker skin.
Pricing and Sessions Required for Laser Pubic Hair Removal
Laser hair removal professionals mostly charge from $200 to $600 per session, although there are a few factors that will alter the exact prices. The number of sessions necessary to permanently stop hair growth depends on the hair color/skin color combination of the patient, being each session much more effective if the person has a very light skin and black or very dark brown hair. The closer to this combination, the fewer number of sessions needed. It takes roughly 4 sessions at a price of around $2000 to complete the whole process.
Side Effects of Laser Pubic Hair Removal
A few minutes after each session, the treated skin area may become pink or even red. It feels like a mild sunburn and usually lasts for a couple of days. You may apply some topical cream to relieve the soreness. You must also avoid prolonged sun exposure for 6 weeks after your treatment to prevent further damage to the treated skin area.
Drawbacks of Permanent Pubic Hair Removal
The main benefit of laser hair removal can be a disadvantage depending on which angle you look at it. You will not be able to style your pubic hair again due to the fact that you will have no hair in your pubic region. Some people choose to keep only a small strip of pubic hair by opting to remove pubic hair only on the bikini line and areas that will be exposed outside their skimpiest swimsuit or panties.
If you can put up with the high cost and the minor inconvenience, you will never have to shave or wax again! You will be able to say goodbye to pubic pimples, razor bumps and pubic ingrown hairs. However, please be 100% sure that this is what you desire for there is no turning back once you permanently remove your pubic hair with laser.
