Laser hair removal for the bikini area (both women and men) is one of the most popular procedures offered. Not only is laser hair removal effective at treating this body area, it also is very effective at eliminating razor bumps and redness associated with shaving, waxing or depilatory creams. The bikini area is also a region of common occurring folliculitis, inflammation and infection of the hair follicles. Folliculitis frequently results in itchy and painful lesions, but fairly often results in the darkening of the skin from the inflammation (hyperpigmentation).
Fortunately, the laser hair removal is the best treatment at reducing, or eliminating, hair growth and stopping, recurrent folliculitis (also known as “ingrown hairs”). By permanently reducing the hair growth in the bikini area, one can expect to have a smooth clean appearance without hyperpigmentation, ingrown hairs, redness and without razor bumps.
