Arizona Bikini Hair Removal

Removing hair from the bikini line is not a fun task. Because of its close proximity to the pubic region, the skin of the upper inside of the thighs is very sensitive and must be handled with the utmost care. Waxing the bikini area, one of the most common forms of temporary hair removal, can be very painful. Shaving the area is also a popular choice, yet often leaves short stubble that can become ingrown. Unattractive skin irritation in the form of bumpy red marks is common.

Laser Treatments Can Remove Bikini Line Hair Safely

Lasers for dermatologic use are FDA-approved as a permanent hair reduction method. The high concentration of light is beamed at the bikini area, allowing the follicles deep in the skin to soak up the rays. The light burns the follicles, injuring them to the point that they die. Individual strands fall out and the target area becomes bare. New growth may take place after several weeks, at which point the removal treatments can be repeated. Over the course of several months and an average of six treatments, a reduction of at least 40 percent can usually be seen, as reported by the Mayo Clinic. Laser treatments are non-intrusive, thus reducing the risk of irritation, nicks and cuts that come with shaving and waxing.

A Phoenix-area chain of spas called NuU Medspa offers this treatment, as well as other procedures aimed to correct body imperfections. NuU Medspa's Phoenix branch resides at the Paradise Valley Mall. Other Arizona locations include Glendale, Mesa, Scottsdale and North Scottsdale.
