00:00I'm so over getting a bikini wax and having to shave my hair downstairs.
00:08What are the side effects to having laser hair removal on my vagina?
00:11Signed, Bald Eagle in Sleddell, Louisiana.
00:15Well, all right, Louisiana.
00:17So I will start by saying, you know, it is safe to remove unwanted hair from the bikini
00:24region, but you just want to make sure that you're finding a qualified physician or a
00:28qualified provider.
00:29So you want to make sure that they are well-educated.
00:32You want to make sure it's sanitary.
00:34And you also want to make sure they're using the right laser for your skin tone.
00:38So ask the right questions.
00:39If you're African-American, ask them, what type of laser are you going to use?
00:43And then research that type of laser to make sure it's appropriate for your skin tone.
00:48And also ask them if they work with a lot of African-American people.
00:52And with the question, and in general, you always want to know the side effects.
00:56So potentially you can have changes in the color of the skin so it can get lighter or
01:01darker.
01:02And then there's always a risk of infection, swelling, redness, bruising, things like that.
01:08So also pregnant women, I want you to remember this.
01:12We don't really have a lot of evidence that it's safe for the fetus.
01:15So I would help pregnant women to stay away from that procedure because it's cosmetic and
01:20it's just not worth the risk.
01:21Is there anything that you should do to prep for that procedure before you get it done
01:24outside of research?
01:25Is there anything that you could physically do?
01:27I would say mainly just the research and prepping.
01:31So know what you're going to get.
01:33Yes.
01:33Know who you're going to.
