I just covered shaving in part 1, hair removal creams in part 2, and waxing in part 3. Now, let’s talk about laser hair removal for your butt hair.
Laser hair removal provides the most permanent and lasting results for removing hair from your butt and around the anus.
Studies show that you can permanently remove anywhere from 20% to 90% of your hair through multiple treatments.
How it Works
Laser therapy destroys hair follicles and impairs hair regrowth by emitting high-intensity light deep into the skin tissue resulting in targeted therapeutic heat to the hair follicles.
Many of the professional laser hair removal devices today feature cooling technology to protect the upper layers of your skin during treatment and to minimize any discomfort. The discomfort commonly reported with laser hair removal is a sensation similar to a rubber band popping on the skin.
Laser hair removal is effective on dark hair and light skin color combinations only. Blond, gray, red hair can not be treated with laser hair removal.
After your treatment, hair will begin to fall out over the following 10 to 14 days. Follow-up treatments will be needed approximately every 6 weeks, and usually no more than 4 to 6 treatments are needed for satisfactory results.
Pros
- Fairly quick to treat areas
- Better feeling skin
- Less shaving
- Hair is less noticable
- Permanent reduction
- FDA approved
- Less pain compared to electrolysis and waxing
- Reduces thickness of hair over long-term
Cons
- Some hair may grow back
- Expensive
- Scarring, blisters, and burns can occur
- Hyperpigmentation can occur
- Multiple treatments are needed, usually at least 5 sessions
- Not everyone is a candidate
- Treatments not completely pain free
Costs
$1,000 to $2,200 USD for 5 treatments. So about $200 to $450 per session on average (depending on where you live).
Alternatives
There are two at-home laser hair removal products on the market today that are FDA-approved and a little more cost-effective, especially you want to remove hair from other areas of your body.
These devices run between $500 and $800.
Where to Go
There’s no shortage of spas and doctor’s office offering laser hair removal–a simple search in Google will yield hundreds of results. American Laser Centers and Laser Perfect are some of the largest networks across the United States.
