If you choose to remove your body hair here are a few things to know about the various methods of hair removal from a dermatologist.
While surface methods like shaving and depilatory creams offer quick fixes, they only remove hair above the skin, leaving the root intact. This means short-term results, with stubbles growing back the next day.
Root methods such as waxing and epilation provide longer-lasting results (3-4 weeks) by removing the entire hair follicle, including the root. Epilation has a reduced risk of hyperpigmentation and ingrown hairs.
Energy-based devices like IPL, electrolysis, and laser offer the longest and most permanent results. By disrupting the hair follicle and preventing regrowth, these methods break the hair growth cycle. However, not all energy-based devices are safe for skin of color, so thorough research is essential. For those with melanin-rich skin, ND Yag 1064 LHR is the safest option.

Maybe we should just teach people to love and accept their body hair. We were created with it for a reason
That part…
I don’t care what society thinks of my body hair, I just want silky smooth arms and legs that even a baby would be jealous of just how smooth and soft it is 😭
Some of us have issues with ingrowns and strawberry skin and don’t want red bumps and folliculitis. It’s not always a vanity issue.
@kpeggs82 I understand that, however, a lot of people have issues with their hair because society teaches them to be ashamed of it. Specifically women. I do understand that ingrown hair does exist if you don’t shave, but that’s not my point. Most people shave and remove hair because they’re ashamed to even have it like it’s some unnatural thing
Are we going to teach people to love other people’s musty odor that comes with the extra hair?

My derm offices uses something called Motus AZ+. I haven’t tried it and unfortunately I don’t have a derm in my area that treats mostly skin of color, so I’ve stayed away except for urgent care.
I heard that you can’t do laser hair removal if you have moles. Is it true?
