Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

When it comes to beauty, every woman wants to look and feel her best especially when it concerns her vagina. The vagina is the most sacred place on a woman’s body that we always try to cherish and protect. One type of protection for women to consider is how we care for our lady bits; many women chose to remove hair completely from their vagina while others chose to keep a landing strip of hair above the vagina. Despite how you might take care of the hair on your body, there are three ways to help you achieve the look (waxing, shaving and laser hair removal. Each method comes with its own pros and cons, but one offers more benefits especially for Black women. 

Personally, I am a woman who loves her vagina to be completely bare. I just love the look and feel of her.

Unfortunately, I was also the woman who endured a lot of unpleasant things (ingrown hairs, acne) in the aftermath of waxing and shaving. It was not until I went to a dermatologist that I was told that due to the natural state of my vagina hair that waxing was no longer an option for me.

As Black women, we tend to naturally have course (thicker) hair and that can cause problems when you are waxing or shaving.

A sure-fire way to help achieve the desired look and avoid the pitfalls that shaving and waxing provide is to investigate laser hair removal. Keep reading below to see if Laser hair removal is right for you. 

Laser Hair Removal: What You Need to Know

Top 5 Benefits

1. Avoid Ingrown Hairs

In this treatment solution, you are removing the hair gently from the roots unlike waxing and shaving when the hair is ripped from the roots.

This helps prevent ingrown hairs from returning when the hair grows back until eventually, less and less hair grows back after each session. 

2. Softer Hair

Laser hair gives you that silky smooth feeling. No more prickles after shaving or waxing and you can be sure that when the hair does grow back it will be softer than before. Goodbye thick hair especially for us Black queens. We only want thick hair on the top of our heads, lol. 

3. No Scars or Painful Side Effects

Laser hair removal is a no-mess procedure that leaves you pain-free. You do not have to worry about shaving too close and cutting yourself or getting burned by the hot wax or just enduring the process of having a waxing strip pulled from your body. That always comes with a little pain.

4. Lasting Results

If you always wanted to be hairless down below, then you will love this benefit. Although I am sure you loved the other ones as well.

Each session offers you a reprieve of weeks or months of no hair growth. How amazing is that?

Shaving and waxing bring back hair growth within the week of treatment at least for me it does. 

5. Shave Between Sessions

You can finally shave between sessions, unlike waxing, where you are told to let your hair grow so the wax will have something to pull on.

This solution encourages you to shave before each session to help prevent the scorching of hair on your skin. No scorching allowed. It also affords you a bare look all year long. 

In the end, every woman wants the best for their body, especially their lady bits. Choosing the right hair removal solution for you is the step in the right direction especially for us Black women and our thick hair. I hope that this article has helped you in deciding or has helped you start thinking about if your vagina is getting the best possible care. As for me, waxing is outdated because of all the ingrown hairs I would endure, and trimming does not offer me the bare look. So, I am truly considering laser hair removal.
