Best way to remove pubic hair l dermatologist

How you remove or choose whether to remove your pubic hair or not is your prerogative.

Here are a few suggestions from a dermatologist point of view based on how the hair removal methods impact skin:

➡️Shaving
This is the most common method used. It may suit people but it is not preferred. If you like to shave , shave only in the direction of hair. Shaving can lead to small micro cuts in the skin which leads to infection. Reverse shaving also causes in grown hair. If you have bumps in your pubic area then do not shave.

➡️Waxing
This is a most painful way of hair removal. It can lead to burns if not done correctly. Washing can also lead to ingrown hair as the hair gets broken under the skin and starts growing inwards.

➡️Hair removal creams
This can be the cause for allergies or even darkening of the pubic area. The pubic area is exposed to moisture and friction. Any kind of irritation in the area tends to linger on for longer and cause darkening .

➡️Trimmer or clipping with scissors
This may be the most painless and hassle free way to remove hair. Always trim in the direction of hair. Though it will not give your smooth hairless skin, it is the one which is least likely to cause problems. You can use a sanitiser to wipe the cutting surfaces of these devices to prevent chances of infection. Always store in a dry are to prevent rusting.

You have to be very careful while using scissors. Always use your non dominant hand as guide.

➡️Laser hair reduction
If you want to opt for a more permanent option then laser hair reduction is a good choice. There is a common notion that laser hair reduction is either very painful or very expensive in the bikini area. Neither of that is true . Numbing cream can be used in people who are very pain sensitive. As this is reduction and not removal , there may be thin downy hair remaining, usually in the inner side of labia. As the hair in this area are thick, results with laser are very good.

Trimmer is probably one of the best human invention ❤️💥

Finally someone honest, yea cutting them with scissors and trimmer is best 🙂

[neerjamishra]

Brazilian peel off bikini wax is best in most cases . Trimmer doesn’t remove the hair roots and that becomes itchy in 2-3 days

[EarCandyAsmr]

trimmers is definitely the safest easiest way but I prefer waxing if you go to someone with experience you won’t get burned and it will be a quick experience. I’ve tried nair and shaving as well and didn’t have an issue if you are careful all methods will work

[rnkckbs]

Yeah... I agree with her... I had very few pubic hair in my teenage but I wasn't comfortable with it so I used hair removal creams and razor.. but it made my hair grow thick and dark... I discussed it with my mom and she suggested me to use a trimmer as pubic hair is normal and you dont have to wax them... waxing is normal on your body hair as its very fine and soft but pubic hair is thick so waxing can cause irritation and y'll its really painful... so girls its normal to have pubic hair, your pubic skin can't be smooth and hair free so stop waxing it to make it look smooth... trimmer can help you to keep your intinate area hairfree and it only takes 10 mins to do so...

Here's my go to intimate hygiene routine :

1. I use dove body wash as an intimate wash, face wash and ofc body wash.. Its very mild and you won't feel any kind of irritation or soapy residur while using it. But be careful to not apply it in the inner parts of your vagina as your vagina has a self cleansing system, it doesnt need any particular soap or cleanser.


2. I use trimmer every 15 days as I have very fine hair down there since I stopped using razor and hair removal creams. Trimming is very easy and it hardly takes 10 mins.

3. Also I do my routine body check ups as I have thyroid. This helps me to keep track of what nutrients my body is lacking and what dietary changes I can do to take care of my body. A good diet always helps you to get good hair and glowy skin.

It's everyone's own choice. Trimming is better for you maybe. But many of us prefer waxing/shaving over trimming. Mine won't last even a day with trimming 😂 I'm super hairy and my underarms and pubic area feels very itchy after just 2 days or shaving. I started waxing and never looked back. Waxing lasts more than a month

The trimmer has been a gift. I’ve been using a trimmer for over 11 years now and I’ve not gotten any new razor bumps. I prefer a rechargeable one, so I don’t have to deal with any cords.

I felt relaxed to know it's ok with scissors

[anitaramteke]

Please ma'am Make a video on premature grying of hair ... And will the treatment affect the skin and other regions hair too ???

[CinderTail]

I’m shaving with nail scissors. No ingrown hair, no bad skin. Just be patient

[shamma_]

But i want to shave it, can't wait to shave it all tomorrow 😂

Try Philips oneblade with body comb or for close shave for experience Philips bodygrommer. Philips bodygrommer just clean without any click and doesn't cost much, have full waterproof so just use while showering.

[nidhishetty]

Hi doctor these days herbal hair removal powders are in the market and lots of people are using it but i don't think its natural can you please make a video about it ir would be reall helpful Thank you lots of love 💕

[Vanshika]

Yes yes yes yes 🎉 using razors gave me so many bumps and irritation i used to hated doing it. And from quite a good time i am using only scissors to trim them down and now i am so happy with this 🎉❤

[surbhiambastha]

One should not remove it coz it protects any bacteria entering into..as our eyelashes protects eyes..it must be trimmed but not removed..

[harshitasingh]

Is wax powder a good choice for hair removal - legs and hands?

[garimaghosh]

I prefer razor . Since ages using it with no discomfort .
