There has been a considerable surge in public interest for pubic hair removal services in our western society since the 1990s due to celebrity endorsements of Brazilian waxing and the growing acceptance of thong bikinis like the Brazilian bikini that require a shaven pubic region to complete the sexy look.

The same is true for men and their pubic hair; with the rise of the "metrosexual" men, more men are interested in shaving, waxing and trimming their pubic hair, too.  If you decide to shave your pubic hair, one way to reduce your risk of razor burn is to shave in the same direction that your pubic hair grows (which is opposite of how most women shave their legs).  Until recently, women and men kept their pubic hair pretty much in its natural, unshaved state with the exception of removing hair that fell outside bikini line.

Pubic hair in most adults tends to be very curly. The curliness of the hair often makes it very hard to shave, this will result in a higher chance that the hair might become ingrown if the pubic region is shaved.

Pubic laser hair removal is an extremely popular option for people who would love to have less hair in their nether region. Waxing is a good option also, but it is very painful and the hair grows back faster than if you had the laser. Pubic laser hair removal can offer permanent hair reduction if done properly.

The laser works on all hair types, but if you are light skinned and have dark colored hair then you have become the better candidate of this procedure. This is because the laser targets the pigment in the hair. As stated above, the darker the color of your pubic hair is the better results you will be able to receive. The bad thing about the laser is if you have dark skin, the laser will also target the pigment in the skin. This means you could have some discoloration that could last for months.

Pubic hair removal laser will reduce the hair in the area by 1/3rds if it is done properly. Once the hair that grows back will be very thin and have a much lighter color.
