Posted on Mon, 30 Dec 2013
Question: Please suggest your candid opinion on Laser hair removal for a patient who just underwent Pilonidal Cyst surgery & Hidradinitis Suppurativa 3 weeks ago. When should the patient go for Laser Hair removal. Is it a must to remove hair on both the butt cheeks for fear of recurrence of Pilonidal Cyst. How many sittings of Laser hair removal are needed for large area such as both butt cheeks. Any side effects, in view of PS & HS surgeries? Can the patient get the hairs removed in underarm near HS area as well, besides the PS site at the tail bone area? Very confused about whether to go or not to go in for hair removal in view of these 2 problems, resulting in surgeries Also pl. suggest a good Laser Hair Removal Clinic and approximate cost per sitting in XXXXXXX AZ, 85226 area, USA please. What s'd be the frequency of each sitting? Thank you
