Dear Jacqui:
I have quite a lot of hair around my vagina and anal areas and was wondering what would be the safest, preferably long-term, way of getting rid of it?
Diane

Dear Diane:
The only hair removal procedures that are permanent are done by laser or electrolysis. The latter is not advisable in this intimate area of the body. Many women have reported that removal by wax treatment is a little uncomfortable but it is quick and, over time, less hair grows in. Chemical lotions and creams are not advisable for this area of the body.
