Hairy Situation: Hair on My…Nipples?

Cindy,

I’ve just started reading your blog,  and it feels good knowing that everyone has these hairy situations. I have one hairy situation that hasn’t been brought up yet and I wanted to get your feedback.  I can’t believe that I’m going to be revealing this deep dark secret but here goes…I have hair that has been growing around my nipples. First off, is this common? I’ve been taking tweezers to the hairs individually but they keep growing back.  Second, is there a way to get rid of this forever to end plucking before a date? thanks,  Patiently Plucking

Dear Patiently Plucking,

This is absolutely more common than you would think. This is obviously not something you speak openly about over dinner with your best friend, but I guarantee if you did you would have just one more thing in common. The best way to get rid of this hair is by using simple laser hair removal. But CAUTION: make sure you go to a technician that has a specialized machine which has a small spot size. The areola area must be treated with a more precise and accurate light.  So do your research and choose wisely.
