Jim,
If it looks similar to my surgery site a razor with a blade would be like using a chainsaw to make toothpicks. I have a patient who was in a similar position and he did some research and sought out an esthetician who utilized an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) machine to remove hair. He went for 5 sessions and in his own words, "..smooth as glass with no regrowth for the last 6 months." I am currently looking into the method and risk/benefits of this system. I also intend to contact an oncologist friend to see if IPL could harm or cause more problems in an area that has been treated for OC. I'll keep you all posted on any info I get.
Brian, have you heard anything about IPL hair removal post-cancer treatment and if so any words of wisdom or caution?
My patient is happy and he was given the OK by his Doctors.
This by no means mean that it is safe for everyone. Check with your doctors.
I may even check it out so that I don't have to play with sharp objects around my neck in the morning with one eye open. God knows that I have hacked a few good steaks off over the years and shed a few pints and I'm supposed to be good with my hands! LOL
Cheers,
Mike
