What should I do if a girl's belly button grows hair all together?

For girls, if there is dense hair in the belly button area, or even the hair is connected together, it is indeed embarrassing. It is also not conducive to wearing cooler clothes at this time. In fact, this situation is generally a normal physiological phenomenon. It is mainly due to androgens, which cause the hair in the belly button and the perineum to be connected together. If you feel it is really an obstacle, you can use laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal methods

Anesthesia and preoperative preparation

1. Anesthesia method

Anesthesia is generally not required, but surface anesthesia can be used for those who are sensitive to pain.

2. Preoperative Preparation

(1) For patients with darker skin types III to V, they should avoid sun exposure as much as possible before surgery. It is best to use sunscreen for 4 to 6 weeks. Those with a tendency to pigmentation can also use hydroquinone drugs for prevention.

(2) The skin of the treatment area must be prepared and the hair must be completely shaved before surgery. Because visible hair can damage the epidermis due to high heat caused by laser burning, it can also cause irreversible damage to the laser guide and cause unpleasant odor, but mechanical plucking or waxing cannot be used for hair removal.

Indications

Suitable for all areas of dark or light hair, but not for white hair.

Contraindications

1. Infection in the treatment area or history of herpes simplex infection.

2. Those who are allergic to hydroquinone or other bleaching agents.

3. Patients who have used other methods of hair removal within 6 weeks.

4. Have a history of keloid.

Laser treatment steps

The general steps of laser treatment are: ① Turn on the power and preheat the machine. ② Preparation of the treatment area: Shave the hair and clean the area to remove grease and dirt before treatment. ③Set treatment parameters and conduct trial treatment. ④ Obtain the optimal parameters and complete the entire treatment. ⑤ Explain the precautions after surgery.

Postoperative complications

Laser hair removal has few side effects. The most common skin reactions include pain, temporary erythema and edema around the hair follicles. More serious reactions include blister formation, pigmentation and hypopigmentation. Scars are rare.

Postoperative Care

1. Scattered erythema and edema will appear in the hair removal area after the operation. No special treatment is required and it usually disappears within a few hours. In severe cases, ice treatment can be used.

2. Keep the area clean after surgery and avoid sunlight.

Precautions

1. The patient's medical history should be carefully inquired before surgery.

2. Appropriate eye protection should be provided before treatment, including for patients, operators and observers in the treatment room.

3. At the beginning of treatment, the light spot should be tested on an inconspicuous area before proceeding with full treatment.

4. The therapeutic dose should be appropriate.

5. Continue to use cooling measures during treatment.

6. Prevent wound infection and take oral antibiotics if necessary.

7. If pigmentation occurs after treatment, it may fade or disappear after a few months of local sun protection. If the pigmentation does not disappear, hydroquinone cream can be applied externally.
