Anyone know anything about this? I have been following the thread here re. hair vs. no hair. I never minded pubic hair But now my public hair is thinning and turning white. These signs of aging are embarrassing and I thought I should have it attended to while the vast majority of the hair is dark against fair skin. Anyone have any thoughts?

Lasers they use in licensed facilities are strong and need careful adjustment so as not to burn you or be too weak. I have a hard time believing they can make something that is just right for everyone and have it still work. I'm a pessimist like that.
It's cool and a good idea though.
