Is getting Laser Hair Removal Safe Around Areola?

Is getting laser hair removal safe to use around the areola? I have a few hairs that I would like to remove in this area but want to make sure the laser hair removal won't do any damage.

Yes - effective for the areola

Laser hair removal (especially Nd-Yag) is great for removing darker hair from around the areola with just a few treatments. The sensitivity of the area can be treated with some topical numbing cream to make the treatment less uncomfortable. Find a board certifed plastic surgeon or dermatologist. I hope this helps!
