First, bikini line laser surgery probably costs about 2-3 thousand USD. It depends on the hair and how many treatments you need. I have a friend who had it done and it looks gorgeous. It's VERY painful though. Think of it as a thick rubber band being snapped against your skin very fast for a long period of time.

Secondly, I am FINALLY an Esthetician. It was an incredible and educational journey that I am excited to begin as a career. KP was my "thesis" topic, here is what I recommend for ALL KP sufferers to try on areas of the body, except inside of the vaginal area. From my research KP is something that almost 50% of the population suffers from, it is, in short, an over production of Keratin (a protein that makes up your hair and nails) in the hair follicle. People with KP seem to exfoliate less naturally than others so we have to prod it along. Chemical exfoliation has been working for me. Find a body wash and lotion with salacylic or glycolic acid in it. Depending on your KP, you may need a "cosmesutical" grade formulation, meaning you can not get it at the grocery or drug store. It is something either you have to get from a dermatologist or a professional esthetician. If you are a teen (or just a frugal adult) and can not afford to spend $40 on a bottle of body lotion, try your own enzime "peel" smash up some papaya fruit and rub it on the area and rinse (this is good for your face as well) The key to controlling KP is exfoliation. DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT use a cheap manual exfoliant, something like the St. Ies apricot. This is why. Inexpensive manual exfolants, (manual exfoliant menaning something with granuals in it), are inexpensive for a reason. In order to keep cost down the labs that make it can not use the highest quality products. Under a microscope a cheap exfoliant looks like broken shards of glass. The granuals are not smooth, but a better quality exfoliant will have a smooth surface which will not scratch your skin but gently rub off the top few layers of skin. A chemical exfoliant on the other hand, will give you better exfoliation. If you are young do not consider using a chemical exfoliant on your face without the advice of a professional esthetician or dermatologist. If you would like to email me privately, I will give you some product names to try. See your dermatologist, Ammonium Lactic Acid has also worked for me.

If you are someone who is interested in skin, as a KP sufferer myself, I urge you to get into the business of skin. Become a dermatologist or an esthetician. If you do that, you can treat your own KP witout having to pay prices that the rest of the public has to pay. You can play with formulations of products that are "cosmesutical" grade and find the best one for you. KP can be an expensive thing to treat, but if you have the resources to do it yourself, it makes life alot easier! The best thing about being an esthetician is the FREE SERVICES (waxing, facials, etc)
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do a patch test before trying ANY new product on your body. Give it 24 hours to react, if you don't get an allergy, proceed with caution and give it a try!
As a disclaimer, and to protect myself, CONSULT A DERMATOLOGIST before doing anything you feel uneasy about using.

Also, as an esthetican you can get additional training that makes you certified to run a laser hair removal machine. Talk about being hairless for next to NOTHING!
