The buttocks are two rounded masses of muscle and fat located on the upper part of the human leg, below the waist and above the thighs. Each buttock consists of three muscles: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The primary function of the buttocks is to cushion the impact of weight-bearing activities such as walking, running, and jumping. The muscles of the buttocks also play a role in posture and balance and help you move your hips and legs.
Hair on your butt is generally no different than hair anywhere else on your body. Many people remove hair from their buttocks for aesthetic reasons, either by shaving, waxing, or laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure in which pulses of laser energy are used to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is most commonly used to remove hair from the underarms, bikini line, and legs. A medical aesthetician performs it.
Some of the benefits of buttocks laser hair removal include:
- Permanent hair removal
- It’s less painful than waxing or plucking
- It can be done quickly and easily
- It doesn’t cause skin irritation like shaving can
