Laser hair removal

Here is our complete guide to bikini and Brazilian laser hair removal.

 

What is Brazilian and Bikini Laser Hair Removal?

These treatments are both methods of removing all or part of the unwanted hair that grows on the pubic area.

 

Difference between Bikini and Brazilian hair removal

They are only slightly different.

 

Bikini hair removal targets the hair on both sides of the pubic area (and sometimes the top as well).

 

Brazilian hair removal gets rid of all pubic hair.

 

Both methods are safe and effective methods of hair removal, so you can look and feel your best when you wear your bikini bottoms.

Both methods have long term results. They eliminate the need for shaving, waxing and plucking. You may need follow-up treatments to keep the area 100% hair-free, but it works.

However, each person is different. Some people see a reduction in hair within a few months, while others enjoy smooth, stubble-free skin for years.

Laser hair removal is also a great way to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, which is common in this part of the body.

 

What is involved in laser treatment?

Both bikini and Brazilian laser hair removal involve the use of laser technology. The laser sends pulses of light into the hair follicle of each hair, destroying the root of the hair so that it does not grow back.

Each hair grows at a different rate, so laser hair removal requires several treatments to completely remove all the hair.

The hair growth cycle consists of three stages and the laser is only effective when the hair is in the active growth stage. Multiple treatments (several weeks apart) ensure that each hair is destroyed as it grows.

Laser hair removal is suitable for all skin types, but those with fair skin and deep hair tend to see the best results.

 

Does it hurt?

The great thing about laser hair removal is that it is not too painful. Most patients feel only mild discomfort. This is often compared to the sensation of a rubber band being pulled against the skin.

Your laser technician will use cooling methods to soothe the skin before the procedure. This can reduce the amount of pain you feel.

 

How to prepare for your laser bikini treatment

·        The first step in the treatment is to arrange a consultation with a licensed technician.

·        During the consultation, your technician will give you an estimate of how many treatments you will need. They will also explain how the treatment process works and what you should do before and after each treatment.

·        To minimize side effects and see the best results, it is important to do what your technician says in the days and weeks leading up to treatment.

·        About six weeks before treatment, you need to stop plucking and waxing as the hair follicles need to remain intact in order for the laser to work. You also need to stop tanning so that your skin has its natural level of melanin during the treatment.

·        You will need to avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners and painkillers, for a few days before your treatment. Your technician may also ask you to shave the area the day before your first treatment.

What to expect after treatment

Each person's body reacts differently to laser hair removal. Some people report mild side effects, but most side effects subside within a few hours of treatment.

It is common for the skin to be swollen or red for the first few hours after treatment. Aloe Vera is usually all that is needed to soothe and calm the skin.

Some patients may also experience mild itching for a few hours after treatment. Aloe Vera can also help with this.

 

Have some patience after treatment for complete hair removal

As for results, everyone is different. Do not expect to see results immediately after the first treatment. It usually takes a few days (sometimes even weeks) before you start to see hair loss. In fact, you may need to have several treatments before you see any results.
