Laser hair removal could be your answer if you want to achieve smooth skin this summer. Unlike shaving or waxing, laser treatments offer permanent hair reduction methods.

Laser treatment uses heat to activate melanin pigment in your hair follicles and disable them, ultimately decreasing hair growth. On average, six-12 sessions will likely be required in order to fully suppress hair growth.

Laser hair removal works by transmitting pulses of light energy directly into the skin. This heats the tissue, heating hair follicles to destroy them or inhibit their future regrowth – an easy, painless and very effective treatment option compared to waxing, shaving or chemical creams that may irritate or cause skin issues; laser hair removal provides permanent solutions.

Before beginning our course of treatments, a consultation is absolutely essential. At this meeting we will review your medical history and discuss any concerns. This also gives us the chance to assess your hair type to ensure it suits laser. Finally, we perform a patch test on your bikini line to make sure everything goes as smoothly as planned – this way ensuring there is no adverse reaction.

Once you commence with a series of sessions, results should become quickly noticeable. As your hair begins to reduce and later regrows finer and lighter. Over the course of your treatments, this should happen more gradually for labia and bum hair as well.

Your treatment should last around 15-20 minutes depending on the size and shape of your bikini line. Prior to scheduling an appointment, it is essential that no shaving or waxing takes place in this area; additionally, avoid prolonged sunlight or tanning beds as laser light may interact with melanin pigment and lead to burns from exposure to laser light.

For maximum effectiveness, bikini line treatments must take place regularly to achieve lasting and complete results. Due to the hair growth cycle, laser can only target anagen stage hairs which represent approximately 20% of hair follicles at any one time – hence why for optimal results we suggest scheduling six-weekly treatments.

Perianal laser treatments can also be included as part of our bikini packages, as this area covers the rectum and perineum for both men and women and covers up to 20% of their pubic area. You may choose from our selection of Bikini, Brazilian or Hollywood packages or treat this area separately based on your own individual needs.

No matter if you want a standard bikini line or go for full Brazilian or Hollywood laser hair removal treatments, the choice is entirely yours. A course of laser hair removal for bikini area will leave it smooth without any unwanted hair growth – saving time from waxing and shaving which can often leave an unsightly mess and irritation behind.

Laser hair removal for labia and bum can be life changing for many women. With dense, dark-coloured hairs that are difficult to manage with other methods, and frequently cause razor rash or ingrown hairs requiring regular shaving rash cream usage; laser hair removal offers the ultimate solution, freeing you to enjoy all aspects of life including holidays, beach bodies, lifestyle choices and lifestyle activities.

An average course of 6 to 12 sessions of laser hair removal for labia and bum areas is advised for optimal results. Our treatment can be customized specifically to you so that any unwanted hairs in these sensitive areas are removed effectively with minimal discomfort and hair color, skin tone, heat sensitivity or other factors can influence how many sessions will be needed based on individual circumstances such as hair colour, skin tone, heat sensitivity or any underlying health or hormonal conditions that might make an impressionful first impression.

Women looking to ensure their hair doesn’t come back and reduce any discomfort should consider adding the perianal area (replacing rectum and perineum) as part of their bikini or Brazilian laser hair removal package. It is easy, quick, painless and most clients add this treatment on to make themselves completely hair free underneath; adding this service usually does not increase costs more than doing full bikini/Brazillian packages – giving you confidence to wear swimwear with legs exposed!

What results can I expect from laser hair removal on the bikini line?

Laser bikini line hair removal has been clinically proven to effectively decrease hair growth. After just a few sessions you should notice that hair growth decreases significantly and that those left are finer and lighter, leading to less need for shaving as ingrown hairs become less prevalent – ultimately you may no longer require shaving after completing a course! But keep in mind that results aren’t permanent and maintenance treatments may still be required once every year or two.

Reducing unwanted bikini area hair can be a huge confidence booster and will allow you to feel more comfortable wearing swimwear and lingerie. For optimal results, at least six separate sessions (sometimes more) should be conducted for maximum effectiveness, targeting each hair follicle at its ideal point in its growth cycle.

Avoid direct sun exposure for two weeks prior and one week post treatment in order to decrease the risk of hyperpigmentation, burning and scarring. Furthermore, any skin-renewing products containing glycolic or salicylic acid should also be discontinued at least three days before your appointment.

Your skin, face & body specialist will recommend a post-treatment routine designed to maximize the benefits of your treatment and help ensure its effectiveness. Expect some temporary shedding or ingrown hairs after each session but this should subside within 7-14 days.

As with all cosmetic treatments, it’s important to set realistic expectations when starting any treatment course. Your consultation will include a patch test and discussion of how your treatment could progress; how many sessions it may require depends on factors like hair color/thickness/tone as well as how your body responds.

Many people find laser hair removal more tolerable than waxing. Waxing can be painful and results only temporary while laser hair removal offers permanent solutions to unwanted body hair. A course of treatments may take anywhere between six months to over one year to complete but results last much longer than when waxing was applied to unwanted body hair.

Do I need a consultation before I start a course of laser hair removal on the bikini line?

Laser hair removal is an extremely safe and effective method for getting rid of unwanted body hair. It works by emitting a beam of light that penetrates into the skin, where it absorbs pigment from hair follicles to convert light energy to heat that destroys them and prevents future hair growth. Please be aware that treatment requires multiple sessions before reaching desired results as hair grows in cycles with anagen phase hairs being treatable, while catagen and telogen phase ones cannot.

Bikini line laser hair removal typically requires six to twelve sessions to reach desired results, during which you may experience itching and swelling of the treated area, but these should subside within several hours of starting treatment. A high quality aloe vera gel may help soothe these side effects afterward as direct sun exposure or intense exercise could increase risk factors like redness or inflammation after receiving treatments.

Prior to your sessions, it is recommended that you refrain from waxing or plucking hairs from the area, as this can alter their growth cycle and allow for easier targeting by laser treatments. Shaving is also advised; shaving allows hairs to be targeted more directly by laser. Tanning beds and self-tanner products should be avoided as these could have an adverse impact on results achieved from treatment.

Women often require six or more sessions to address the bikini line and labia area; this will vary depending on individual. Planning ahead by booking sessions in advance will ensure a more consistent schedule and less missed appointments which could extend your course’s length of time.
