Brazilian or bikini line laser treatments effectively eradicate pubic hair growth in the lower genital area. After 6 to 10 sessions of treatment, hair will return more thinly and less dense than before.
If you feel anxious about the process, try to remember that your practitioner has probably seen all this before – they work with intimate areas on a daily basis and know exactly how best to assist with them.
1. No more shaving
Laser light energy absorbs pigment (color) found in your hair and converts into heat energy that damages or destroys its follicle, eventually leaving behind damaged strands to shed on their own and reduce or eliminate the need for daily shaving altogether. Women may even be able to reduce shaving frequency to only once or twice every week!
Before beginning laser hair removal treatments, it is necessary to shave as this will create an easier path for the light energy to travel down into the root and kill off future growth. Exfoliation is also advised in order to remove damaged hairs. A high quality moisturizer without sunscreen should also be applied – any products containing sunscreen could interfere with results or cause irritation to the skin.
If you have any inquiries regarding how to prepare for a laser session, it is a good idea to speak to an aesthetician. They may provide a list of things to avoid such as sun exposure and certain medications like isotretinoin (Accutane), which could deteriorate skin.
Based on your target areas, multiple laser sessions may be necessary before seeing full results. After this initial course is complete, maintenance treatments typically become cheaper than waxing or shaving sessions and save both money and time spent using other hair removal methods like waxing or shaving; furthermore this treatment method may reduce complications related to unwanted hair growth such as folliculitis and discoloration.
2. No more waxing
Extra hair growth can be a source of immense frustration, from unsightliness to time and cost consuming removal methods like shaving or waxing. Thanks to laser hair removal technology, however, all those hassles can finally end!
If you decide to undergo laser hair removal, it’s essential that you wait at least two weeks after stopping shaving before your appointment for any treatments to allow hair follicles to shed and make laser hair removal more efficient. This will allow the laser beams to target and eliminate them more effectively.
Before and after laser treatments, it is wise to refrain from waxing or depilatories in the treatment area as this will pull hair directly out of its follicle and diminish their efficacy.
Before and after laser sessions, use a sugar or salt scrub on areas to be treated; this will speed up the shedding process and ensure optimal results. Furthermore, sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater that contains zinc oxide should also be worn.
Shaving and waxing can cost a considerable amount over the course of your life, but by investing in permanent solutions you could save both money and frustration in the form of decreased time usage and hassles.
3. No more tweezing
Excessive pubic hair growth can be both embarrassing and inconvenient for women and men alike, often leading to painful results. Waxing and shaving are popular solutions, though both methods may cause considerable pain as they try to remove unwanted hair follicles, sometimes leading to ingrown hairs in return.
Laser hair removal offers a more effective solution: laser treatments can permanently reduce the amount of hair in sensitive areas like your bikini line and elsewhere, leaving smooth skin. Plus, laser treatment is cost-effective than waxing without needing chemicals or pain medications for recovery.
Before scheduling a laser hair removal session, it is wise to refrain from using depilatory creams or plucking or tweezing the area that will be treated. The laser needs to see pigment in order for treatment to work effectively – if there is not enough pigment present, results could vary or side effects such as hyperpigmentation may arise.
Maintain your results from laser hair removal by shaving any stray hairs that pop up three days prior to each treatment session, helping the follicles shed naturally and prevent rapid regrowth. Furthermore, it’s wise to stay out of direct sunlight or use fake tanning products before and after receiving laser treatments as excessive tanning can diminish its efficacy and leave your skin less responsive to treatment.
After laser treatment, it is best to let areas that were treated shed on their own rather than trying to manage the hairs yourself by shaving, waxing or plucking. Pulling can cause them to grow back thicker and darker which could reduce success of future treatments.
4. No more ingrown hairs
Ingrown hairs are a common result of shaving, waxing and other harsh forms of hair removal methods such as electrolysis. They often present themselves in red bumps that are both uncomfortable and irritating – which in turn may develop pustules which contain fluid-filled cysts indicating infection.
Laser hair removal can effectively and permanently rid yourself of ingrown hairs on your body, by targeting pigment and destroying hair follicles. Furthermore, it can reduce scars left behind from previous ingrowns as well as skin marks left by previous ones – making laser one of the most efficient solutions against unwanted hair growth.
Note that it usually takes four or six treatments before any visible reduction in hair growth can be seen; this depends on factors like your skin type and thickness, hair color and hormone levels.
At your first session, your specialist will begin by washing the area and applying numbing cream or gel before guiding the laser over your desired treatment area. As it absorbs pigment from hair follicles and transforms it to heat energy, destroying them through laser treatment, the hair in those follicles should cease growing over time – any regrowth occurring thereafter would likely be less visible and less noticeable than before.
Laser hair removal may be considered elective, but it remains an effective solution for eliminating unwanted body hair and maintaining smooth, even skin. Not to mention it saves both time and money that would have otherwise been spent waxing and shaving. Unfortunately, however, laser hair removal treatments do not qualify under Medicare or most health savings accounts (HSAs); therefore it’s advisable to set aside the budget necessary for these sessions prior to proceeding.
5. No more irritation
Hair removal procedures such as waxing, shaving, and tweezing can cause skin irritation; laser treatments offer relief by targeting only hair follicles – not their surrounding tissues – for maximum effectiveness in producing silky-smooth skin without discomfort from other methods of hair removal.
Though treatment itself is fast and pain-free, most individuals experience some initial discomfort from its pulses of light resembling rubber band snapping against their skin; sensitive areas may even feel more intensely than others. Most discomfort usually fades within several hours; for added relief use aloe vera gel or lotion to alleviate redness or swelling in these areas.
After laser treatment, some patients may notice some minor scabbing; this should only last a short while. Applying moisturizer afterward is crucial to avoid permanent scarring and any related issues; additionally using sunscreen with high SPF protection is also an option to protect the area after therapy has taken place.
As soon as your laser treatment sessions conclude, it’s essential that the treated area be left undisturbed by shaving, plucking or waxing to allow natural growth of treated hairs and prevent any complications from emerging. In addition, exercise, saunas or hot showers after these treatments could induce sweating that clogs pores leading to breakouts if sweat accumulates resulting in breakouts.
An effective laser hair removal session starts by selecting an experienced provider. They should be licensed and trained in performing this procedure and possess a variety of laser equipment suited for all skin types, adhering to all state and federal regulations as well as explaining everything before proceeding with their sessions and answering any queries about what will happen during them.
