Hair that grows uninvited can be embarrassing and time consuming to remove. Shaving, waxing and using chemical depilatories can all take their toll – often painfully so.
Laser hair removal is a noninvasive procedure that uses light energy to target and disable the hair follicles responsible for growth, taking anywhere from minutes or up to an hour per area being treated.
Before
Unwanted hair growth on your bum area can be a real source of discomfort. Traditional methods like shaving, waxing and plucking may lead to painful ingrown hairs; but laser hair removal offers long term solutions with permanent results.
Laser treatment stands apart from traditional methods of hair removal by targeting and destroying individual follicles to prevent future hair growth. This saves you both time and money from expensive methods of temporary removal such as shaving, waxing, etc.
Before the procedure begins, your practitioner will clean and numb the treatment area as an added measure. This step is especially essential when dealing with sensitive areas like perianal and buttock regions.
Once positioned over the desired area, a specialist laser is used to deliver energy directly into target follicles that heats them up and disrupts their ability to produce new hair growth. Although some hair will regenerate back again, they should be thinner and lighter. It may take multiple laser sessions before reaching desired results but once complete the results should remain permanent.
Of course, light hair growth may return after laser treatments have ended; this can usually be managed with follow up sessions within a year of initial sessions. To achieve optimal results it’s also a good idea to regularly exfoliate the area to ensure any new regenerating hairs do not become ingrown, keeping the bum looking smooth and supple. Bum hairs come in all colors and densities with thick darker ones responding the fastest while lighter mid brown ones may take longer as they have reduced sensitivity – this can be addressed by increasing treatment strength during follow up sessions.
After
Buttock hair removal can be a frustrating challenge, with shaving and waxing often leaving painful ingrown hairs which become infected over time. Laser hair removal offers an effective solution, providing smoother skin with less maintenance requirements.
Laser hair removal utilizes short bursts of intense light that target hair follicles, damaging them so they no longer produce hair growth. Multiple sessions may be required in order to achieve results – the number will depend on both skin color and density of hair growth; typically people with lighter skin require between 5-8 and 8-10 sessions for best results.
During treatment, you will be provided with protective glasses or goggles and given topical anesthetic to reduce any potential discomfort. Your technician will then apply gel to the area before placing laser equipment over it to emit pulses of light that penetrate and absorb pigmented hair follicles and nearby skin surfaces.
Before your laser hair removal treatment begins, it is crucial that you shave and remove any extra hair. This will allow the laser to target only hair follicles rather than skin underneath them. Also beware of tanning beds or self-tanner in the weeks leading up to your appointment; doing so could lessen its effectiveness as well as cause side effects.
After your treatment, it is common to experience redness and swelling in the area that was treated, which indicates that hair follicles have been compromised. To minimize discomfort following your procedure and protect it from direct sunlight, use moisturizers post-procedure.
After several treatments, you should begin to notice your unwanted hair is gradually thinning or falling out. Unfortunately, hair still grows back occasionally despite your efforts; ongoing laser treatments may be required for lasting results as the cycle of growth and loss repeats itself; when new strands appear they will likely be thinner and lighter colored than its predecessors.
Discomfort
Laser hair removal is a safe and permanent way of eliminating unwanted hair. A light beam targets pigment in hair follicles to damage it without harming surrounding tissue; thus creating long-term results from laser sessions. While treatment sessions vary depending on skin color and type, 6-10 laser sessions for bum area hair reduction typically yield up to 85% permanent reduction.
For optimal results, waxing or plucking should be avoided prior to your first laser hair removal treatment session; shaving should still be allowed, though no sooner than 24 hours prior. Stubble can restrict how well the laser can reach and damage hair follicles.
During a treatment, you will experience mild discomfort in the treated area. It has been described as feeling like warm pinpricks or rubber snapping against skin very rapidly – this sensation varies between individuals but usually lasts only seconds or minutes at most. Your practitioner may provide cooling gel or anti-inflammatory cream to ease this sensation during your procedure.
While perianal and buttock areas typically aren’t included in standard bikini, Hollywood or Brazilian laser packages for women, they can still be addressed using an advanced laser system designed specifically to treat intimate areas like these. Your practitioner will use one specially tailored to these intimate regions.
Your laser hair removal sessions may cause some hair regrowth due to damaged follicles that didn’t fully die during treatment, taking time to heal before ceasing to produce hair.

Recovery
Following laser treatments, it is crucial to take extra precautions in protecting your skin from irritation. Avoid hot showers, jacuzzis, saunas and steam rooms until the area has fully recovered; use cooling lotion or cool compress for maximum comfort and no shaving or waxing until all discomfort has subsided. Also wear sun protective clothing and sunscreen post treatment as excess sun exposure may lead to hyperpigmentation in treated areas.
Laser hair removal works by applying a powerful beam of light directly to the hair follicles, where it penetrates to destroy them and thus inhibit future hair growth. Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary; however, the end results are impressive – one session in most cases will simply slow hair growth rather than completely eliminating it.
After your first laser hair removal session, you will notice that unwanted hair in the treated area has started to fall out – an expected and natural part of the healing process. Though some regrown may grow back thinner and less thick than before. Keep in mind that hair follicles have cycles, only those in their anagen (growth) phase being suitable candidates for laser treatment.
In the aftermath of your treatment, you may experience redness or slight scabbing in the area where treatment was given. It is very important that shaving or waxing the area until it has fully recovered as shaving/waxing could result in painful ingrown hairs; should this occur anyway, use depilatory products such as razors to remove them instead.
