Avoid ingrown hairs and razor rash while saving money on shaving products with this popular treatment option. Permanent reduction of unwanted hair also provides relief from issues like chafing, sweating and incontinence.
Prior to beginning bikini laser hair removal treatments, it’s advisable to schedule an initial consultation and patch test in order to feel more at ease and gain an accurate picture of what to expect.
What is the procedure?
Women looking to reduce hair in their bikini area may opt for laser hair removal as a safe, permanent solution. Unlike traditional shaving which leaves stubble, laser removes all follicles from your area for silky skin with long-term results! While results may take some time to appear after completion of treatments, once complete you can enjoy hair-free days without the constant worry about stubble growth!
At your consultation appointment we will conduct a skin patch test to make sure your skin is suitable for treatment, discuss how many sessions will be needed, timeline and any potential issues or questions or concerns that might arise as a result of these treatments.
Prior to your first session, it is recommended that you refrain from shaving and plucking in the area to allow the laser to target follicles effectively. In addition, tanning should be stopped so hair follicles may remain at natural levels of melanin for safe treatment.
Your technician will use a special device to gently glide over your skin, with minimal pain comparable to waxing. For those with sensitive skin, their technician can apply numbing creams or cooling methods as needed for maximum comfort.
After your treatment is complete, you can return to normal daily activities, such as swimming and sunbathing. Although treatments will still need to be scheduled periodically for ongoing maintenance purposes, the frequency will likely be far less frequent compared with alternative hair removal techniques like waxing and shaving.

How long will it take?
Laser hair removal is a safe and permanent way to get rid of unwanted pubic hair. This procedure can be used on nearly all parts of the body except facial features such as face, ears and eyebrows; however some skin tones and types don’t respond as well to it; speaking to a specialist may help determine if laser hair removal treatment would suit you best.
Your hair colour and skin tone will affect how many sessions are necessary to reach your desired results, typically 6-10 sessions are usually necessary for full bikini area but this could change depending on factors like heat sensitivity, genetics, hormones or any underlying health conditions such as PCOS.
The procedure takes 10-15 minutes and provides instantaneous results. A painless pulse of light energy disables hair follicles responsible for producing unwanted hair growth, producing smooth and soft surfaces on the surface of skin. After treatment, skin may feel tender but this effect will quickly dissipate.
Laser hair removal tends to work best on areas like your inner thighs and labia, where thick and coarse hairs absorb light energy from lasers, becoming disabled and gradually disappearing over time, thus eliminating unwanted growth from these regions.
Whilst some hair may remain, over time the frequency of sessions will gradually reduce to leave your skin completely free from unwanted hair. Once completed, you’ll enjoy smooth bikini lines without the hassles associated with waxing, shaving or epilators!
Extended bikini laser hair removal covers a wider area of upper thighs than its Brazilian counterpart, yet does not extend into front of nipple for greater conservative looks when wearing tighter undergarments such as thong or brazilian swimsuit. For optimal results, make an effort to schedule appointments over an entire year for best results.
How many sessions will I need?
Laser hair removal is a safe and permanent way to rid yourself of ingrown hairs and razor burn. Many who opt for bikini laser treatments find that within six to ten sessions, their bikini area becomes completely hair free – no longer needing waxing, shaving or epilators – leaving more time for leisure activities, time in the sun and travel plans.
Laser hair removal for bikini areas produces visible results that continue to improve over time, though results cannot be expected to remain permanent as hair will eventually grow back – so regular touch up sessions should be scheduled as insurance against potential future regrowth.
Schedule sessions every four weeks or every month and a half for optimal results and to maintain smooth skin. This also allows your body to rest between sessions to prevent overstimulating hair follicles.
Prior to your first session, a patch test should be carried out to make sure your skin is suitable for laser therapy. Your practitioner will then customize a treatment plan tailored specifically for you based on your skin type and specific needs – for instance if your complexion is darker an Nd:Yag laser may be appropriate as it only delivers heat directly into the melanin without harming surrounding tissues.
Providing that the area between sessions hasn’t been shaved regularly, the hair growth will become too long for laser therapy to target efficiently. Also, plucked or waxed areas will pull out hair at its roots and stop laser targeting them as effectively.
Women looking to have no front hair remain are best served with a Brazilian wax. This fuller coverage of the bikini line includes both the landing strip (landing area) and front labia, though if desired it’s possible to leave some small amounts of growth visible here too. Most clients choose however for it all to be completely bared here.
What will happen during the procedure?
Laser hair removal is an efficient and non-invasive solution for permanently eliminating bikini area hair. It offers an alternative to waxing that may be uncomfortable and even painful – most women find laser hair removal more bearable than getting their bikini wax done!
Light energy is employed in this treatment to target pigment and destroy hair follicles. Light energy heats melanin in your hair to deactivate its follicle and stop its further development; laser targeting blood supply to the follicle also acts to stop additional hair growth from taking place. This process should continue over multiple sessions to ensure all follicles have been cleared of their hairs.
Before your laser session, it’s recommended that you forgoing plucking or waxing for at least six weeks in order to properly target the anagen phase of the follicles being targeted by the laser. Shaving is then recommended to reduce side effects like skin redness and bumps.
As part of your procedure, a topical anesthetic will be administered to reduce any discomfort. Your laser technician will then use their machine to guide the laser over the desired area in your pubic region for treatment. It is crucial that you follow their instructions closely in order to achieve maximum results and comfort levels.
Once your full course of laser treatments have been completed, the growth in the area should reduce significantly. However, keep in mind that your body may still produce hair in certain areas like labia and bum areas and regular maintenance may be needed in order to maintain results.
Laser hair removal for men’s pubic areas may be less common since most don’t wear bikinis in public; however, laser hair removal could help them feel more confident with their appearance by getting laser treatment done on their bikini line.
