Happily, nothing boosts confidence like having a bikini line free from hair. Shaving and waxing may leave the skin irritated or bumpy; laser treatment offers an ideal alternative.
At a consultation and patch test, we assess your skin type, review your medical history and discuss any concerns or needs you have.
Cost
Laser hair removal costs can vary significantly, depending on where and how much body area is covered by treatment. While smaller areas like underarms and facial regions tend to cost less, larger ones such as legs, arms and back are generally more expensive – you should expect to spend anywhere from $250-350 for Brazilian or normal V-shaped bikini laser hair removal treatments.
Laser Hair Removal is the longest-lasting way to get rid of unwanted pubic hair, eliminating the need for waxing and shaving. After only a few laser sessions hair growth begins to decrease and eventually finer and lighter hairs become easier to manage – and ingrown hair outbreaks and razor burn are reduced along with needing daily shaving sessions! In most cases, after completing a course of treatments you only require occasional top up sessions every six weeks or so in order to maintain a bikini line.
Laser technicians employ medical-grade laser machines designed specifically to safely and effectively treat bikini areas. After using a skin-safe pencil to divide up the area into quadrants for treatment, the laser machine then sends pulses of light that target individual hair follicles – similar to being flicked with a rubber band but far more tolerable than waxing pain and discomfort.
Laser hair removal does not guarantee permanent results and requires at least six to eight sessions, up to ten sessions for your bikini line to reach its completion. Because hair follicles need melanin for effective targeting and disabling by laser light, patch testing for skin type before beginning a full course of laser therapy treatment should be undertaken prior to commencing full treatments.
Time
Hair in the bikini area tends to be thick and dense, making it challenging to manage through shaving, waxing or other methods of hair removal. Shaving can cause razor burn and ingrown hairs while waxing is painful and leaves skin red for several days afterward; laser hair removal offers long-term results with minimum discomfort.
Six to ten sessions are typically required to achieve full results, although this varies based on your hair and skin color, heat sensitivity, genetics and any underlying health or hormonal issues that need treating; women suffering from PCOS may need more treatments than others.
Laser hair removal for bikini areas may seem expensive at first, but it is certainly well worth investing in. Lasers are far less costly than waxing treatments and save both time and effort by eliminating daily shaving or waxing routines.
Laser bikini line hair removal can be more comfortable than waxing; its sensation is similar to being flicked by a rubber band and takes only minutes per treatment session to permanently get rid of all unwanted hairs.
Laser hair removal can help you attain any look with minimal discomfort, from regular bikinis to Hollywood styles. A patch test should be performed prior to your first appointment in order to ensure you are suitable for treatment and get an idea of what the procedure feels like.
Area
Laser hair removal differs significantly from shaving in that it destroys hair at its source, meaning no future growth of unwanted follicles will appear. You’ll experience smooth skin in areas covered by bikini lines without hair-generating hair follicles and razor burn. Lasers offer an ideal alternative for those tired of waxing or shaving as it eliminates discomfort caused by ingrown hairs and razor burn.
Bikini area laser treatments typically cover top, side, and bottom pubic hair as well as labia, nipple, and peri anal areas; in some instances it may reach right up to abdomen and full buttock area hair. While all these areas are suitable for this technique, not all hair colors respond positively; for instance blond, red, and white strands will not respond to heat pulses from laser; darker follicles however are easily targeted by laser. For optimal results it’s best to avoid shaving or plucking prior to appointment date; tanning or using sunless tanners beforehand also.
Laser hair removal is an extremely fast and efficient treatment option that takes only 15 minutes from start to finish, including preparation and post-treatment care. While other forms of hair removal such as shaving, tweezing, or waxing may cause damage to the skin, laser hair removal leaves it looking healthier and softer; furthermore it serves as an effective and long-term way of decreasing intimate area hair growth.
Cost of laser hair removal for bikini area will depend on your hair type and skin tone, with specialist being able to give an estimate during your consultation session. Furthermore, inflation could cause price increases that should also be taken into consideration.
Style
Hair near the pubic area tends to be thick, coarse and dark in colour which makes shaving and other methods of hair removal challenging and may result in ingrown hairs and chafing of the skin. Laser hair removal offers permanent solutions, providing longer-term reduction than shaving or waxing alone.
To achieve optimal results from laser hair removal bikini treatment, it is vital that you heed any advice your specialist provides you. This may involve not shave or pluck any hair in that area for six weeks prior to an appointment or avoid tanning beds and excessive sun exposure as these could interfere with its effectiveness.
Laser hair removal may be less painful than waxing depending on your style of treatment, as waxing leaves skin red and sore with increasing pain as hair grows back in. A laser hair removal session feels similar to being flicked with a rubber band; additionally, numbing cream may further diminish its effects.
Ideal candidates for laser hair removal of the bikini area have dark hair because melanin in it absorbs light energy from laser treatment and deactivates hair follicles, while blonde, red and grey hues do not respond as successfully. Certain medical conditions or medications can prevent effective removal; your Skin, Face & Body Specialist will be able to advise accordingly.
Safety
Shaving and waxing are often used to get rid of unwanted hair in the bikini area, yet only provide temporary results and can lead to issues like ingrown hairs and shaving rash. Laser hair removal offers an effective permanent solution.
Procedure is quick and painless, taking only 10 to 15 minutes per session. We utilize numbing cream so you won’t experience any sensation from light pulses hitting your skin during treatment.
Prior to laser hair removal sessions, it is advisable to avoid shaving, plucking or waxing the treatment area for up to six weeks prior. This is because laser treatments target hair follicles directly and can be disrupted by alternative hair removal methods.
Choose a salon with experienced specialists to perform this procedure, as they will be able to advise you which parts of your body would benefit most from laser hair removal. For instance, the leg hair must be dark-coloured for laser to work; lighter hues do not contain enough melanin pigmentation that absorbs energy effectively for successful results.
Your bikini line should start showing results after only a few sessions of treatment, as hair growth on your top, sides and bum will start reducing and leaving your skin softer and more comfortable. Labia and bum hair may take longer to respond as their resilience tends to be greater; typically you will only require 2-3 touch up sessions annually to keep looking and feeling great!
