Beating unwanted hair doesn’t have to mean painful waxing or constant shaving – laser treatments offer permanent solutions for unwanted hair growth.
Before commencing a course of treatment, we conduct a consultation and patch test to assess your skin type and medical history. During this appointment we will also perform an initial skin analysis.
1. It’s Safe
Laser bikini hair removal offers an effective and permanent solution to pubic hair. The procedure works by targeting individual follicles to stop them from producing new strands by damaging or killing the roots, thus stopping any future growth. While initial redness may remain, this typically subsides within a few hours following treatment.
For optimal results, it’s advisable to shave your bikini line prior to beginning laser hair removal treatment. Doing so provides your technician with a more clear picture of where your desired hair removal takes place, helping them perform safe and effective laser sessions. Furthermore, tanning or sun exposure should be limited for at least 4-6 weeks prior to your session in order to minimize risks such as hyperpigmentation or dark patches that could occur after laser hair removal treatment.
There are two primary methods of laser hair removal for the bikini area: Brazilian and bikini laser. Brazilian removes hair all the way down to your labia, including your anal area; bikini laser only targets hair visible while wearing a bikini.
Decisions on laser hair removal treatments should ultimately be left up to each individual. Bikini or Brazilian treatments provide long-term benefits that will drastically cut time and money spent on alternative hair removal methods like shaving, waxing and plucking. Your Skin, Face & Body specialist can assist in selecting an option most suited to you during a free consultation visit.
2. It’s Effective
Hair-free skin gives us all confidence, especially during swimsuit season. Traditional methods of removing unwanted body hair such as shaving and waxing may cause razor burn and ingrown hairs that detract from an unblemished and smooth appearance; but laser hair removal provides a permanent solution that removes the need for waxing or shaving altogether.
Laser treatment aims at targeting pigments within hair follicles to damage them so they no longer produce hair growth, leading to gradual hair thinning and less noticeable regrowth over time. Many women opt for permanent laser hair removal over temporary solutions like waxing and shaving.
Before receiving laser hair removal treatments, it’s essential that you avoid sunless tanning and certain medications which interfere with blood circulation. Furthermore, selecting a trained and licensed practitioner who has completed an accredited training course is highly advised; in order to assess whether you qualify as a good candidate for laser hair removal. It is also advisable to book a consultation prior to beginning laser treatment so a specialist can ascertain if you qualify as suitable candidates for laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal works best on darker-colored hair, though light-colored treatments are also possible. Blond and grey locks don’t contain enough pigment for laser to work effectively and therefore are usually unsuitable for treatment – however laser treatments are safe for all skin tones!
Bikini laser treatments will only target hair that can be seen beneath your swimsuit or underwear, whereas Brazilian lasers remove all pubic area hair including labia and anus hairs. With bikini laser treatment you won’t have to worry about stray strands peeking through under your bikini line – making maintaining an unshaven summer body even simpler than before!
3. It’s Painless
Contrary to waxing or shaving, laser hair removal targets unwanted hair at its source and stops its future regrowth. The procedure is quick and pain-free – an ideal option for anyone who doesn’t wish to deal with razor burn or ingrown hairs.
Light is converted to heat and then directed at your hair pigment, creating heat which damages and destroys the follicle preventing further growth of hair follicles – this makes the process less painful than waxing for most people.
Bikini laser treatment can be particularly successful because bikini hairs tend to be thick and coarse, making them easier to target with laser energy and absorb its full strength. While initially this may feel slightly uncomfortable, similar sensations will fade with repeated sessions.
If you are considering laser hair removal, the first step should be identifying your goals. Perhaps you want to reduce time spent shaving, or simply want smoother skin overall. Once this has been established, a professional can develop an individualized treatment plan designed specifically to meet those objectives.
As part of your preparation, it’s best to avoid shaving, plucking and waxing for six weeks prior to receiving treatment. Furthermore, any use of sunless tanning creams that discolor skin could make targeting hair follicles during treatment more challenging.
4. It’s Affordable
Bikini laser hair removal can be more cost-effective than paying for temporary methods like shaving and waxing on an ongoing basis. You could save even more by opting for a package deal or scheduling sessions during sales events when pricing may be discounted.
Before selecting the appropriate hair removal method for you, take time to understand your goals and consider your skin tone and type. Shaving can take time and lead to ingrown hairs; waxing can cause damage; while laser hair removal offers quick and long-term solutions to achieve hairless skin.
Laser treatments are more effective than shaving as they target the root of hair growth instead of simply stripping away its surface layer. You should see significant decreases in both thickness and frequency of regrowth after just one session of laser treatments.
If you are considering bikini laser treatment, be sure to conduct adequate research and select an experienced provider. Reviews online as well as referrals from friends or family who have already undergone it will ensure you receive top quality care that allows for smooth, hairless skin for life.
Be mindful that laser treatments require multiple sessions spaced six weeks apart for maximum efficacy. This is due to how lasers only target hair follicles when they are in their anagen phase, when hair grows. By adhering to this schedule, you can rest assured that you will achieve successful laser hair removal treatments.
5. It’s Fast
As summer nears, you want to ensure you look your best in bikini season. Shaving and waxing often create unsightly bumps and ingrown hairs which detract from a beach-ready appearance; but now there is another solution: laser hair removal!
Laser therapy uses light energy to target melanin pigment in your hair follicles and damage it by emitting heat, thus stopping future hair growth. Unlike waxing which may leave sensitive or irritated skin feeling vulnerable and raw afterwards, laser treatment is free from discomfort or damage to surrounding tissues.
After receiving bikini laser hair removal treatment, you may experience temporary redness or irritation that should subside within hours. Depending on your personal requirements and the type of laser device being used, a topical anesthetic may also be needed for additional pain relief.
Laser hair removal is an efficient, safe way to permanently eliminate unwanted bikini area hair. Before making the decision on which method will best meet your goals, however, it’s essential that you consider both options before selecting one over the other. For example, Brazilian laser hair removal might be the better solution if all hair in the pubic region needs to be eliminated, rather than bikini laser hair removal.
If you’re suffering from razor burn, ingrown hairs, and other discomfort associated with traditional methods of hair removal, bikini laser hair removal might be the perfect solution for you. Schedule an initial consultation at sk:n today to take the first steps towards hair-free skin. You’ll thank yourself later when no longer having to deal with stubbly stubble and painful waxing sessions are a thing of the past; plus it gives you freedom from worrying about embarrassing stray hairs when swimming, exercising or wearing shorts without worrying about embarrassing stray hairs being present!
