If shaving and waxing don’t provide you with the hairless appearance you seek, laser hair removal could be an ideal solution. Unlike other methods, lasers don’t lead to painful bumps and ingrown hairs that often occur with other methods of hair removal.
But is lasering all pubic hair safe and what is the process like?
What to Expect
Laser hair removal is the optimal method for eliminating all pubic hair. It eliminates waxing and shaving as both methods require considerable time and effort in hard-to-reach areas, with multiple sessions showing significant decrease in your pubic hair growth rate as the pulsed light system targeted the pigment in your hair to destroy follicles so they cannot grow back again.
Before scheduling a laser appointment, be sure to trim or shave any hair longer than a grain of rice to protect surface skin cells from being hit by laser light. Furthermore, avoid any self-tanning products for two weeks prior to your session.
Before your laser procedure begins, a qualified laser technician will apply topical anesthetic and cooling gel to the treatment area. You’ll lie comfortably on an ergonomic table while the laser system removes unwanted hair – it may feel similar to snapping rubber bands but won’t be painful; your technician will monitor your level of comfort throughout to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Once your treatment has concluded, your technician will apply a soothing cream to the treated area and send you on your way! However, it’s important to avoid further exposure to heat for at least the rest of the day; avoid hot showers, saunas and heating pads as much as possible as well as direct sunlight which may lead to permanent discoloration in skin.
As laser treatments work by heating up the pigment in your skin and hair, they may temporarily darken or lighten nearby tissue. Although this change should only be noticeable to patients with darker skin tones, its lasting impact could become noticeable over time if moisture remains on treated areas and they’re scratched or picked at. This discoloration should return back to its natural hue if you moisturize these areas on an ongoing basis and don’t pick at them either.
Laser hair removal may cost more upfront, but over time it becomes more cost-effective since you won’t have to make multiple salon visits or purchase expensive razors and waxing kits – not to mention no ingrown hairs or razor rash will occur!
Preparation
Women looking for relief from shaving and waxing down below will find laser hair removal a convenient and less-messful solution than conventional methods, taking less than an hour and being far safer and permanent than other alternatives like waxing or shaving.
Before your laser treatment, it is recommended that you shave the area that needs to be treated. This will help ensure that hair roots remain inside follicles for laser to work effectively. Furthermore, you should refrain from using depilatory creams in this area, as their chemicals could irritate or burn your skin after laser session.
Dress comfortably when attending laser treatments. Avoid tight clothing and swimwear that might chafe against newly-lasered skin, and refrain from tanning in the area as tanning can make skin sensitive to laser treatment. Furthermore, be sure to inform your laser technician if taking blood-thinning medications as this could alter how treatment goes ahead.
At Ideal Image Laser Solutions, the treatment will cause a mild sting and heat sensation as we insert a laser beam into your hair follicles. While this might sound intense, our trained technician will ensure you remain at ease throughout.
Once your treatment is finished, you’ll have an amazing smooth bare bottom! For optimal results, maintenance treatments should be scheduled at least every two years to maintain it and ensure hair regrowth remains less dense and thinner.

Treatment
Laser hair removal in the pubic area can be an efficient, painless solution that quickly eliminates unwanted pubic hairs. Furthermore, unlike shaving or waxing, this solution offers long-term solutions – although multiple sessions may be necessary to experience full benefits.
Laser machines use light beams that penetrate hair follicles to absorb dark pigment, converting it to heat and thus disabling their ability to grow new hair. This process is repeated for each and every hair that needs to be eliminated – though you may experience mild pain or stinging sensation when the laser hits each hair, though usually tolerable and not too uncomfortable; topical numbing cream may help ease this pain beforehand.
As you attend multiple sessions of treatment, your hair will gradually thin and finen – and in time may become completely devoid of pubic hair! As hair growth slows with age.
Before your laser treatment, it’s essential that any hair above the surface be removed as any uncut stubble could heat up and burn your skin. Furthermore, any use of sunless skin creams or self-tans could cause your hair to darken further and make it resistant to laser treatment. Finally, it’s advisable to use thick moisturizing creams such as Vaseline to keep skin supple and prevent drying out or becoming itchy.
As with any medical procedure, this treatment could leave your skin looking pink or red immediately post-procedure, much like mild sunburn, which may last several days. To protect the skin and limit any redness from spreading further, avoid direct sunlight and apply broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 as soon as possible; moisturizing after several days is also key; exfoliation will shed dead cells while helping prevent ingrown hairs from forming; should any itching or irritation develop, consult an accredited dermatologist immediately for care.
Post-Procedure Care
Laser hair removal is one of the safest and most effective solutions for permanently eliminating unwanted body hair. This procedure involves several sessions with a licensed professional to destroy hair at its source – ideal for sensitive areas like bikinis. Laser treatment tends to be less painful than waxing treatments.
Lasers use heat energy to destroy hair follicles that support dark-colored hair follicles and prevent further growth. Unfortunately, for effective laser targeting to occur during its anagen phase (growing stage), so multiple sessions may be required in order for patients to achieve the results desired.
Women may be more commonly associated with getting Brazilian waxing procedures, but men can also benefit from receiving this treatment. While male pubic hair tends to be thicker and darker, undergoing this procedure will give their lower section an overall more sleek and sleek appearance.
Process of laser hair removal can be relatively quick and discreet, although its duration largely depends on how large of an area needs treating. Some patients find the treatment comfortable while others do not tolerate the laser heat well; additionally, some experience an unpleasant odor that generally dissipates quickly.
After receiving laser treatments, it’s essential to avoid plucking or waxing the area post-treatment in order to avoid irritation and ingrown hairs. Furthermore, moisturizing will prevent dry skin and itching as the body’s natural healing processes take effect; even though initially your skin may feel flaky or dry.
Laser treatment to the private area should not be undertaken during pregnancy or nursing, nor by those suffering from genital herpes or open wounds.
Though laser hair removal may have its limitations, it remains an excellent solution for those seeking to eradicate unwanted pubic hair. Not only will you feel more confident and comfortable in yourself; you could save both time and money when compared with shaving or waxing, which may lead to razor rash and ingrown hairs.
