Women typically require hair removal in multiple pubic areas. The three most frequent sites for removal are labia, bikini line and perianal areas.
Laser Hair Removal uses heat to permanently disable hair follicles. Dark hair absorbs and transmits more of this heat than lighter hues, making it easier for treatment professionals to target.
Before receiving treatment it is recommended that you refrain from plucking, waxing and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours prior to applying a numbing cream to help with pain management during your procedure.
The Bikini Line
No one denies that bikini area hair removal can be highly sensitive, yet choosing laser hair removal for this area does not need to be stressful. When compared with waxing and shaving, laser treatment causes minimal pain; its wavelength does not irritate as much thick skin in this region than other parts of your body; rather it feels like short hot pulses.
If the sensation becomes increasingly strong and intense during laser treatment, inform your technician immediately so they can adjust the settings on the machine to reduce discomfort. Bear in mind that pain will lessen over time with each subsequent session.
Labia and intimate areas should be treated with extreme care, since they contain sensitive nerve endings that need to be carefully handled in order to achieve satisfactory results. Hormonal changes may need more sessions than in other parts of the pubic region in order to reach success; as a result, numbing cream should be applied liberally on more delicate spots.
If numbing cream doesn’t sit comfortably with you, try Veet wax strips at home instead to eliminate unwanted hair quickly and painlessly from your bikini area. They’re easy to use and work in minutes!
Bikini areas should always look their best when it comes to summer or winter; having an uncluttered and defined line of hair is key. Unwanted hairs can create ingrowns which cause hyperpigmentation on the skin, but laser hair removal can help avoid complications by permanently eliminating their source and stopping future regrowth.
Shaving and waxing can be uncomfortable experiences, so to reduce discomfort prior to any hair removal sessions it is a good idea to exfoliate the area the night before your session. This will release ingrown hairs and prepare your skin for waxing while applying talcum powder may reduce irritation during this step. Alcohol and caffeine should also be avoided prior to waxing/laser treatments to maintain focus and reduce pain levels.
The Labia
The labia (pubic labia) are two lobes of your vagina that rest either side of your vulva and receive additional innervation from the genitofemoral nerve, making laser hair removal painful for some women.
Our highly experienced therapists are very sensitive and will use a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort. Prior to applying the numbing cream, your therapist will use a skin-safe pencil to divide your bikini area into quadrants – this ensures no hairs are missed during treatment! Once divided, she will begin treating each section individually using our laser machine which delivers pulses of light that target each hair and then zap them away – each pulse may feel like a slight sting but is far less painful than waxing!
Soon after you begin laser hair removal sessions, you should begin seeing results quite rapidly. Expect the hair in the top, sides and bum areas of your bikini line to begin diminishing shortly; labia and perianal areas typically take three or four sessions longer before their growth has reduced significantly. Furthermore, laser treatment isn’t suitable for all skin types so it is essential that sun exposure be limited prior to treatment along with not using chemical products in that area; additionally it is vital that any preexisting conditions or medications you’re currently taking are reported directly to your therapist before receiving laser treatment.
Once your full Brazilian or bikini laser treatment has been completed, you will enjoy completely hair-free skin in that area – along with having smooth, supple skin that makes you appear younger! And best of all: no razor needed when traveling or dealing with ingrown hairs!

The Bum
Laser hair removal is permanent, unlike shaving and waxing. While initial sessions may feel slightly uncomfortable as hairs shed from your surface skin layer, this discomfort should gradually dissipate once healing occurs and a normalized skin temperature returns.
Laser hair removal uses pulses of light similar to rubber bands snapping against the skin. Depending on your pain threshold and treatment area, certain spots will hurt more than others.
Upper lip and arm nerves tend to be especially sensitive, while face and bikini areas tend to be more delicate due to thinner skin. Your technician may apply a numbing cream prior to starting your session to help lessen any pain you might feel during it.
Hydrating prior to your laser hair removal appointment can also help alleviate discomfort by helping cells function optimally and flushing out substances that increase pain like caffeine from your system. You should always use broad spectrum sunscreen and moisturize after each laser session as well.
The Chest
The chest area tends to have thick, coarse hairs that are dark in color. As such, they’re resistant to most methods of removal such as waxing and shaving, potentially leaving irritation behind them – as well as potential razor burn or ingrown hairs if these methods fail. Laser hair removal offers long-term relief while eliminating these painful processes altogether.
Laser treatments utilize light to permanently disable hair follicles and are suitable for all skin types. A specialist can assist in choosing the most appropriate laser for you based on your unique needs and skin type. Common lasers used for hair removal are alexandrite and nd:Yag lasers; these typically work best with pale/medium skin tones due to safely delivering higher temperatures without burning it while Nd:Yag lasers target blood supply that runs to hair follicles to disable them and keep hair growing back.
At your treatment session, you will sit comfortably while an experienced technician or therapist uses laser light to permanently eliminate unwanted hairs from your body. Some providers may apply numbing cream in sensitive areas based on your pain tolerance; this usually is optional and depends on what feels comfortable for you. It feels similar to rubber bands snapping against your skin but less intense than electrolysis or waxing treatments.
For optimal results, it’s essential that you adhere to your treatment schedule. This means not shaving or using waxing or plucking products in the area for at least six weeks prior to each appointment – giving your skin time to adapt and ensure hair follicles are in their anagen, or growth phase.
Be sure to select a qualified and experienced provider registered on an authorized list; this ensures they meet certain standards in terms of training, skill and insurance. Furthermore, it’s wise to book a patch test session so you can experience what treatment feels like prior to making a commitment for future appointments.
