Laser hair removal provides long-term solutions, unlike shaving or waxing. It’s the ideal choice for anyone who desires complete freedom from unwanted body hair without even a trace remaining visible under their swimsuit or thong.
But, what exactly is the difference between Brazilian and bikini laser hair removal?
How They Work
Both laser hair removal options work by emitting laser light from the top layer of skin and travelling down into each hair follicle, where it destroys its root and stops future hair growth. Both methods offer long-term solutions for shaving, waxing, or plucking unwanted hair without shaving, waxing or plucking them manually.
Laser hair removal treatments don’t cause pain; rather, cooling gel will be applied prior to beginning that will help alleviate discomfort. Most people experience some temporary tingling or prickling during their treatments; swelling and itching are likely temporary and may be minimized by applying aloe vera after each session.
Before having bikini laser hair removal done, you will want to wait at least six weeks without plucking or waxing the area, as the laser targets hair follicles for effective results. Also avoid tanning beds and heavily-scented products in the days leading up to your appointment; and apply an ice pack if experiencing discomfort after each bikini laser hair removal session.
Brazilian laser hair removal is similar to bikini line laser hair removal, except it removes more hair in the genital area and perineal region. Some individuals choose a full Brazilian, which involves all of the pubic area being stripped clean; others opt for “landing strip” or customized Brazilian options which enable them to choose how much or little hair will remain here.
Before visiting a Brazilian laser hair removal appointment, it is necessary to shave carefully in preparation. You should begin at the top of the labia and work your way down towards your front thighs, followed by shaving around your vulva area. If reaching this area proves challenging, a mirror may help provide an even shave; be wary of applying too much pressure as this could cause irritation or ingrown hairs.
Cost
One of the primary factors when deciding between bikini and Brazilian laser hair removal treatments is budget. Treatment costs will depend on how extensive you want the area treated, the number of sessions needed and type of laser used – among other considerations.
Though both options may be less costly than waxing, permanent laser hair removal should be seen as an investment for smooth skin. While its initial price tag might seem steep, over time you will save money in terms of reduced waxing appointments and razor expenses.
Noteworthy is also that many women report minimal to no discomfort during laser hair removal, due to lasers targeting hair follicle pigment instead of muscle tissue in the area being treated. Numbing cream also helps minimize discomfort.
If you’re experiencing pain, consulting with a professional laser technician could be beneficial in alleviating it and alleviating worries. They will be able to answer all your queries while putting your mind at ease. You could even schedule a free consultation and learn more about what will cost.
Before your appointment, it is wise to protect the area from heat exposure by limiting direct sun exposure, tanning beds and sunless tanner use for at least 48 hours prior and post treatment. Furthermore, exfoliation will help clear away dead skin cells and dirt that could irritate or otherwise create discomfort during your procedure.
After treatment, it’s recommended that tight clothing and exercise be limited for several days post-procedure. You may experience temporary skin swell or reddening post-treatment that should subside over time when using soothing Aloe Vera gel. Additionally, to minimize scarring it is advisable to refrain from hot baths/showers/steam rooms/tanning beds until your skin has fully recovered.
Side Effects
But laser hair removal for Brazilian and bikini line hair removal typically has very few side effects, with redness or sensitivity in areas treated settling quickly afterwards. Our experienced practitioners make these procedures very comfortable by applying cooling gel before and during treatments to decrease pain levels; furthermore, our lasers come equipped with advanced cooling technologies designed to minimize discomfort as much as possible.
Maintaining smooth, hair-free skin requires regular maintenance treatments much like waxing or shaving; however, they should be performed far less frequently than these other forms of hair removal.
Selecting between bikini or Brazilian hair removal treatments depends entirely upon your personal tastes and the look you hope to achieve. A bikini-only procedure removes hair in an area spanning from hip line to crease of thighs (and sometimes further), leaving behind a “landing strip”.
Brazilian laser hair removal offers another solution that is effective and can cover an extensive area in your pubic region, from labia and upper thighs all the way down to your bikini line if that is your choice. In effect, making the area completely hairless.
No matter the length or method chosen, both treatments will permanently reduce the amount of hair in your pubic area. This treatment can be life-changing if you have been shaving and waxing regularly in an attempt to rid themselves of unwanted hair in this area – becoming an effective solution to stop doing this hasslesome and costly process!

Schedule Your Consultation
Before beginning any treatment, it is essential to meet with a specialist. They will put your mind at ease by answering all your questions and helping determine whether bikini or Brazilian laser hair removal would be suitable for you. In addition, medical evaluation will need to be completed along with declaring any medications taken – all steps necessary to ensure your safety and achieve the best results from the procedure.
Before embarking on Brazilian or bikini line laser hair removal treatments, it is recommended to forego waxing or plucking of the area prior to treatment in order to allow all hairs to be extracted at their roots. Furthermore, heavy scented products should also be avoided in this region and tanning beds/intense UV exposure should also be limited in advance of your session.
As part of the actual laser hair removal process, you may experience a cooling sensation as the laser light pulses penetrate your skin and destroy each targeted follicle in order to stop further hair growth in future sessions – which typically last anywhere between five minutes for small areas and up to an hour for larger ones.
Laser hair removal is less painful than traditional waxing; however, it still can be quite uncomfortable for some. Some users describe feeling something snap against their skin like rubber bands snapping against them while others experience more discomfort; the good news is that over time, pain should decrease significantly as more treatments are completed.
Brazilian or bikini laser treatments typically produce results for several months to over a year due to the fact that damaged hair follicles take time to regenerate and start producing hair again.
