Instead of opting for frequent plucking, waxing or shaving of unwanted hair, why not consider Brazilian laser hair removal instead? It’s especially effective at eliminating hair in bikini areas and labia areas.
Your technician will apply cooling methods or numbing cream before beginning treatment, causing a series of stings and possibly the scent of smoke as your hair absorbs heat from the laser.
Reduction in hair growth
Brazilian laser hair removal can be an effective way of permanently eliminating unwanted body hair. While initial regrowth after your treatments is normal and will lessen with each session, optimal results should be seen after approximately six to eight sessions; maintenance treatments may still be necessary after this point for long-term effects.
Laser hair removal involves emitting light energy that targets pigment in hair follicles. When this energy absorbs by hair strands and destroys them, your body’s natural processes take over to eliminate dead follicles and prevent future growth. Furthermore, light energy may disrupt melanin production in follicles leading to less pigment being produced; so multiple laser hair removal sessions should be scheduled in order to achieve permanent results.
Once your first laser treatment session has taken effect, you should experience reduced hair growth one to three weeks post-session. This is because your treated area will begin shedding any anagen phase (when hair grows) hair that was in its anagen phase when you started treatment. Your technician may ask that you refrain from plucking or waxing the area, as this can compromise its effectiveness of the procedure. Furthermore, tanning or using skincare ingredients with resurfacing ingredients before your appointment can affect natural melanin levels that make up part of the skin’s melanin levels which makes for improved treatment outcomes.
After your laser treatment, the new hair that grows back will typically be finer and lighter in color than before, while results should last longer due to anagen phase hair growth being significantly slower than catagen phase growth.
Laser hair removal may cause discomfort, but usually less than other methods like waxing. Many describe its sensation as small pinching sensations or rubber band snapping against their skin; depending on your pain threshold, medication may help ease this.
After your treatments, the hair that does grow back will be lighter in color and thinner than before. Touch-up appointments might need to be scheduled every year or so to maintain desired results, but this commitment is much smaller than having to maintain time-consuming waxing or shaving schedules regularly.
Less irritation
Brazilian laser hair removal is a non-invasive, gentle procedure that eliminates hair follicles to stop their regrowth and ensure long-term results. Multiple sessions on an appropriate schedule must take place for long-term effects to occur as hair grows in cycles; lasers can only target hair follicles during their active growth phase.
Laser hair removal differs from waxing or shaving in that it uses wavelengths of light to destroy hair follicles rather than surface skin, targeting melanin in hair follicles as it does this. Lasers work best for those with dark hair and lighter skin since the contrast makes it easier for lasers to detect and target follicles more effectively – though this treatment can still work effectively on those with darker skin who have lighter or blonder locks or vice versa.
Prior to beginning laser hair removal, it’s best to avoid plucking and waxing the area as this could disrupt hair follicles. Tanning can also interfere with its effectiveness; in such instances, use skin bleaching cream in order to lighten it further.
Before your appointment, it is recommended to shave the area to remove any extra hair. Any other means such as tweezers, electrolysis or electric depilators should not be used on this area for hair removal. Furthermore, it would be beneficial if shaving could occur the day prior.
Laser hair removal treatment typically lasts an hour. Depending on the size and area being treated, some discomfort may arise during this procedure, but it’s important to remain relaxed and focussed on the task at hand – some have described this sensation as feeling similar to having rubber bands snap against skin; you might also smell smoke or see some burning hair, both of which are completely normal responses.
Avoid discomfort by applying a topical anesthetic before your appointment and wearing goggles to protect eyes from laser’s heat. Following treatment, your area might remain red, swollen and slightly painful for up to several days afterward; should any serious side effects arise you should notify a dermatologist immediately.
Smoother skin
Shaving, waxing or using mechanical methods to remove pubic area hair can result in bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burn. A Brazilian laser hair removal session offers far less trauma to the skin and longer-lasting smooth results than its competitors.
At a Brazilian laser hair removal session, a medical aesthetician uses a handheld device to deliver pulses of light energy that destroy hair follicles and prevent new growth. While heat from the laser may cause some discomfort during treatment, most find it relatively painless; taking Tylenol or an equivalent pain reliever may help alleviate discomfort during this procedure.
Preparing for Brazilian laser hair removal involves refraining from shaving or waxing the area being treated, as well as not tweezing or using an electric depilator in the weeks prior to your appointment. If shaving becomes necessary, be sure to apply shaving oil first, and always use a sharp razor; avoid shaving too close as this could irritate delicate skin.
For optimal results, regular treatments must be attended. It is suggested that sessions be scheduled every four to six weeks for optimal outcomes; however, you may need to modify this plan depending on hormone fluctuations in your body.
Based on how many sessions you receive, results should last two years or longer. When new hair begins to regrow in treated areas, it usually grows back thinner and lighter in color than before.
Once they complete a Brazilian laser hair removal course of treatment, most patients remain completely hair-free for several months or years after. When hair reappearing after treatment it often grows back at a slower rate and it usually appears finer. To maximize results and minimize risks for infection make sure the area where treatment will take place remains clean and dry throughout treatment.
Longer-lasting results
Hair follicles cycle through periods of growth, shed and regrow. With multiple Brazilian laser hair removal treatments, enough follicles are destroyed to stop future growth – and clients typically see lasting results after six or eight treatments sessions.
The initial treatment session “shocks” hair follicles by emitting heat that weakens or destroys them, and their destroyed cells gradually fall out and disappear from your body. Subsequent treatments become even more effective as your body’s hair follicles enter their final resting phase.
For optimal results, it is recommended to wait four to eight weeks between laser hair removal appointments. Furthermore, it’s wise to avoid shaving and other mechanical methods of hair removal such as waxing in between treatments as this will uproot hair follicles that interfere with laser targeting them.
Before each laser hair removal treatment, a cooling gel or numbing cream will be applied to reduce discomfort. Once in place, a technician will hover the laser treatment device over intimate areas and begin their treatments; you may experience what feels like rubber band snapping against skin while some people also smell smoke due to hair absorption by heat.
Laser hair removal is one of the safest and most effective ways to eliminate unwanted pubic hair, yet it isn’t appropriate for everyone. Laser treatments should not be done if you are sunburned or recently tanned skinned, or have certain medical conditions such as pregnancy or herpes genital herpes.
Skin color and thickness both influence the results of laser hair removal, as melanin absorbs light energy from laser treatments to damage or discolor your locks and skin. Therefore, it’s crucial that you select a salon experienced with treating different skin types with laser.
Though Brazilian laser hair removal should provide permanent results, hormonal fluctuations may still cause new hair to emerge and thus require touch-up appointments to maintain your beautiful appearance.
