Brazilian laser hair removal is an innovative, less painful alternative to waxing and shaving that permanently suppresses hair growth after 8-10 sessions of treatment.
Menstruating can make menstruation even more uncomfortable for some individuals and may increase pain levels further. Menstrual cycles also exacerbate discomfort.
1. Heat Damage
Laser light hits your pubic area, where it is absorbed and transformed into heat energy, dissolving hair follicles to stop new growth in its tracks and producing painful stinging sensations ranging in severity depending on hair colour, skin tone, pain threshold and treatment area. However, over time the sensation should decrease with each session as thinner, finer hair grows back in.
If you have sensitive skin, it may be wise to speak to your provider about using an anesthetic cream before your appointment. In addition, avoid sun exposure and fake tanning in the days leading up to Brazilian laser hair removal – this allows more heat into the genital region which could result in burns during treatment. If any burning sensations arise during your laser procedure contact your provider immediately so they can address this concern.
After receiving Brazilian laser hair removal, it’s essential to maintain proper moisture levels on your skin while taking over-the-counter pain medications if necessary. Aloe vera gel can be applied directly onto groin areas to soothe any further irritation caused by scratching and rubbing, and should scab over naturally. Continue moisturizing in order to avoid further irritation.
Laser hair removal is an efficient and safe method to permanently reduce unwanted hair. While treatment sessions may produce lasting results, multiple sessions will likely be necessary before lasting results can be seen.
After receiving treatment, your groin area may feel sore and tender for several hours afterward, but this should subside quickly. To speed healing even faster, avoid exercise for two days afterward as any movement could create friction within your groin, leading to additional heat build-up and pain. Furthermore, avoid showering or hot bathing as these activities could further irritate it.
2. Irritation
Laser hair removal can cause discomfort, though the severity varies from person to person. Your skin tone, hair density, and pain threshold all play an integral part in how painful a session feels; darker skin tones tend to experience greater levels of discomfort than those with lighter complexions. Furthermore, location also impacts how painful Brazilian treatments will be. Specifically back & face areas tend to be more sensitive than abdomen regions for Brazilian treatments; if you are experiencing too much pain during your sessions ask your technician for adjustments on settings.
Moisturizing after treatment is crucial if you experience redness or irritation from a treatment, to keep the area hydrated and reduce blistering that could otherwise occur. If your pain tolerance is low or if there are sensitive areas that need to be addressed, speak to your aesthetician about using numbing cream as part of their solution.
As soon as your laser treatment has concluded, you may experience redness, bumps and irritation in the area treated. This should last no more than several hours or days before subsiding on its own. To minimize irritation further and prevent painful burns caused by sun exposure, avoid rubbing, scratching or removing crusted skin as this exposes more fresh tissues to exposure from UV radiation resulting in further tissue exposure to heat of sun rays resulting in painful burns.
As such, it is recommended to wear loose cotton clothing after your appointment and avoid makeup or products which might rub on the area. Your skin should naturally shed its dead hairs within several weeks; to accelerate this process exfoliate three times weekly to speed up this process.
One of the main complaints people have about Brazilian hair removal treatments is pain; however, with repeated sessions your pain will subside as your hair thins out and becomes finer and thinner.

3. Redness
Experienced practitioners understandably may make you nervous, as laser hair removal often involves undressing and exposing personal areas to strangers. But know that your practitioner has performed laser hair removal on numerous clients before you.
Brazilian laser hair removal offers an alternative that’s fast, easy, and relatively painless compared to traditional waxing – thanks to advanced laser technology that targets individual follicles rather than stripping away an entire area of pubic region or bikini line.
Your skin may experience a brief but slight sensation of heat as the laser passes over it, due to it being a different form of energy than what you might experience when swatting away flies or sunburned, for which reason numbing cream may be recommended as part of the preparation for treatment.
Applying a numbing cream before any procedure can also help alleviate discomfort during and after your session. Numbing cream works by blocking nerve signals that tell your brain about needle or heat sensations being experienced in your body.
Laser hair removal treatments can also help minimize inflammation after their treatments have taken effect. You might notice your skin is red and swollen after each session; this should clear up within hours.
If your skin is especially delicate, you might wish to ask your laser technician for a lower intensity setting during treatment. Your physician can determine an acceptable level of intensity that works for both your skin type and level of pain tolerance.
Before and after treatment, it is also essential that the area being treated be shielded from direct sunlight for several weeks in order to minimize sun damage such as hyperpigmentation or dark spots caused by sun exposure. Furthermore, ensure you use a sunscreen with an SPF value higher than 30 as sunscreen alone won’t provide adequate coverage.
4. Tingling
As a beginner to Brazilian laser hair removal, your first few treatments may cause tingling; this is normal and should subside shortly after treatment. However, those with sensitive skin may experience itching and redness in the treated area after exposure to heat; these temporary effects are completely normal and should fade over time. Using cold compresses or over-the-counter painkillers may provide temporary relief from itching/redness/itching; additionally aloe vera gel may soothe any itching/redness while relieving any associated discomfort.
Some individuals experience their skin burning after Brazilian laser hair removal. This may be caused by being exposed to extreme temperatures during your procedure and for several days afterward; you can reduce this effect by keeping the area cool and moisturised after each procedure, and by avoiding hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, or tanning beds which could exacerbate it further.
After your laser hair removal appointment, it is recommended to apply a high-quality body moisturizer in the treatment area to keep skin hydrated and reduce risk of dryness and irritation, as well as to help remove crusting caused by laser hair removal. You should exfoliate this area three times every week until all crusting is gone and use exfoliators on this particular spot of skin five days post-appointment until crusting has dissipated completely.
Overall, most patients find the sensation of Brazilian laser hair removal comparable to waxing treatment; however, it typically causes less discomfort. Furthermore, laser removal is much faster and will get rid of all your unwanted hair much more efficiently than waxing ever could.
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions in order to successfully eradicate all unwanted hair and treat the hair follicles to stop future growth. You should undergo Brazilian laser hair removal sessions four to six weeks apart depending on your hair thickness and skin color; once multiple sessions have taken place, you’ll no longer need to shave, pluck or wax any additional hair; its production will stop altogether!
