Laser hair removal in intimate areas can be embarrassing. But this method offers an efficient solution to getting smooth skin without shaving or waxing!
Preparing your skin properly before bikini line laser hair removal is key to achieving maximum effectiveness, including avoiding self-tanners, sun exposure and exfoliating.
Avoid waxing or plucking the area
If you’re tired of shaving or waxing your bikini line regularly, laser hair removal could be the ideal solution for you. Safe and effective laser hair removal treatments provide a smooth and even appearance year round, giving your bikini area an all-year round smoothness that you don’t have to maintain with razors or cream. To get optimal results from your treatments it’s essential that the area be thoroughly prepared prior to receiving treatments; here are some tips that can help make this easier:
Plumping or waxing the area before laser treatments should be avoided as this may lead to ingrown hairs and scarring. Instead, shaving the day of or day before is preferable as this helps remove dead skin cells while helping laser reach all hair follicles quickly and efficiently.
Before your treatment session, it is also wise to avoid sun exposure and tanning as this could make your skin too sensitive for laser treatment. Furthermore, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen about an hour beforehand in order to ease any discomfort during your procedure.
After your treatment, you may experience redness or swelling, which should subside within hours to days. You may also notice hair shedding and ingrowns; these should go away within one or two weeks. For optimal results, make sure that you follow any aftercare instructions given by your technician.
As a rule of thumb, we generally suggest at least four to six laser sessions to reach your desired results. Maintenance sessions may then be necessary in order to keep those results lasting as long as possible. With proper preparation and some simple precautions in place, you could enjoy hair-free, silky-smooth skin for life!
Avoid self-tanner or sunless tanners
An attractive glow may make for stunning bikini laser hair removal results, but getting one beforehand could hinder this process and reduce its efficacy. IPL and laser treatments target dark pigmentation to destroy hair follicles and prevent future growth; getting fake tanned before an appointment could disrupt this process and render treatment less effective, so it’s wise to stay clear of sunless tanninners or tanning sprays near areas to be treated.
If you decide to go the self-tanner route, be sure to give yourself at least two weeks for it to fully fade before scheduling your laser treatment so as to achieve maximum results and minimize any problems with discoloration or fading post treatment. This will ensure optimal results from laser therapy treatments without having to deal with issues related to discoloration or faded results later on.
Prior to any appointment, it is a good idea to avoid drinking alcohol or coffee as these beverages may dehydrate skin cells and heighten sensitivity. Instead, focus on drinking lots of water and herbal tea in preparation.
Before your bikini laser hair removal appointment, it’s advisable to exfoliate the area to help rid yourself of dead skin cells and prevent irritation. Be sure to use an exfoliation product suitable for treating that area.
Once your first session is over, you can look forward to a smooth and hair-free bikini line. While you may experience redness or itching immediately after treatment, these side effects typically subside within a week or two; keep in mind it takes six-10 sessions in total before unwanted hair is permanently gone from the bikini area.
Wear loose-fitting underwear
If you want to permanently eliminate all pubic hair or achieve a more minimal look, a Brazilian laser hair removal treatment could be your perfect solution. This procedure is more thorough than bikini waxing and permanently reduces hair on labia, central front area of pubic region and perianal areas.
Based on your skin type, hair color, and hormone levels, six to 12 sessions might be necessary before the area around your vulva becomes silky smooth. But by following some simple maintenance strategies for ingrown hairs between appointments, you could reduce painful treatments while simultaneously decreasing shaving costs.
One effective strategy for avoiding ingrown hairs after bikini laser hair removal sessions is wearing loose-fitting underwear that minimizes friction and lets your skin breath as it recovers after therapy. Furthermore, exfoliating before your appointment is recommended; this practice helps remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear of blockages.
Intimate areas can be sensitive, and can easily be irritated by tight underwear. Rubbing from tight underwear may result in darkening and discoloration of delicate skin in this region; however, non-invasive laser treatment may lighten and rejuvenate this area for greater confidence in yourself and your appearance.
At first, laser hair removal may seem embarrassing but professional laser specialists have likely performed this procedure many times before and it can save hours of shave time in the future. If you are worried about how uncomfortable the procedure might feel, talk to friends or read online reviews for insight into others’ experiences with it.
Wear comfortable bottoms
If you want to skip the pain-inducing waxing and shaving processes this summer, why not give bikini laser hair removal a try instead? With its quick and virtually painless procedure, bikini laser hair removal treatments offer long-term smooth skin. Plus, there’s nothing to distract you from enjoying summer fun without ingrown hairs or razor burn!
Before receiving bikini laser hair removal, it’s essential that you wear comfortable bottoms. This will prevent any discomfort around the treated area and reduce heat build-up during your session. Cotton underwear that provides breathability is best; any material such as lace may cause irritation; furthermore dark-colored clothing will lessen any redness or pigment changes that might occur during treatment.
There are various bikini laser hair removal styles, and it is important to select one that best meets your preferences. A basic bikini line treatment focuses on eliminating hair that normally shows through panties or underwear; an extended treatment covers four fingers width of skin beyond your panty line for an even smoother result.
Brazilian hair removal is another popular solution for those who seek complete hair-free pubic areas. This treatment removes all of your upper pubic area, side labia and upper thighs of hair; or alternatively you may leave behind a small strip called a Brazilian “landing strip.” Furthermore, Brazilian hair removal technique is great way to decrease butthair count or anus area hair count.
Exfoliate the area before your appointment
If you’re thinking about having laser hair removal done on your Brazilian region, it can be nerve-wracking to consider the procedure. But keep this in mind: your laser specialist has likely performed this procedure on many other patients before. No matter whether it’s bikini waxing, full Hollywood treatment or treating perianal areas (skin between bum and nipples), their job doesn’t change at all!
On your appointment day, a technician will apply ultrasound gel before using laser pulses of light to destroy hair follicles – thus preventing future growth as well as eliminating bumps, stubble, or shadows from the area.
Prior to your appointment, exfoliating is recommended in order to prevent ingrown hairs and make future removal treatments more efficient. Be careful not to overexfoliate, though; doing so could irritate and inflame the skin resulting in painful treatments and worse.
Be mindful that any body lotions or creams applied directly to the treated area for several days prior to your appointment could compromise its results and interfere with treatment results.
Before your treatment session begins, it’s also wise to discontinue use of skincare products containing glycolic or salicylic acid as these can irritate the area being treated. Also avoid pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen as these medications could increase sensitivity in this area.
