Laser hair removal can be an effective method to eliminate unwanted hair, but multiple sessions will likely be required in order for your body to repair damaged follicles and prevent new growth from reoccurring.
Many individuals worry that Brazilian laser hair removal treatments will cause pain. Luckily, however, discomfort associated with laser treatment is typically lower than waxing or plucking.
How Do Laser Hair Removal Treatments Feel?
Laser hair removal can be an efficient and painless solution to unwanted bikini area hair growth. Before choosing it as a permanent solution to your problems, however, it’s essential that you understand what to expect from this treatment. Although shaven and waxed options exist for hair removal, their effects tend to be temporary while leaving skin vulnerable and uncomfortable compared to laser treatments which provide long-term flawless results without discomfort associated with other methods of removal like shaving and waxing.
Initial laser hair removal sessions may cause you some discomfort; however, as your body adjusts to treatment and you move through all the treatments scheduled for you. Your therapist may apply numbing cream based on your sensitivity or skin type to ease any potential discomfort during treatments.
Your technician may offer tips to reduce discomfort during a Brazilian laser treatment by following their advice. He or she may recommend that you avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds in the days leading up to your appointment and stay away from sunless tanning products as these can be irritating. They might also advise gently exfoliating with loofah before and after each treatment session.
Swelling of the treatment area should also be anticipated after your first session, though this is just part of the healing process and shouldn’t be picked at as this could lead to bleeding or scabbing. By keeping the area moisturized and not picking at it directly, moisturization will help prevent this and allow any crusting to fall away naturally.
Though initial discomfort should not be underestimated, the end result of having a permanently hair-free groin area more than makes up for any initial difficulties! You’ll save yourself years of frustration from constantly shaving or waxing this sensitive area – as well as dealing with ingrown hairs or blocked pores!
How Long Does It Take to Get Rid of Unwanted Hair?
Laser hair removal treatments take multiple sessions to effectively clear away unwanted genital area hair. This is due to dense and thick growth which requires high-density settings on the laser treatment to reach all follicles at once. After multiple treatments, your hair will grow back thinner and less dense and no longer need shave, wax, or pluck. Furthermore, ingrown hairs become much less of an issue after going through Brazilian laser hair removal treatment.
Laser hair removal technicians use handheld devices to move laser light through your pubic area and down along each hair follicle, killing them off and stopping their ability to produce new hair growth. You may experience some slight discomfort during treatment; however, using numbing cream or an ice pack may help ease it.
Before your first laser hair removal session, it is necessary to shave the area being treated. Extra hairs can block laser energy and cause burnt or painful skin conditions. Shaving also removes surface skin layers which allow laser energy to reach into hair follicles more efficiently and destroy them more quickly. You should avoid any skin care products which darken skin to maximize results and ensure optimal outcomes.
After your laser hair removal sessions, you will notice that your pubic hair is much thinner and shorter. Depending on your individual skin type and color, 6-12 sessions should be sufficient to significantly decrease the number of hairs in your treatment area.
Women may find laser hair removal treatment life changing as they no longer need to deal with unwanted hair in their genital area. While some individuals might experience pain from this procedure, most can experience an enjoyable and comfortable laser hair removal journey. When considering laser hair removal treatments be sure to consult a reputable and licensed clinic first.
How Long After Your First Treatment Will You Feel Discomfort?
As soon as your treatment is over, you may experience redness and swelling around the area treated. This is completely normal and should resolve with continued application of soothing aloe vera gel. Depending on your skin type, however, you could experience itching shortly thereafter.
Experienced laser hair removal clients report that as their sessions continue, their sessions become less painful. We often hear reports from our clients that describe a session as feeling similar to a slight pinch or warm pulses; to further reduce discomfort you can also use numbing cream during their Brazilian laser hair removal session.
Before scheduling your first laser hair removal appointment, it’s essential that you follow all of your technician’s pre-treatment instructions. This means avoiding plucking and waxing for around six weeks prior to scheduling an appointment in order to allow hair follicles time to recover before being targeted by laser energy. In addition, shaving the area gently with a fresh razor before arriving is recommended because any extra hairs could divert laser energy in an incorrect direction, leading to burning or itching sensations during treatment.
After your laser hair removal appointment, it is best to avoid hot showers and saunas so your skin has time to recuperate. An SPF 30 sunscreen should also be applied over the treated area as added protection. Your hair should shed over the next several weeks naturally; to hasten the process along further if necessary you can also lightly shave the area using an electric razor.
Laser hair removal treatments typically take multiple appointments before significantly reducing or even eliminating most unwanted hair. This is because each hair follicle is at different stages in its growth cycle; thus requiring between six and 12 laser sessions to target each follicle simultaneously and prevent it from producing new hair growth.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution to permanently reduce unwanted pubic area hair, unlike waxing or shaving which can often cause painful ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal offers the promise of pain-free shaving results while simultaneously giving you silky-smooth skin!
How Can I Prevent Discomfort?
Laser treatments vary depending on individual factors like hair color, skin tone and pain threshold; however, steps can be taken to alleviate any discomfort during or post laser hair removal treatment.
Start by finding a clinic equipped with advanced laser technology. Clinics like Ink Doubt Denver’s Elite MPX laser offers cooling system to keep the skin cool during treatment, keeping pain at bay.
Communicate with your technician beforehand about what steps can help prepare for your treatment session. They may suggest applying topical numbing cream directly onto the area prior to beginning, and taking an hour before your appointment acetaminophen (Tylenol) can also reduce pain levels significantly. Avoid over-the-counter or prescription painkillers that contain NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Alieve as these could thin blood and increase your risk of bruising and bleeding during procedures.
Ice therapy can also help ease discomfort after your appointment by numbing the skin and decreasing post-treatment swelling. Bear in mind, though, that using too much ice could be dangerously cold on your skin; use sparingly.
Between laser sessions, it’s best to refrain from shaving or waxing the area in question in order to reduce hair follicle stimulation and make treatment more effective. If necessary, use only razors with disposable blades in order to dispose of them after every use.
Be careful when scheduling laser hair removal treatments around or during menstruation as hormonal fluctuations can alter pain tolerance and make treatments more uncomfortable than expected.
After several laser hair removal sessions, you’ll notice that unwanted hair has thinned significantly and become lighter than before. No longer do you need to shave, pluck, or wax it to maintain smooth and beautiful skin! For best results, schedule maintenance laser hair removal sessions every four to six weeks in order to maintain them.
