After laser treatment, the affected area will appear red and swollen similar to mild sunburn, so it is important to avoid direct sunlight and apply cold gels as directed after laser therapy.
Laser treatments offer an alternative method for hair removal that involves targeting its growth cycle directly, rather than shaving or waxing alone. A series of sessions may be necessary to achieve maximum effectiveness and optimal results are best achieved through regular follow up appointments.
Getting Started
Before embarking on laser hair removal in Brazil, it is crucial that you refrain from shaving and waxing in the area, as this will affect results and cause hair regrowth to thicken more than expected. Allowing time for hair growth cycles to complete themselves before trying laser treatment works best. In addition, avoid plucking hair as this puts too much distance between the follicle and skin for it to respond appropriately with laser.
As part of your preparation for a laser aesthetician appointment, it is imperative that you bathe properly either the night before or morning of your scheduled visit in order to have a clean bikini area for treatment. Showering will open your pores and increase laser machine efficacy; wet wipes should also be brought along so they can quickly wipe down the area after each treatment session.
Additionally, in addition to taking a bath and using wipes before your appointment, exfoliation of your genital and bum areas a few days beforehand should also be performed to remove dead skin cells that will help the laser target hair follicles more accurately. It should be carried out gently as harsh scrubbing may lead to cuts which will make reaching hair follicles difficult for laser treatments.
On the day of your treatment, it is also advisable to avoid lotions or deodorant as this could impede with its efficacy. A topical numbing cream may help ease any discomfort associated with laser treatment; you can purchase this at most drugstores over-the-counter.
Avoid discomfort during laser treatment by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever shortly before your appointment. This will ease your pain while helping prevent swelling or other side effects afterward.
Typically, it takes six to twelve sessions of laser hair removal treatments in order to achieve near-permanent hair loss. This is due to hair follicles only being affected when they reach their highest point in growth; thus repeated treatments are necessary until all hair has reached the end stages of its cycle and has fallen out permanently.
Once you’ve gone through 6-12 sessions of laser hair removal, you will enjoy smooth and silky skin for weeks without painful hair removal methods like waxing. Over time, laser treatment can save both money and time since waxing will require less frequent sessions; additionally it’s quicker and more precise.

Preparation
If you’re seeking permanent hair removal in intimate areas, laser treatments could be just what’s needed to meet your goals. While the procedure can be uncomfortable at times, it typically causes less pain than waxing or shaving and takes much less time compared to these methods. But there are certain steps that must be taken for maximum efficiency during Brazilian laser hair removal sessions.
Avoid all other methods of hair removal before your appointment if possible – including tweezing, threading, and plucking. Laser treatments work by disabling pigment in hair follicles so no new hair grows, thus any technique which removes roots could alter results.
Keep in mind that sun exposure can have an adverse effect on laser treatments for your skin. Limit tanning before your session as having too much pigment on the surface makes laser treatments ineffective. Protect your skin with sunscreen in the days prior to your appointment for added peace of mind.
Before your session begins, you must shave the area that will be treated. Use a sharp razor and apply plenty of shaving cream or gel in order to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs. Be extra cautious around labia; if you don’t feel confident enough shaving it on your own, ask someone for assistance from another friend.
As part of your laser hair removal treatment, it is also essential that any other forms of hair removal be put aside during this timeframe. Although it can be tempting to shave or wax again after receiving laser therapy, doing so could alter results and extend treatment sessions needed until reaching hairlessness.
Before your laser hair removal session, be sure to wear loose clothing so the technician can access your treatment area without exposing any embarrassing parts of your body. Bring along a book or music player if needed as distraction during this uncomfortable procedure; and remember that most practitioners treat multiple clients daily and have seen all kinds of situations! If feeling embarrassed is an issue for you, remember that many practitioners treat many clients each day who can relate.
Most people need between six and nine sessions to achieve their desired level of hairlessness, after which you will enjoy silky skin that no longer needs any maintenance or painful hair removal techniques. Spending money now on this investment in yourself will pay dividends later when getting dressed is no longer an ordeal or stubble is no longer a worry; plus you won’t have to make frequent trips to a waxing salon!
Treatment
As opposed to waxing, which only removes hair from the surface of your skin, laser treatments penetrate deep into it to reach follicles, heat them up, and destroy them – hence why multiple sessions are required in order to achieve results and gradually see less hair grow back over time. Treatment frequency depends on both your sensitivity level as well as whether or not your body requires additional sessions in order to be completely free from unwanted hair growth.
Prior to each laser hair treatment session, it is ideal to shave the area. This will allow the laser light to target only your hair follicles and not other growth. Furthermore, sun exposure must be limited in order to reduce risks such as hyperpigmentation or scarring; when applying self-tanner only use sparingly on top layers of your skin.
Length is another factor when it comes to completing the Brazilian treatment, as longer locks need longer to be plucked out and may necessitate more sessions than shorter or pixie-length hair.
Hair color also affects how many sessions will be necessary; darker locks tend to regrow slower and require additional sessions than lighter or blond locks, so some customers may require over six sessions in order to reach their desired goals.
Expect to experience up to 20% reduction in hair growth after each laser session due to how the laser targets only anagen (active) phase hair follicles, so multiple sessions will likely be necessary in order to completely eradicate your unwanted hair growth.
Laser removal is relatively pain-free compared to waxing; most people liken it to the sensation of rubber band snapping against your skin. You might feel some slight stinging after each zap, but overall it should be much less uncomfortable than waxing! Plus, you can schedule appointments around your schedule – leaving more time for you to spend your weekends doing other things rather than fretting over pubic hair!
