Laser hair removal is a safe, efficient and painless solution to keeping pubic and anus hair free. Unlike waxing, it may only need occasional retreatment as new follicles begin to emerge or existing ones regenerate.
Painlessly, the treatment feels similar to being stung by bees or having rubber bands snap against your skin.
Procedure
Brazilian laser hair removal is an effective solution for eliminating unwanted body hair. The permanent method can remove hair from the bikini area for smoother skin with less ingrown hairs; and reduce waxing frequency. Furthermore, unlike other forms of hair removal such as waxing which may be painful for some individuals, Brazilian laser hair removal is safe for all skin tones and more comfortable than its alternative solutions.
Prior to laser treatment, it is vital that the area be exfoliated gently as rough exfoliation may cause cuts. Furthermore, shaving the treatment area before each session allows the laser to locate hair follicles accurately without burning the surface of skin. Finally, plucking or waxing in this area should also be avoided as this could disrupt hair follicles that the laser needs to target effectively.
On the day of treatment, it is advisable to wear loose clothing such as a skirt or loose pants to enable the laser technician to easily observe the area under treatment without needing to adjust your clothing. Furthermore, tight or form-fitting clothing could cause irritation following the procedure and tanning can make the skin redden and swell up, hindering its ability to target hair follicles effectively by the laser.
Before beginning laser treatment, you’ll be required to sit in a private room. A trained technician will use a handheld device equipped with laser beam technology to target your area of choice – this process could last anywhere from one to an hour as most of this time will likely be spent preparing the equipment.
Once your treatment is over, you will receive a cold compress and soothing gel to apply directly to the area treated and an instruction sheet from your technician on how to care for your skin post-treatment. While reddening and swelling may initially occur post-treatment, this should subside within several days.
Preparation
Before your Brazilian laser hair removal session, it is essential that you prepare the area by thoroughly shaving. Make sure you use a top quality razor and shaving oil. Starting from your thighs, move steadily toward your labia taking care to avoid areas where hair might be growing into the skin or anywhere where there might be pressure applied as this could cause irritation. Once complete, wipe down with a cloth soaked in warm water in order to remove both shaving oil and the cut hairs.
Before your appointment, it is recommended to avoid waxing or plucking hairs from the area for at least 12 hours in order to preserve hair follicles that will be targeted by laser. Furthermore, bathe on the morning of your appointment in order to clean out your area so it makes it easier for medical aesthetician.
Brazilian laser hair removal sessions typically last anywhere from several minutes to an hour depending on how large your treatment area is. You should expect between four and six sessions before visible results emerge, depending on various factors like hair pigment, skin type and medications being taken by you.
Before the laser treatment begins, you will receive protective eyewear to wear during your session. Your aesthetician will do a patch test to make sure you can tolerate its settings; once that has passed successfully, they will start with laser treatments which should feel similar to a cooling sensation on your skin.
After your Brazilian laser hair removal treatment, your skin may experience redness or warmth due to laser heat targeting pigment, which could potentially cause discoloration on darker skin tones. To protect yourself and stay safe in the sun, wear sunscreen and try not to expose yourself for at least several weeks after having had laser hair removal done.
Your Brazilian laser hair removal treatment results should last three to five years before additional maintenance treatments at six-week intervals are necessary to keep the area free from unwanted hair growth. Regular sessions can help preserve results.
Session
Brazilian laser hair removal sessions are fast and painless. Once wearing protective eyewear, a technician uses a gel to protect the skin while setting up your laser settings to match both your hair type and skin type. Once set, a light beam passes through the top layer of hair and heats up its pigment, dissolving its follicle and stopping future growth – this process may take anywhere from five minutes to an hour depending on its size; during which it might leave skin feeling hot or stingy afterward which is common; to help reduce discomfort apply a cooling gel and seeping into it to minimize effects.
Avoid plucking and waxing for at least six weeks prior to laser therapy treatment as this will ensure hair follicles remain undamaged for maximum effectiveness of laser light therapy. Take a shower one day prior as this will open pores more effectively allowing laser light to penetrate more easily through pores. Also try not to expose yourself directly to sunlight prior to and post-treatment as prolonged exposure could cause hyperpigmentation or burns on the skin.
Before your aesthetician visits for treatment, you should meticulously shave the area surrounding your labia to achieve maximum results and ease of treatment during sessions. Make sure you use plenty of water when shaving; don’t press too hard against delicate skin when shaving; store aloe vera gel in the fridge beforehand and apply after shaving has taken place; finally don’t forget the butt cheeks and perianal areas too!
If you want to leave some hair in the area, mark out a neat strip or triangle for your aesthetician to follow when shaving. While how much or little hair removal from the Brazilian area you require is up to you, most people require at least six sessions for optimal results; each treatment typically lasts 20-30 minutes and should be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Post-treatment care
Laser hair removal may seem permanent, but its results can sometimes be altered by hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy. If new hair grows back after treatment, schedule a touch-up session with your specialist immediately and remove it. Also important is protecting the skin from sun exposure by not tanning during these weeks prior to laser hair removal; applying broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen will help avoid sunburn and any potential complications that arise as a result of exposure.
Before scheduling a Brazilian laser hair removal appointment, it’s essential that you prepare the area properly. In particular, avoid self-tanning products in the days preceding your appointment and shave with a razor to preserve hair follicles that will be targeted during treatment.
Before your appointment, it’s recommended to shave both your bikini area and underarms with a sharp blade to avoid accidentally nicking any sensitive skin in intimate areas. You should also avoid plucking or waxing this area, which could compromise results of Brazilian laser hair removal treatments.
At your session, your laser technician will get close and personal in order to target the hair follicles. They may ask you to lie back and relax while performing a delicate yet intrusive procedure which involves touching underarms, legs and even your genital area.
As soon as your laser hair removal appointment concludes, expect redness and swelling in the treated areas for several hours afterward. To reduce these symptoms, ice can help soothe skin. Furthermore, be sure to follow your laser hair removal specialist’s post-treatment care instructions; these guidelines should help ensure a permanent hair-free look in any areas treated by laser.
Brazilian laser hair removal can provide both short-term solutions and long-term smooth looks, and may save both money and pain over time! Not only is the treatment pain-free but you’ll save on supplies for waxing or shaving altogether!
