Since the dawn of man, people have been grooming their hair. Whether for comfort, fashion or personal preference, a myriad of styles have dictated what we do with both the hair on our head as well as our body hair. The bikini region is no stranger to hair grooming rituals, and Brazilian laser hair removal has become a growing trend for people who want to be completely hairless down there.
Brazilian laser hair removal takes the idea of a bikini treatment to a whole new level. Some people are content to tidy up the hair in their bikini region and just remove portions of it, as in standard bikini waxes or laser hair treatments that eliminate a small section of hair, while others prefer to have all of the hair from their pubic region removed. You may be considering Brazilian laser hair removal for any number of reasons, including personal hygiene, increased sexual sensation or simple convenience. Whatever your reason, we’ve got information that can help you know what to expect.
The Basics of Laser Hair Removal
The science behind LHR is quite revolutionary. The innovative hair removal method uses a controlled laser beam that gently penetrates your skin to reach the hair follicles below. Hair grows in stages, which means that not all of our hair is growing at the same time. Because laser hair removal can only target hair during its active growth phase, a number of sessions are necessary to achieve the desired results. Most people require 6 to 9 laser hair removal treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart in order to eliminate all of the hair from the designated area.
Before You Go Brazilian
Laser hair removal is safe and effective nearly anywhere on the body, including in the pubic region. However, this doesn’t mean you can march right into any medical spa or place with a laser beam and expect excellent results. In your quest to achieve a hairless pubic region, it’s important that you only receive laser hair removal from a licensed, experienced laser technician. They’ll have the requisite skill and training to thoroughly evaluate your skin tone and type and can adjust the laser wavelength accordingly, to help ensure you enjoy smooth, safe, excellent results.
Recent advances in laser hair removal technology have yielded an array of different laser systems so that the cosmetic treatment can be customized to meet the needs of a broad range of skin tones.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Understanding how to prepare for laser hair removal can help you obtain the best outcome. Before your laser hair removal session, there are a few things you can do to get ready. It’s important to avoid waxing or plucking the hair in your bikini region, and electrolysis should also be avoided. Each of these methods can disturb the follicle, which may interfere with LHR’s efficacy.
You’ll want to be clean-shaven, to the best of your ability, before your appointment. Plan to shave or use a depilatory cream the morning before your treatment. By having a clean-shaven treatment area, the laser will be better able to target its energy directly to the follicle beneath the skin’s surface for optimal results.
Variety Is the Spice of Life
There are a number of options when it comes to laser hair removal in the bikini area. A full Brazilian removes all the hair from your pubic region, but you may opt instead to leave a strip or triangle of hair there. Discuss your aesthetic goals with your certified laser technician, who can customize your treatment to help you get the results you want.
