Why have bikini line laser hair removal?

The goal of anyone who chooses laser hair removal treatment is simple: eliminate unwanted hair, ingrown hairs, pimples and irritations. And permanent pubic hair removal is the ideal solution for women and men who want to permanently remove pubic hair and have a smooth and clean bikini line in all circumstances!

How does bikini line laser hair removal work?

Before each laser session, the therapist will ask you to shave your bikini line 24 hours before your appointment and not to apply any products that could irritate the area in contact with the laser, such as perfumed creams, essential oils, etc. The therapist begins by adjusting the laser settings according to your skin type and then proceeds with the hair removal. Thanks to the intense energy generated by the laser, the laser beams will target the roots from several angles in order to completely disintegrate all the hairs permanently.

The session lasts on average between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the shape of the bikini line chosen. In just a few minutes, the entire area is treated.

Is laser bikini line hair removal painful?

No, laser bikini line hair removal is not as painful compared to other traditional methods. Depending on individual sensitivity, the laser shot sensation can be described as a mild discomfort similar to the pain felt when a rubber band is snapped against the skin, sometimes accompanied by a slight warmth or tingling.

However, we can thank technological advances for making laser hair removal more comfortable and risk-free. The latest generation of lasers, like our laser Hybrid diode , are equipped with a high-performance cooling system to soothe the area and reduce the feeling of heat during treatment. Everything to make you comfortable.

Is laser therapy dangerous for the bikini line?

No, laser hair removal is not dangerous for the intimate area if the contraindications and instructions are followed. Some fear that the laser could be dangerous for the genital area (ovary, uterus), but note that the laser does not penetrate beyond the dermis. It only targets the hair pigment.

However, the only risks associated with laser treatment are minor side effects such as temporary redness and itching that disappear within a few hours of your session.

Can laser make you sterile?

There are no studies that support the claim that laser hair removal affects fertility. As mentioned in the previous section, laser beams do not penetrate the dermis and therefore do not affect the productive organs, only the hair follicles.

PS Do not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice if you wish to have a child while undergoing permanent laser hair removal treatment.

How to shave your bikini line before laser treatment?

For effective laser hair removal in the bikini line, it's important to shave the area properly and be careful not to irritate the skin or cause cuts with rough strokes. Follow the steps below for a successful shave.

  1. To begin, please shave your bikini line the day before or 48 hours before the session.
  2. If your hair is too long, trim it first with scissors or clippers.
  3. Dry shaving is strongly discouraged. Remember to wet the area thoroughly to avoid abrasions.
  4. Choose a multi-blade razor with a pivoting head so you can easily reach the contours of your pubic area.
  5. You can also use shaving gel to help the blade glide easily over the skin.
  6. Begin shaving from the top down, following the direction of hair growth, and avoid making multiple strokes. Caution: Be gentle, as we remind you that injured and irritated skin cannot be treated with a laser.
  7. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly. Do not apply any product afterward.

How many sessions for bikini line laser hair removal?

It typically takes 5 to 10 laser sessions to remove all bikini line hair. However, this can vary from person to person. During your initial consultation, your therapist will determine how many treatments you need.

At the end of the treatment, up to 95% of the hair will be destroyed and, in the majority of cases, it will never reappear. In other cases, it is recommended to schedule one to two touch-up sessions per year to deal with regrowth caused by hormonal changes – pregnancy, menopause – and thus to ensure the results of hair removal last.

As for the duration of the sessions, as previously indicated, they last between 15 and 30 minutes.

What is the time between two bikini line laser hair removal sessions?

Depending on your hair growth, the time between laser sessions is 4 to 8 weeks. It is important to space out laser sessions, as the treatment must be timed according to your hair growth cycle.

We advise you to respect the time recommended by our practitioners so as not to prolong the total duration of your treatment and thus to have results quickly.

FAQ: We answer your most frequently asked questions about permanent bikini line hair removal

1- Does the laser lighten the bikini line?

The bikini line appears lighter with each laser session. The laser attacks the hair root. The results? The hair becomes thinner and lighter with each session until it disappears completely. Blackheads, pimples, and dark spots caused by traditional shaving or waxing fade and become invisible.

2- How should I dress to get my bikini line waxed?

Typically, clinics will ask you to change into your underwear or provide you with disposable underwear. In any case, you won't need to undress completely to get your bikini line lasered. However, consider wearing loose-fitting clothing or soft fabrics to feel comfortable and avoid chafing after your session.

3- When does hair fall out after a laser session?

One to two weeks after your laser hair removal session, your hair will begin to fall out. Initially, you'll notice some regrowth that looks burned at the tips, and a few days later, it will fall out without you even realizing it.

4- What shape should I choose for laser bikini hair removal?

Depending on your aesthetic preferences, you can choose between different types of swimsuits: classic swimsuit, full swimsuit, Brazilian swimsuit or high-cut swimsuit.

5- Can I continue my permanent bikini line hair removal sessions during my period?

It's best to postpone your laser sessions until after your menstrual cycle. Your skin becomes more sensitive during this time due to hormonal changes. Therefore, for reasons of effectiveness and hygiene, avoid waxing your bikini line while you're menstruating, even with other traditional methods. However, you can still get laser hair removal on other areas of your body!

6- What to do if you experience itching after laser hair removal of the bikini line?

Moisturize your skin with an organic vegetable oil or soothing cream. Do not scratch the treated area to avoid causing inflammation or irritation. Apply a cold compress to the treated area to soothe itching and reduce the feeling of heat. If the itching persists and even becomes painful, call your clinic or therapist directly. They will be able to help you.

7- Is it normal to have pimples after laser bikini line hair removal?

Yes, you may notice a few bumps appearing around the plucked hairs, but these are often temporary. Aside from a gentle moisturizer or vegetable oil, do not apply any other chemical or perfumed products. Let your skin recover slowly and avoid sun exposure.
