Recently, more and more girls (and men too!) prefer laser hair removal. Indeed, today it is one of the most painless and effective procedures for getting rid of unwanted body hair.
And if shaving or waxing is more or less acceptable for removing hair on the arms or legs, where the skin is rougher and there are no problems with ingrown hairs, then for intimate zones, laser hair removal is still an ideal option.
Depilation or epilation?
Let’s understand the terms. Depilation is an effect on the visible part of the hair and partially on the follicle, it has a short-term effect. Waxing, sugaring, shaving are just such procedures.
Epilation is hair removal using special devices that act directly on the hair follicle, completely destroying it. It must be said that the cessation of the activity of the hair follicle in no way affects the health of your body.
Different types of hair removal include electrolysis, photoepilation, ELOS hair removal (a combined method that includes photo and electric exposure) and laser hair removal, which will be discussed below.
Laser hair removal of bikini
Many of us have become so accustomed to a monthly visit to the beautician for waxing that we take it for granted, like going for a manicure.
But no matter how trusted and experienced your beautician is, waxing is always a kind of tape measure. Depending on the day of the menstrual cycle or the hair growth cycle, you can get a perfectly smooth bikini area, or after a couple of days you can see here and there grown hairs that the wax could not capture.
Getting smooth skin in the bikini area with shaving is almost impossible: irritation and ingrown hairs will be your almost constant companions.
But what if we say that there is a proven, modern and reliable alternative that will remove unwanted hair in the intimate area thoroughly and almost permanently?
A small percentage of clients may need 1-2 corrective treatments after a few years.
Laser hair removal in the bikini area is a guarantee of perfectly smooth skin, freshness, and let’s be frank, 100% self-confidence!
Preparing for bikini laser hair removal
While laser hair removal is a completely safe process, there are a few simple steps you need to follow to get the results you want. Our cosmetologist will tell you more about how to prepare for the procedure during the consultation. The general rules are:
- Avoid sunbathing or solarium 2 weeks before the scheduled procedure.
- Do not take tetracycline antibiotics 2 weeks before the procedure.
- Three days before the epilation session, stop using alcohol-containing products in the intimate area.
- The day before epilation, remove the hair in the bikini area with a razor.
How does laser epilation of the bikini area work?
After the consultation and history taking, you will be comfortable on the couch, wearing your sunglasses. If necessary, the cosmetologist will treat the intimate area with a special anesthetic cream.
“Deep bikini” includes pubis, labia area and gluteal crease area.
Using the new generation Lumenis LightSheer Desire laser, the cosmetologist begins the treatment of intimate areas. The laser reacts to the pigment melanin contained in the hair and hair follicle, heats up and destroys it. At the same time, the cooling system soothes the skin, making the procedure as painless and comfortable as possible.
The deep bikini laser hair removal process usually takes 30-40 minutes.
How to take care of the skin after the procedure?
After laser hair removal, you will need to adhere to the following rules:
- When redness appears, treat the pubis and labia area with a soothing cream recommended by your beautician.
- For 3 days, refuse to take a bath, visit the sauna, swim in the pool, and even more so, open water.
- For 3 days, refrain from going to the gym.
- Do not sunbathe on the beach or in the solarium for 14 days.
Following these simple instructions, after a few sessions you will become the owner of perfectly smooth, silky skin.
As practice shows, the result is noticeable after the first laser hair removal procedure, and 99% of hair is removed after 6 sessions. Depending on the characteristics of your body, 6-10 procedures will be required, which will occur with increasing intervals.
The practice of removing unwanted hair from visible areas of the female body is hundreds of years old and dates back (prepare to be amazed!) to the 4th century BC. And if Cleopatra’s contemporaries had a hard time: the hairs were removed with a thread, the procedure was very painful and had to be repeated regularly, then we were much more fortunate!
It’s unwise not to take advantage of the fruits of technological progress, especially since you and your perfectly smooth and velvety skin are only a few sessions of laser hair removal!
