What is laser hair removal
Girls can choose any type of bikini area hair removal, but the most effective and painless type is laser hair removal. Experts note that laser hair removal removes hair quickly, comfortably, painlessly and for a long time.
Laser hair removal works clearly and simply – the melanin pigment contained in the hair follicle attracts and accumulates the light energy of the laser. Then it is converted into thermal energy: the follicle heats up and collapses. And in this place, hair will not grow – either for a long time, or never.
– The principle of laser hair removal is to destroy the hair follicle with the help of laser energy. The concentrated laser beam is converted into a thermal beam and heats up and destroys the hair follicle. The hairs are killed, thinned, up to 30% of the hair falls out in 10-12 days. Those that do not fall out slow down their growth. This is especially noticeable in the bikini area and armpits. Thus, after the first procedure, the effect is visible immediately, – said certified hair removal master Maria Yakovleva.
There is no need to be afraid of laser hair removal – the modern laser system affects only the hair follicles and does not damage the surrounding tissues, skin, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.
Types of laser hair removal bikini
Classic bikini. In this case, the hair is removed on the sides, along the inguinal fold and along the top line by 2-3 centimeters. The area of the labia remains unaffected.
Deep bikini. Hair is removed 3 centimeters deep from the inguinal fold.
Total bikini. Complete laser hair removal from the bikini area, including the labia area.
Advantages of bikini laser hair removal
Maria Yakovleva lists the advantages of laser hair removal of the bikini area:
- The most important plus is the maximum comfort and safety of the procedure. The device adapts to each person – by hair type, hair color and even skin phototype, and hair thickness. Girls do not need to psychologically set themselves up, decide and endure pain through force, it is enough to relax. There is no such thing as in sugaring, when your hair is pulled out;
- The duration of the session is much less than with other types of hair removal. For example, a bikini zone is completed in half an hour, a deep bikini – up to 40 minutes, a large zone, like legs completely, in an hour;
- Laser hair removal eliminates hair on any skin phototype. The laser takes any color and type of hair, except gray. It suits any hair. For example, a photoepilator does not get rid of blond and red hair, but a laser destroys both red, blond, and black hair;
- No side effects. No irritation, like after a razor, no ingrown hairs;
- The effectiveness of the procedure. Girls are ready to pay a lot of money for her, because they know that the effect will definitely be. There is a cumulative effect here. During the course, your hair grows worse and worse. And who has black thick hair, the result is visible the first time already. If you follow all the recommendations, the frequency of the procedures, you can get rid of almost 99% of the hair. This is a fairly noticeable and long-term effect. It lasts from one to six years. But it should be noted that all this depends on individual characteristics;
- You do not need to grow your hair – for example, as before shugaring.
Cons of bikini laser hair removal
The cons, although few, include:
- the possibility of the appearance of small redness, which most often disappears on its own in a day;
- the price of the procedure;
- at least ten days before the procedure and during the entire course, you can not sunbathe;
- a day or two before and after epilation, you can not go to the bath and sauna, and before the session – in a hot shower;
- to achieve the effect, several sessions are needed, because the hair grows unevenly.
Of course, laser hair removal has a number of contraindications:
- the presence of diseases – diabetes, psoriasis, epilepsy;
- individual intolerance to radiation;
- fresh tan;
- any damage to the skin in the epilation area.
How is bikini laser hair removal done?
Laser hair removal consists of several stages. Before starting the procedure, the beautician must check the bikini area, consult the client, provide recommendations for the session and find out if there are any contraindications to epilation.
Next, a special agent is applied to the skin, which provides an anesthetic effect. The client sits comfortably on the couch, puts on protective goggles to prevent damage to the fiber by the laser beam.
The master, on the other hand, sets up the necessary parameters on the equipment and begins processing the areas selected by the client, performing clear movements and immediately processing small areas of the skin. At the end of the session, the client needs to apply an anti-inflammatory cream to the skin.
Many are afraid of the procedure because of the pain and burns. Burns can really be obtained if you get to an inexperienced and unskilled beautician. Choose the master carefully, according to the reviews of friends.
Prepare
When a client signs up for a procedure, the master must explain to her in detail how to prepare for bikini or deep bikini laser hair removal.
Basic rules:
- do not sunbathe two weeks before the procedure – do not lie on the beach and do not go to the solarium;
- a few days you need to shave the bikini area. At the time of epilation, the hairs should be up to 1 millimeter in length so that the laser does not act on the hair shaft, but on the hair follicle;
- do not use creams, scrubs and other cosmetics the day before the procedure and directly on the day of the procedure;
- do not plan epilation for the period of menstruation. It’s not only unhygienic. A woman these days increases the sensitivity of the skin.
Price of the procedure
The cost of the procedure is not cheap, but effective.
On average, bikini laser hair removal costs 2500 rubles, deep – 3000 rubles, total – from 3500 rubles.
The duration of the procedure is 20-60 minutes, depending on the epilated area.
The number of necessary procedures is from 5 to 10 – everything is individual here.

Reviews of experts about laser hair removal bikini
Ksenia:
I saw the result 10 days after the first procedure, when the hair grew by a couple of mm and began to fall out. So I did 5 sessions and the result was amazing – I didn’t have a single hair in the deep bikini area! My hair is dark and the recommended number of sessions for me was 5-8.
Anastasia:
In life, I am a terrible coward and wildly afraid of pain. Once a friend pulled it out on wax – that’s all. I got by with a cream, then a razor. But tired. First I checked the laser on the legs and underarms, and then I made a bikini. Absolutely satisfied with the result. Now only the laser!
Margarita:
The gel is applied to the skin, I did not have any discomfort. After the session, of course, it is not at all clear whether there is any result. The master said that the hairs fall out in about a week. In reality, this happened in 10 days, the hair began to noticeably fall out. We can note the following result: even after shaving, there is no longer a hard bristle, the hair grows much more slowly, they become lighter and thinner. And there are far fewer of them.
