Everything you need to know about Brazilian laser hair removal<\/h2>\n

How does laser hair removal work?<\/h3>\n

Laser hair removal<\/span><\/a> uses laser light to target the follicles that are responsible for the growth of hair. The goal of this technique is to selectively destroy these hair follicles to permanently prevent the hair from regrowing. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light of a specific wave-length, which is selectively absorbed by melanin, the pigment that\u2019s present in the hair follicles. As the melanin absorbs the energy from the laser, it converts that energy into heat. This heat damages the cells of the hair follicle and destroys the root of the hair, neutralizing its ability to produce new hair. As a result, the treatment progressively promotes permanent hair removal.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does a Brazilian laser hair removal treatment entail?<\/h3>\n

Unlike bikini laser hair removal, Brazilian laser hair removal eliminates hair from women\u2019s private parts in their entirety. This includes all of the hair in the pubic area, inside and outside the labia majora, from the left side of the groin to the right, as well as the intergluteal fold, all the way to the anus.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does a Brazilian laser hair removal treatment progress?<\/h3>\n

Before embarking on the treatment, you must make an appointment for an initial consultation with an esthetician who specializes in laser hair removal. During this consultation, you\u2019ll discuss your expectations, your medical history, your skin and hair type and any other relevant factors in order to come up with a custom protocol that will satisfy your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the treatment session, itself, the esthetician will clean the area to eliminate any traces of moisturizer, antiperspirant or other skincare products. She will then shave the area, if you haven\u2019t already done so, yourself. Finally, she will slowly pass the apparatus over the entire bikini area.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Brazilian laser hair removal treatment takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the treatment, your skin may be red and slightly inflamed, but these side effects will generally go away within a few hours to a few days. You can apply a healing cream or soothing cream to the area for three or four days following the treatment in order to moisturize the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many treatment sessions are necessary?<\/h3>\n

For optimal results, depending on your skin type, you will need five to eight laser hair removal sessions, as the hair grows in staggered cycles. To align with these cycles, the treatments are generally spaced out approximately every six to eight weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Brazilian laser hair removal painful?<\/h3>\n

The pain experienced during a Brazilian laser hair removal treatment varies from person to person. It depends on several different factors, including individual sensitivity, the type of laser used and the experience of the professional, among other things. However, the bikini area is a particularly sensitive part of the body because of the numerous nerve endings found there. During the treatment, you may experience a burning or tingling sensation, like tiny needles, on the skin. These unpleasant sensations are generally short-lived and quickly disappear once the treatment is over. What\u2019s more, our <\/span>hair removal device includes a cooling system. It\u2019s also possible to apply a topical anesthetic cream (5% Xylocaine) prior to the treatment in order to reduce the level of discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Brazilian laser hair removal cost?<\/h3>\n

Although the price of Brazilian laser hair removal will vary from one esthetic medicine clinic to another, you can expect to pay between $180 and $225 per session.<\/span><\/p>\n
