Function
-
This procedure uses a pulse laser to remove hair on the body. The laser disables the hair that is in the active growth cycle during the treatment. Because hair start the growth cycle at different times, many sessions, about three to four, are needed to assure all hair follicles in the area are disabled.
Significance
-
Laser hair removal is safe for the bikini area for permanent hair reduction. Given that it is a more sensitive area, laser technicians take extra care during the procedure to ensure it is precise. The treatment may be done solely on the bikini line or the entire region, which is known as a Brazilian.

Effects
-
Although the procedure is safe, you can feel some pain from the laser. The pain is typically minimal and felt briefly. There may be redness or bruising, which should go away in a few days after the procedure.
Warning
-
The color of your hair and skin need to be considered before doing the treatment. Light skin and dark-colored hair is ideal because the laser targets the color in the hair. The darker the hair, the better. A laser unfortunately cannot tell the difference between dark skin and dark hair so it can cause the color of the skin to change. This change can last for months after the treatment. Also, avoid sun exposure to the area after the treatment because it can also change skin color.
Considerations
-
Researching the treatment and finding the right technician to correctly do it can make laser hair removal safe for the bikini area.
