Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

Brazilian hair removal is the process of removing the hair in the pubic area, and this beauty practice has become quite common in recent years. There are so many myths surrounding this beauty practice, it is actually surprising that this method is simple.

Brazilian laser hair removal is the process of using a laser to remove the pubic hair.

This method is cleaner and less hazardous than shaving, and it saves the area from possible irritation that can result from the use of depilatory creams. Brazilian laser hair removal is usually administered by a professional although there are now products available for laser hair removal at home.

Laser treatment may appear expensive at first, but if you are the type who keeps wearing a bikini, then consider this as an investment. Laser treatment requires several sessions to remove the hair fully. You can decide how much of the bikini area is hair free or indeed to go hairless which seems to be gaining in popularity.

The procedure is quite simple and certainly less painful compared to a Brazilian wax. First, a physician will use a hand-held device to remove the hair strands in the area. The light beam coming from the laser will prevent hair follicles from growing further hair. Repeated treatment will make the hair finer and lighter in color until most of the hair has permanently gone. Now when we say permanently, we do not mean forever because hair goes through various growth stages and laser treatment can only disable the hair follicle during its active growth cycle. The FDA has approved this type of treatment as permanent hair reduction.

When it comes to medical treatments, people usually ask if there are side effects. Some people may experience some numbing of the skin after the treatment. Sometimes, the treated area could swell, so avoid using any harsh products that could lead to possible irritation of the skin. However, these symptoms can normally be avoided by cooling the area to be treated by use of a localised spray or gel.

Normally four to six sessions will be required with results depending on a person’s skin type i.e. light or dark, hair type i.e. fine or course and color, age and area to be treated. Generally dark hair on fair skin will obtain the best results. A session can cost in the region of $300 but costs will vary greatly and it may be possible to pay for a treatment rather than per session. The advice would be to shop around.
