Overview
Bikini season is officially here and the last thing you should worry about is hair and the unsightly skin irritation, ingrown hairs, bumps, and redness that results from shaving or waxing. Bikini laser hair removal is an option that can help you look your best on the beach or by the pool.
What is bikini laser hair removal?
Bikini laser hair removal is a noninvasive technique that concentrates light through an energy source so that it is absorbed by the pigment or color within the hair follicle. This damages the follicle and can prevent regrowth of hair or cause thinning or lightening of hair.
How does bikini laser hair removal work?
Bikini laser hair removal involves the use of laser technology. The laser sends light pulses into the follicle of each hair, destroying the root so that hair can no longer grow.

How can I care for my skin after bikini laser hair removal?
Immediately after Bikini Line Laser Hair Removal, you apply a soothing gel to calm the treated area. It’s common to feel a bit of swelling or itchiness after treatment, though both sensations can be helped with the addition of gel application throughout the day.
Though it may be tempting to show off your new Bikini Line Laser Hair Removal right away, be sure to wait at least a week before exposing the treated area to the sun. Keep the area clean and free of any sunless tan or heavily scented products.
Will hair come back after bikini laser hair removal?
Bikini laser hair removal cannot be referred to as permanent, even though it is the longest lasting method of hair removal that exists today. Generally, we say that it is possible to achieve permanent hair reduction through a series of laser treatments. In most cases, patients do not see regrowth for several years. When regrowth does occur, it is usually minimal.
How to prepare for Bikini laser hair removal?
There isn’t much you need to do before laser hair removal except stop any plucking or waxing you have been doing. We need hair to be in the follicles in order for your laser treatments to be effective.
Due to the nature of laser energy, we also suggest that you schedule laser hair removal during a time you can forego the tan. It doesn’t matter if your tan comes from the sun, from tanning lamps, or from a bottle, as it will affect the efficacy of laser treatment and may require additional sessions.
Takeaway
Bikini laser hair removal includes an area of up to an inch inside the panty line to ensure that the skin remains smooth and hair-free even as the swimsuit moves with the body. A basic bikini laser can permanently remove hair that is left directly on the legs of a swimsuit or panties, possibly even on the outside.
Laser hair removal for the bikini line is very safe, highly effective and uses proven pulsed light technology to conveniently remove unwanted hair and shape other hair.
