If you ask this question in Google, you’ll see that waiting 24 to 48 hours after laser hair removal treatment is the general recommendation. To be clear, that’s perfectly fine, and waiting that long is an adequate amount of time to let your skin recover.

However, we don’t necessarily adhere to those restrictions here at Milan Laser. Instead of giving specific timelines, we believe it’s important to make sure your Brazilian or Manzilian area is without any residual redness or irritation following laser hair removal treatment.

Understanding the Healing Process

At Milan Laser, we pride ourselves on putting the client experience first. That means delivering the most effective – and more importantly, safest – treatments on the market. Laser hair removal works when the concentrated heat from the laser is absorbed by the hair follicle’s melanin, destroying the follicle.

With repeated treatments, clients will soon see smooth, hair-free skin. We also give our clients helpful tips to incorporate into their hair-free journey to keep their treatment timelines and hair-free goals on track.

This includes sun safety – using sunscreen regularly and maintaining your natural skin tone – and not applying anything topical to the body area to be treated. If these tips are followed, the client’s treatment experience should be a breeze with no specific post-appointment instructions.

However, though unlikely, skin sensitivity can be experienced in the treated area, especially if it’s a more intimate area of the body like the Brazilian, bikini line, or buttocks.

If that’s the case, give yourself time to minimize discomfort and allow your body to fully feel like itself again.

Friction and Sensitivity: Potential Concerns

In our treatments, we highlight the possibility of rare side effects flaring up so you know what could happen if you engage in sexual activity the same day as your treatment.

Irritated skin and friction aren’t the best pair. And during intimate times, there is a healthy amount of friction, which means an experience meant to be enjoyed with your partner could quickly turn uncomfortable or painful.

If you’re experiencing noticeable lingering discomfort in your intimate areas following laser hair removal treatment, it’s probably smart to wait to have sex until you feel like yourself again.
