So many people prefer the clean, hairless look in the bikini area. And for many, that hair-free journey originally starts with outdated hair-removal methods like shaving, waxing, or trimming. These options will temporarily address the unwanted hair, but only a few days or weeks later, you’ll be going through the process all over again.

But now there’s a better method available that provides permanent results without the side effects of shaving and waxing: laser hair removal. And it’s the perfect choice to get the smooth results you want with your bikini line.  

Ideal Candidates and Considerations for Bikini Laser Hair Removal

With the popularity of laser hair removal have come tremendous advancements in technology. We’re so happy to tell potential clients at Milan that we can safely treat all skin tones, from light skin to dark skin, and nearly every hair color, the only exceptions being gray, white, light blonde/red, or peach fuzz.

That’s great news, considering the number of ways to tailor your bikini line look to your preference, including:

• Standard Bikini Laser Treatment: This focuses on hair outside the bikini line, which includes the sides and any hair visible beyond the bikini bottom.
• Full Bikini Laser Treatment: Addresses the bikini line and mons pubis area. It can also include the abdomen. It’s a sensible option for those who want bikini hair removal but can experience irritation in more sensitive areas.
• Brazilian Laser Hair Removal: Addresses all pubic hair, including the labia, between the buttocks, and perirectal region.

The Treatment Process: Comfort and Expectations

Your hair-free journey will kick off with an initial consultation with a laser hair removal professional. This is your chance to ask any questions you would like addressed before commencing treatment. 

And the consultation is also your chance to learn about the process, including helpful tips to incorporate before, during, and after treatments to keep your hair-free goals on track. You’ll also learn that, at the beginning of your hair-free journey, appointments will occur approximately every five weeks so treatment can take place during the correct hair growth cycle. 

Many clients liken laser hair removal treatment to the sensation of a rubber band snap on the skin. It’s not really painful, but to avoid any potential discomfort, air cooling technology is deployed with every pulse of the laser to keep clients comfortable.

This process helps make bikini treatments more pleasant and efficient. Many appointments can even be done over a client’s lunch break.

“Most bikini line treatments can be completed in 20 minutes,” said Milan Laser Clinical Support Nurse Anne L. “By the time the Providers complete their pre-treatment assessment, draw lines, treat the area, and do their post-treatment education, that’s a pretty accurate time frame.”

Potential Side Effects and Aftercare

We put great emphasis on the consultation so that you’ll have the proper information in hand to make your laser hair removal process pure bliss.

It sounds so simple, but easy instructions like maintaining your natural skin tone and keeping your skin free of any makeup, moisturizers, deodorant, or other topical applications prior to treatment will keep your hair-free goals on track and unwanted body hair at bay.

It’s also important to note that following the instructions of your laser hair removal professional can help avoid rare side effects like redness, swelling, and general irritation, and maintain smooth skin.

Before and After Care Tips for Bikini Laser Hair Removal

We want to help rid you for good of the razor, but in order to get the most out of your laser hair removal experience, you will need to shave prior to your appointment. This is necessary so the laser can focus on the follicle below the skin surface and not hair above the surface. Not shaving before treatment could lead to ineffective results and a lack of hair reduction, and in some cases, complications.

You can also incorporate a few helpful routines following treatment to keep your skin healthy and thriving. This includes regular moisturizing of the body area and exfoliation to help aid in the hair-shedding process.
