Modern cosmetology offers a variety of techniques for epilating deep bikinis, removing unwanted hair for a long time, thereby allowing a woman to choose any swimsuit and underwear.

The essence of the procedure for hair removal in a deep bikini zone

Deep bikini (hair is removed in the intimate area most often for reasons of aesthetics) – a type of Brazilian hair removal, in which unwanted vegetation is removed from the pubis, inner thighs, labia and intergluteal space.

The popularity of the procedure is due to hygienic and aesthetic reasons established in modern society. Despite the fact that the skin needs the skin to protect against infections and thermoregulation, beauty canons from ancient times have promoted the mandatory smoothness of the skin, as a symbol of the beauty and grooming of a woman.

Intimate hair removal, like any cosmetic procedure, has its pros and cons:

Depilation:

The disadvantages of the procedure:

eliminates the possibility of an unpleasant odor, which is especially true in the hot season; prevents the possibility of excessive sweating; improves the quality of sexual life, since after the procedure the sensitivity of the labia increases; gives an intimate area an aesthetic and well-groomed look

the absence of hair makes the intimate area an accessible medium for the penetration of external pollution; the hair removal procedure is often accompanied by unpleasant sensations and the appearance of irritation on the skin; after removal of the bulbs in the pubic area, ingrown hair is formed; the occurrence of microcracks and damage; hypersensitivity of the external genitalia can cause discomfort when in contact with linen.

Most often, a deep bikini becomes especially popular on the eve of and during the beach season, but cosmetologists recommend doing the procedure all the time. Frequent depilation helps to care for the intimate area, helps to get used to the skin and reduce the intensity of the pain syndrome.

Types of bikini zone hair removal

Deep bikinis (remove hair in the intimate area in the salon or on your own at home using a depilator, wax or caramel paste) is carried out by several methods that differ in the technique and duration of saving the result.

Epilator Hair Removal

Modern industry offers women to care for the intimate area with the help of a depilator. Such an electrical appliance is equipped with discs or tweezers, allowing you to remove hair with bulbs. This procedure is very painful, accompanied by subsequent skin irritation and is not recommended for people with a low pain threshold.

To reduce unpleasant sensations, many manufacturers supply depilators with special nozzles (and the creators of Philips offer an additional cold mitten in the kit).

It is better to use an electrical appliance in the first days of the monthly cycle, when the skin is more resistant to manipulation. The depilator easily copes with hair from 3/32 – 5/32 inch long. Self-removal of stiff and long vegetation is not recommended, as it can cause severe pain.

Preparation before depilation:

1. In 30 minutes Before the procedure, you should drink painkillers (Analgin, Baralgin, Ibuprofen) or lubricate the pubic area with an anesthetic gel.
2. Take a hot bath and steam out the skin for a faster procedure and reduce skin sensitivity.
3. Charge the depilator.
4. Fill the appliance reservoir with water and place it in the refrigerator.

The procedure:

1. The bikini area is drained and treated with talcum powder.
2. The depilator must be positioned at an angle of 90 degrees, and moving against hair growth, sequentially eliminate unwanted vegetation by first pulling the skin on the treated area. The bikini area should be cleaned gradually (in small areas).
3. To reduce discomfort, you can use ice cubes, a cold glove and a water compress.
4. At the end of the procedure, the dilated area is lubricated with a caring lotion.

The use of a depilator allows you to get rid of hair for up to 4 weeks.

Shugaring

Hair removal with dense sugar paste is considered one of the safest and most popular methods for depilation of a deep bikini.

Caramel mixture:

• allows you to clean the intimate area from vegetation for 2-3 weeks;
• has a natural composition and does not harm the skin;
• excludes the possibility of getting burns (since the procedure is carried out with material heated to 39,2 – 32°F);
• Helps to completely get rid of excess vegetation without leaving broken and ingrown hair.

Shugaring is carried out strictly along the line of hair growth, which prevents strong pain. Caramel paste allows you to remove unwanted vegetation with a length of 6/32 – 9/32 inch. Depilation is carried out by manual technique. Before the procedure, the cosmetologist treats the bikini area with a cleansing lotion and dries with talcum powder.

A small lump of sugar paste in 3 layers is applied to the skin against hair growth. The specialist pulls the tissue and with a sharp movement breaks off the paste, eliminating adherent hair, and then presses his hand to the depressed area, reducing the intensity of the pain.

After the procedure, the skin is lubricated with a special tonic. The duration of the session is 35-45 minutes.

At home, you can independently perform shugaring with a paste made from sugar, water, lemon and citric acid. All components are placed in a deep pan, boiled until boiling, and then simmer over low heat, with continuous stirring for 5-7 minutes. (before acquiring a mixture of a golden hue). The finished paste cools and is used for depilation.

Shugaring should not be carried out to persons suffering from:

• diabetes mellitus (because of the danger of an increase in blood sugar);
• epilepsy;
• diseases of the genitourinary system caused by infections
  and fungi.

It is necessary to refrain from the depilation procedure if:

• damage to the skin in the intimate area;
• menstrual bleeding.

Wax removal

The Brazilian technique is considered one of the popular salon procedures that allow you to remove excess vegetation from the bikini area through the use of warm or cold wax.

The waxing procedure is quite painful, accompanied by skin irritation, but allows you to clean the intimate area for up to 35 days.

Most often, waxing is carried out in the cabin. The master heats the wax, applies the product to a small area of the body and presses the fabric strip on top. After 10-15 seconds. the strip is sharply pulled off, removing hair with bulbs. At the end of the process, the skin is treated with an antiseptic and lubricated with cream or peach oil.

Duration of waxing is 35-45 minutes. After the session, irritation occurs, passing through 4-5 hours. Side effects of the Brazilian technique are quite rare and appear in the case of using very hot wax (burn) or in violation of the procedure (the appearance of ingrown hairs).

Brazilian hair removal should not be carried out for persons suffering from:

• diabetes mellitus;
• exacerbation of chronic infections;
• mental disorders;
• inflammatory processes in the genital area;
• oncological neoplasms;
• hypertension.

You should refrain from carrying out the procedure after surgery and during menstrual bleeding.

You can make Brazilian waxing yourself at home using ready-made wax or wax strips. Before home depilation, gentle pilling should be performed and the depilation area treated with talc. To reduce pain, you can use an analgesic cream or drink an anesthetic.

Chocolate Hair Removal

The latest technique, offered by a limited number of salons, is to remove hair with wax with the addition of cocoa butter.

Chocolate wax does not irritate the skin, relaxes tissues and helps to expand pores, making hair removal almost painless. The addition of cocoa butter, in addition to the cleansing effect, nourishes the cells, healing the skin tissue and preventing the appearance of irritation.

Hot Bikini Deep Chocolate Technology:

1. The master heats the chocolate wax to 122 – 158°F.
2. The bikini area is treated with lotion and talcum powder.
3. Warm wax is applied to the skin (it is impossible to burn yourself with “chocolate”). A fabric strip is placed on top.
4. Upon coming 10 sec. a strip of frozen “chocolate” comes off, removing unwanted vegetation.
5. The pre-diluted area is lubricated with a calming lotion with the addition of cocoa butter.

The smell of chocolate further relaxes the nervous system, relieves stress and fear of pain.

The procedure has virtually no side effects, but is contraindicated in individuals:

• in a febrile state;
• suffering from diabetes;
• having oncological neoplasms;
• with infectious, fungal diseases of the genitals.

Bioepilation

The oldest hair removal technique from the deep bikini zone, known since the time of the Queen of Egypt Nefertiti, involves the removal of excess vegetation with coniferous resin.

For epilation of a deep bikini, resin is used, heated to a temperature of 42,8 – 32°F. The substance is applied to the body, covered with tissue strips, pressed, and then abruptly removed from the body along with adhered hair. Bioepilation is a rather painful method, which requires anesthetization of the intimate area with anesthetic or gel containing lidocaine.

After bioepilation, irritation occurs, passing through 2-3 hours. Over the next 4 days, the skin in the intimate area should be lubricated with a moisturizing gel and drink up to 0,3 gallon of water per day.

Bioepilation should not be carried out if the client has:

• genital herpes;
• genital infections
• thrombophlebitis;
• coronary heart disease;
• neoplasms of a benign or malignant nature;
• diabetes mellitus;
• relapse of chronic diseases.

Photoepilation

The procedure is the removal of excess vegetation by broadband pulsed light (IPL). During the session, melanin absorbs UV rays, starting a thermoregulation procedure that destroys the hair follicle.

Preparation for the procedure:

1. 3 weeks before photoepilation, avoid sunlight and do not visit the solarium.
2. 2-3 days before the procedure, you need to shave your hair. The required length of vegetation should not exceed 4/32 inch.

It is better not to do photoepilation on the 4th-7th day of the menstrual cycle, since at this time the pain threshold is significantly increased.

Photoepilation:

1. Gel bikini zone treatment with lidocaine.
2. Setting up the device.
3. Processing short flashes of the bikini zone. You can remove the hair located on the pubis, in the inner thighs and in the intergluteal space. Do not carry out photoepilation on the mucous membrane. Each body section in one session is processed by the 1st flash.
4. Application of an anti-inflammatory gel on the depilated area.

After one session lasting 30 minutes, about 25% of all hair dies. The rest is damaged or is in the growth stage. To cleanse the entire intimate area should be 6-8 sessions with an interval of 25-30 days. After photoepilation for 7-10 days, redness, swelling, irritation appears on the skin.

During this period, you must:

• daily treat the epilated area with depantenol ointment;
• carry out hygienic water procedures only with hypoallergenic detergents;
• avoid exposure to sunlight;
• refrain from visiting the bath, sauna, pool.

Between sessions, you can remove the overgrown vegetation with a razor. Shugaring or waxing is strictly prohibited. Broadband pulsed light perfectly removes dark hair, but does poorly with light or red vegetation.

Photoepilation is contraindicated in:

• diabetes mellitus;
• heart and vascular diseases;
• inflammatory and infectious processes;
• the presence of intimate tattoos and piercings.

UV rays evaporate water from the skin, so
within 7 days after the session it is necessary to restore the water balance and drink at least 0,3 gallon of fluid per day. With the right procedure, complications are unlikely.

Violation of depilation technology and neglect of rehabilitation measures provokes:

• skin burns;
• increased hair growth;
• allergic reactions with itching;
• abscess inflammation of the hair follicles;
• increased pigmentation in the depilated area.

Laser hair removal

It consists in the destruction of hair by point laser radiation. The follicle, under the influence of laser beams, is very hot, which causes the hair to stop feeding and die.

In one procedure, hair removal kills 15-35% of the hair. To completely get rid of unwanted vegetation for 1-2 years, you need to conduct at least 5-6 sessions with an interval of 3-4 weeks.

Preparation for laser hair removal is:

• refusal to use alcohol lotions;
• exclusion of hair removal by shugaring or waxing.

The Brazilian bikini is accompanied by unpleasant sensations and requires the mandatory use of anesthetic ointments or gels with lidocaine. Before the procedure, the beautician cleans the intimate area, anesthetizes and sets up the device. For each client, their own frequency and power of the device are selected, selected depending on the type of skin and hair.

After laser hair removal, edema and rarefaction appear in the bikini area, disappearing after 2-3 hours. Crusts form on the site of damaged hair, falling off within a week.

To remove the unpleasant consequences, you need to lubricate the epilated area with cream with panthenol within 3 days after the procedure and for 10 days refuse:

• synthetic underwear;
• heavy physical exertion;
• visits to baths and saunas;
• swimming in the pool;
• tanning.

Laser hair removal is contraindicated in persons suffering from:

• heart and vascular diseases;
• diabetes mellitus;
• chronic skin diseases;
• folliculitis;
• varicose veins;
• infectious processes of the genitals.

Laser bikini hair removal is not performed for pregnant and lactating mothers.

Enzymatic hair removal

Thermochemical effect, during which in the follicles treated with enzymes, molecular bonds are destroyed, leading to the death of the hair.

Depilation consists of 2 stages:

• shugaring, in which the hair is removed;
• enzyme exposure.

During the procedure, the specialist applies special substances, enzymes to the depilated area and covers the skin with a thermo-regulating bandage. Heat increases the penetration of a depilatory and contributes to the destruction of the bulb.

Enzymes can only remove actively growing hair, but do not eliminate sleeping bulbs. For complete disposal of vegetation, 7-8 sessions are required, with an interval of 4 weeks.

Enzymatic depilation of a bikini is painless and does not require special skin treatment.

The procedure is contraindicated in:

• hypertension
• diabetes mellitus;
• heart and vascular diseases;
• skin infections;
• herpes;
• oncology;
• allergic reactions;
• pregnancy and lactation.

Before carrying out enzymatic depilation, you do not need to sunbathe for 10-14 days.

After a session of 7 days, you must:

• treat the skin with lotions;
• exclude a visit to the sauna, pool, bath;
• wear only loose clothing;
• Protect the treated area from tanning.

Electrolysis

A procedure to remove vegetation by an esoteric current penetrating the hair structure.

Depending on the device used, they distinguish:

• Thermolysis requiring the use of high frequency and low voltage current.
• Electrolysis consisting in the use of direct current.
• The blend method, which is a combination of thermolysis and electrolysis.
• Tweezer hair removal, in which current is passed into the hair with tweezers.

Electrolysis is a very long and painful method. The duration of the session varies from 4 to 10 hours. Before the procedure, the cosmetologist injectively anesthetizes the bikini area, and then the machine kills each hair separately and pulls it out with tweezers.

During one session, you can remove about 15% of the entire hairline of the intimate zone (in the active phase). Sleeping bulbs cannot be removed. To achieve smoothness of the skin, it is necessary to conduct from 8 to 10 sessions with an interval of 1-1.5 months.

Electrodepilation is preceded by mandatory preparation, during which:

• about 2 weeks is prohibited to sunbathe;
• a month you can not take hormonal drugs;
• need to refuse to shave hair for about 2 days.

After the procedure, the specialist treats the bikini area with Chlorhexidine.

The rehabilitation process is about 10 days, during which:

• you need to daily sanitize the depilated area and lubricate the pubis and inner thighs with a healing cream;
• Do not use the gym, bathhouse, sauna and pool;
• it is forbidden to sunbathe;
• only cotton underwear should be worn.

Electrolysis is contraindicated in persons suffering from:

• malignant and benign neoplasms;
• genital herpes;
• genital tract infections;
• cardiovascular pathologies;
• neuropsychiatric disorders;
• hypertension.

You can not carry out the procedure for pregnant and lactating mothers.

With proper conduct, the electroepilator does not leave scars and after the disappearance of edema and crusts, the skin is restored. In case of neglecting the rules of postoperative care, a purulent-inflammatory process may occur.
