Laser hair removal zone deep bikini. Contraindications, photos, price of the procedure

Epilation is used to eliminate unwanted hair from the skin by destroying the bulb or together with it. The most effective and safest is the laser method. It allows you to ensure smooth skin for a long time (6-12 months) after 4-6 sessions. This procedure is used to remove vegetation in a deep bikini area.

What is a deep bikini laser hair removal

In the bikini area, the skin is more delicate and sensitive, so not every hair removal method is suitable for hair removal. The laser procedure allows you to remove them without causing severe irritation and inflammation. Cleanliness of the skin after 1 procedure lasts from 6 months. After completing the full course – up to 7 years.

When epilating with this method, a laser is applied to the root of the hair. The specialist selects the desired beam length according to the color and thickness of the hair. The flash produced by the device affects melanin (a color pigment), which absorbs light and releases thermal energy, which leads to the destruction of the bulb and damage to the vessels of the nourishing hair.

The surrounding tissue remains intact.

After root destruction, the hair dies and falls out (the process may take 3-5 days). The place of the follicle is gradually overgrown, without the possibility of the formation of a new hair in it.

The device can only destroy active bulbs (when the hair is in the growth stage), the laser does not act on dormant or dying stage. Depending on the type of laser, the color of the hair and the tone of the skin can affect the quality of the procedure. The darker the hair and the lighter the skin, the more effective the hair removal.

Advantages and disadvantages of deep bikini laser hair removal

Laser hair removal (including a deep bikini) has both pros and cons.

Laser benefits	Disadvantages of the procedure
There is no damage to the integrity of the skin, therefore there is no risk of infection.	The quality of the procedure depends on the skill of the master and the novelty of the equipment.
You can immediately process the required area, without dividing into several procedures.	If the laser beam length and exposure time are incorrectly selected, a burn of the skin and increased pigmentation are possible.
The hair removal process takes from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the hair structure.	Complete hair removal is not possible after 1 procedure, since the laser does not destroy the bulbs in the “sleeping” state and at the stage of dying.
Pain is minimal.	Gray, blond and red hair is difficult to eliminate.
The smoothness of the skin after the procedure from 6 months for 1 session, and up to 7 years when completing the full course.	High cost of the procedure.
Ability to treat delicate and sensitive skin.	Hair that has not been removed during hair removal should not be removed by other hair removal methods for up to 1 month (you can cut or shave).
After epilation, there are no ingrown hairs.	Before and after the procedure, it is forbidden to visit the solarium and saunas for up to 7 days.

Before hair removal in the bikini area, you need to undergo an examination with a gynecologist, dermatologist and therapist to exclude infectious diseases and other contraindications.

Types of Lasers

Depending on the type of laser selected, the area of the treated area (per flash) and the requirements for hair color and skin cover change.

Types of lasers with a brief description of the action:

• alexandrite. The procedure is effective for light tone of the epidermis and dark hair. The beam destroys the bulbs located at a depth of not more than 5/32 inch. The procedure takes place in a short period of time due to the larger diameter of the treated area with a laser during a flash. More gentle on the skin;
• diode. The laser destroys the bulbs (to a depth of 10/32 inch) in hair of any shade, except for very light tones. The color of the skin does not affect the quality of the procedure. To completely eliminate vegetation, fewer sessions are required. Due to the aggressiveness of the beam, a strong reddening of the epidermis is possible after the procedure;
• neodymium. The penetration depth of the beam is 8/32 inch. For laser hair removal, this laser has low efficiency (it is more often used for tattoo removal and in the treatment of skin pigmentation). When choosing a neodymium laser, the number of sessions increases by 2-3 times when compared with an alexandrite laser. It is rarely used to remove hair in the bikini area due to the need for additional manipulations irritating the delicate skin. The laser is able to remove gray hair, as it additionally acts on the blood vessels, interrupting the hair supply with its subsequent death;
• ruby. It is not used to remove light and red hair and with a dark tone of the skin. The procedure takes a longer period of time and may be accompanied by tangible discomfort. The beam can destroy bulbs to a depth of 4/32 inch, with a deeper location, the laser is not effective. Epilation with a ruby laser has a low cost.

The choice of a laser is made by a cosmetologist after assessing the condition of the skin, determining the depth of the location of the bulbs, and also after determining the skin tone and hair color.

Types of Laser Bikini Hair Removal

Laser hair removal (deep, medium and total bikinis have a lot in common) according to the type and depth of processing is chosen at the request of the client.

Classic

In the classic (medium) version, it involves the removal of hair along the edge line of underwear. On average, vegetation is removed 1’2 inch deep into the pubis and 0’8 inch on the inner side of the thighs. It is possible to adjust the zone according to individual wishes (according to a swimsuit or the desired style of panties). The procedure takes 20-30 minutes.

Deep

With deep processing, hair is removed from the entire inner surface of the thigh, on the pubis and labia (outside). Vegetation is also eliminated in the buttocks and in the crease between them. If the client wishes, the master can leave a small strip of hair in the pubic area and on the labia.

The procedure to remove vegetation in the required areas takes at least 40 minutes. If desired, hair removal can be done in several sessions. It is recommended to use anesthetics, as the procedure is accompanied by painful sensations.

Total

With total hair removal, complete hair removal is performed in the intimate area, including vegetati
on on the inner side of the labia and near the anus. The procedure is accompanied by pain, anesthesia is required. Duration of hair removal – at least 1 hour.

How many sessions will be required to achieve smooth skin

Laser hair removal does not allow to destroy all hair follicles in 1 session, as it affects only active follicles. After the procedure, hair (with a destroyed root) falls out for 3-5 days. Awakening of “sleeping” bulbs is possible in 1-6 months. The process is individual for each client, including in the deep bikini zone.

When reprocessing, inactive follicles may also remain, which can also “wake up” after 6 months.

To achieve smoothness of the skin, on average, 5-6 sessions are required (depending on the type of laser selected and the quality of the hair). Since between the procedures it is required to maintain an interval of at least 30 days, the duration of the full course takes up to 6 months. It is not recommended to do more than 12 epilations during the year.

• Eliminate the presence of contraindications. This requires examination by a dermatologist, therapist and gynecologist.
• When taking potent hormonal or antibiotics, they should be canceled 30 days before hair removal.
• For 10-14 days, sunbathing, visiting the solarium and saunas are prohibited.
• A month before the procedure, do not use other methods of hair removal. Hair removal using a razor.
• The length of hair on the treated area should be optimal for a quality procedure (negotiated with the master and depends on the type of laser).
• With a tendency to develop herpes or thrush, put candles before hair removal for preventive purposes.
• Do not use aggressive ointments and detergents 3 days before hair removal, as they can enter into a chemical reaction with an anesthetic.
• To exclude the presence of menstruation during the procedure, since during this period the intimate zone becomes more sensitive to pain, and overall health worsens.
• Applying an anesthetic external agent before the procedure. Before choosing, you should consider contraindications to the drug, the time of application before the procedure and the duration of the composition.
• Washing of intimate places before the procedure using baby or antibacterial soap.

If a negative reaction is likely to develop, it is recommended that you initially choose the classic version of hair removal. In the absence of side effects, you can deepen the treatment area.

Do I need pain relief

In the classic version, anesthesia is required with increased sensitivity of the skin. For deep and total hair removal, the use of anesthetics for external use is recommended.

Before using these drugs, it is necessary to conduct a reaction to sensitivity to the components in order to avoid the development of an allergic reaction during and after the procedure.

Recommended ointments for hair removal:

• Emla
• AneStop;
• Sustainin;
• Depilflax;
• Super Numb.

These drugs eliminate the pain symptom for a long time, additionally eliminate the likelihood of inflammation, swelling and have a disinfecting effect.

Optimal hair length

The length of hair on the treated area depends on the type of laser selected. If the hair is too long, the power of the beam will be absorbed by the hair itself, the destruction of the bulb will not occur. But the likelihood of getting a burn will increase. If the hair is too short, the beam may not see the hair.

Hair parameters by laser type:

• diode and neodymium. Hair must be removed using a razor before the procedure;
• alexandrite and ruby. The hair length should be 4/32 – 6/32 inch.

A more accurate length of the vegetation must be clarified by a specialist in the salon. Since the parameters may vary from the novelty of the equipment.
