Before that, we’d just like to make one brief clarification. At our centre, we’ve named the treatment for women “Intimate” and the one for men “Groin”, to distinguish between the two for convenience.
Hair removal from the bikini line for women and hair removal from the intimate areas for men is a far more complicated task than for other areas. This is because the skin in these areas is much more delicate and sensitive than, for example, on the legs and arms. On top of that, these areas are much harder to reach. Here are the main methods:
Hair removal in the intimate area is a sensitive issue, where the choice of method matters not only for appearance but also for comfort and skin health. Take a look at the pros and cons of the main methods:
Please also bear in mind that our laser hair removal device – medical alexandrite laser – ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure. It is the least painful option compared with all other long-term methods of bikini line hair removal.
We will summarise here the reasons why women choose laser hair removal for the bikini line, and why men opt for laser hair removal in the intimate areas.
When it comes to laser hair removal in the intimate area, you’ll find a wide range of opinions on the subject. However, all the points listed above should convince you of the many benefits of the procedure.
There are several types of bikini line hair removal that are popular with our visitors.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to remove hair from the intimate areas for men, laser hair removal is the ideal solution. This is particularly true given that, by choosing a high-quality laser centre, one can avoid the actual risks associated with the procedure. These include substandard equipment, an unskilled and unprepared team, poor hygiene and so on.
There are several other good reasons to choose laser hair removal as a method of hair removal for men’s intimate areas.
One of the oldest, most widely held and most misleading hypotheses regarding laser hair removal of the intimate areas and the bikini line is the myth that it is harmful to the reproductive organs and that women who have not given birth should not undergo the procedure. This is the place to refute it once and for all with facts.
The laser pulse reaches only to the hair follicle, which is located in the dermis. This, in turn, lies at a very shallow depth and a considerable distance from vital organs such as the ovaries. These, for their part, lie beneath the abdominal muscles, through which impossible for the beam to pass through. Once the laser beam hits the correct spot where it is aimed, it is absorbed by the melanin and converted into heat. The heat destroys only the hair follicle and does not affect none whatsoever other surrounding tissues.
For all these reasons, it is It is absolutely impossible for laser hair removal of the intimate areas and the bikini line to damage the ovaries. There is absolutely no way this could happen if you visit a reputable laser centre staffed by professionals. Furthermore, there is no way that this could lead to vaginal infections or the transmission of infectious diseases whilst strictly adhering to the rules on disinfection and sterilisation.
Another A common but unfounded myth about laser hair removal is that it can cause cancer. Hair removal lasers produce a focused beam that is absorbed only by the melanin in the hair. Furthermore, lasers have been used safely in various fields of medicine for over 50 years. Laser light that is hazardous to humans is a completely different type from that used in hair removal, rejuvenation and other aesthetic procedures.
The question of whether laser hair removal in the intimate areas is a painful procedure is one of the most common ones we encounter in our practice. It is a fact that the groin area is sensitive and the procedures are slightly more uncomfortable than those in other areas. However, an experienced specialist can help to minimise this discomfort. This is achieved by adjusting the settings, using cold air to numb the area, and carefully spreading out the treatment across the area. Everyone working at Body Aesthetics is a highly qualified medical professional and guarantees this. Furthermore, as we have already mentioned in this article, the medical alexandrite laser at our centre ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure, unlike other modern devices.
What’s more, the peace of mind that comes from seeing visible results after just the first session means that nobody decides to stop having further treatments.
The first thing you should do before starting laser hair removal on your intimate areas is to study. Find out everything you need to know about the procedure and where you’ll receive the best service. For example, you can book a detailed and completely free consultation with the expert team at Body Aesthetics. We’re confident that you’ll then be able to make the right and most informed decision for yourself.
As for preparatory steps for hair removal from the bikini line, here are a few tips:
In some cases, there may be tenderness in the area following laser hair removal on the intimate areas, but these are nothing to worry about. They should subside within a few hours of the treatment. If you experience any redness or swelling, simply soothe your skin with a moisturising product containing aloe vera.
Be sure to follow the pre-treatment recommendations set out above, which also apply to the period following the treatment. For at least two weeks before and after your session, avoid swimming pools, spas, the sun and sunbeds, and wear loose-fitting clothing.
As far as results are concerned, it all depends on the salon you choose. You will usually see results after the very first treatment. Specifically at Body Aesthetics, where we use a world-class alexandrite laser GentleLase Pro, you will need six sessions over a period of 45–60 days for the intimate area to achieve the desired, dream-like end result. In a study of a 755 nm alexandrite laser, such as the GentleLase Pro, 87.9% of the patients followed up reported that the effect had persisted for an average of 11.5 years.
After a session with us, the outer areas of the bikini line and pubic region respond very well, and in most cases six treatments are sufficient. Only a few very fine, downy hairs remain. The labia area is hormone-dependent and contains a greater number of hair follicles than the rest of the region. There is usually some residual hair there, which can be further reduced with additional sessions, but it decreases significantly after six.
