Coming for a laser hair removal session can be a bit unnerving if you don’t yet know what to expect, not to mention in a more delicate area. We will go through what you need to do to prepare for a laser hair removal – Brazilian.
How to Best Prep for a Laser Hair Removal – Brazilian
There are several things you should know about a laser hair removal appointment in general The first thing we want to mention here, is to please be careful not to hurt yourself in prepping for your session as open wounds and lasers don’t go together. Here is what you should do before your Brazilian laser session:
Two weeks before. Stop plucking and waxing the entire pubic area, as we want the hair follicle to grow out so it can be targeted by the laser. Stop shaving, waxing, or using any other hair removal methods at least two weeks before the treatment. This allows the hair to grow long enough for the laser to target it. In addition, avoid any tanning (this includes self-tanning products) for six weeks onwards as we want your skin to have its natural melatonin so the laser can target the follicle and not your skin. It is best to avoid any sun or chemicals on the area. Also, avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the treatment. Sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive to the laser and increase the risk of side effects. Finally, hold off on taking any medications that make your skin more sensitive to light for at least two weeks before the treatment. These medications include certain antibiotics, antihistamines, and acne medications.
Day before. The laser needs to target the hair follicle, so we will ask you to shave the entire area the day before, so it targets the follicle and not the hair that sticks out of the skin. It is also best not to put any cream or powder on the area so it is clean and easy for the laser to target.
On the day. Ensure you clean the entire area before your session, and do not apply any lotion or skincare products still. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to the treatment. Tight clothing can irritate the skin after the treatment. While it’s understandable that you may be nervous on the day of, you can take comfort in the fact that our team will help you each step of the way so that you feel relaxed throughout the course of your appointment.
Ask questions. We can give you a proper brief and breakdown of how best to prepare for your session during a consultation with you. It is also important to ask any questions you might be uncertain about or medicine that might affect the procedure. Follow any other instructions your provider gives you to prepare for the treatment.
Think about it. Make sure you are ready for a Brazilian, or perhaps first start with the Bikini option before going full monty. The area will be a bit more sensitive to the zap of the laser than say your legs or arms, so do take that into consideration.
Once you imagine a life without worrying about waxing or shaving again, the few laser sessions will be nothing compared to the convenience and comfort you will see, not to mention the money you will be saving.
What to Expect?
One of the biggest mistakes you can make with laser hair removal is trying to do it at home. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to get the best results and minimize the risk of side effects. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to discuss them with your provider before the treatment. When you follow the preparations as per our instructions, you should see optimal results. Do keep in mind that your hair grows at different speeds, so that is why you have to come in for the number of sessions we advise, to target all the hair at the right stage in the growth cycle.
You can expect a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping on your skin, but everyone handles it differently, and your pubic area might be more sensitive. You can expect to see results after a few sessions with less hair growing back. As with the prep, it is vital to follow our aftercare advice for the best results and the least side effects after your laser hair removal – Brazilian.
