Laser hair removal deep bikini
Laser hair removal is an excellent alternative to traditional shaving of especially sensitive areas of hair. Sometimes in such a situation even shugaring, waxing and an electric epilator do not help. Sensitive places require careful and careful handling. Therefore, it makes sense to resort to a procedure that will avoid undesirable consequences (ingrown hairs, pustules and rashes), coarsening of their structure and permanent difficulties associated with frequent removal at home.
What it is?
Laser hair removal (deep bikini) is one of the most popular methods for removing unwanted vegetation in the intimate area - in the groin, on the buttocks and in the fold between them. The undoubted advantage of such treatment of the hairiness zone is the disappearance of vegetation for at least six months after 1 procedure, and often for several years after a full course. Here is some information to help you get an idea of laser hair removal.
- The most common is a female procedure, it is women who often resort to hair removal for various reasons - to fully comply with intimate hygiene (clean skin is easier to handle with detergents and does not store unpleasant odors). It captures the line of the base of the legs, the labia and the gluteal groove.
- This procedure has several options - classic, medium (for a certain style of underwear) and deep (the second name is "extra bikini").
- In men, the same segments are treated, only the scrotum is added.
- This definition means a one-time procedure, and its implementation in several sessions serves to obtain a long-term result. There are different design options and long-term results obtained, as well as excellent visualization of skin devoid of rudimentary vegetation.
- The main advantage is the absence of negative consequences that are inevitable when shaving or other methods of hair removal.
- Laser removal does not act on the skin, but directly on the hair follicles and on the hair structure. As a result, the destruction of the coloring pigment (melanin) contained in them occurs, the destruction of the bulb from which the hair constantly grows.
- The longest result is achieved by carrying out several procedures, but this allows for several years not to deal with the inconvenient treatment of constantly growing hair.
The variety of services offered is not only in its difference for representatives of different genders or design, which changes depending on fashion trends. There are 4 options (differentiated by the length of the light wave), different types of devices, differentiation by hair color and skin type. The length of the generated wave and the power of the apparatus used is a variable factor that is focused on the individual characteristics of the hairline.
The skill of a specialist lies not so much in the careful removal of hairs, but in the correct selection of the necessary conditions, the ability to determine the choice according to the structure of the hairs of the intimate zone, as well as the sensitivity of the skin of each client.
Pros, cons and contraindications
As with every progressive invention applied to the human body for specific purposes, laser technology has its own specific pros and cons. It can be dangerous in the wrong hands and give optimal results if it is handled by a skilled craftsman. The advantages of the method include a number of aspects.
- The effectiveness of the procedure is an invariably lasting result that allows you to get rid of the tedious procedures for gaining good visualization and a modern look for a long time.
- Lack of negative sensations, which can be especially appreciated by those who have previously resorted to an electric epilator, shugaring or electric current.
- Minimal risks of developing complications that so often appear with mechanical hair removal, and even after a chemical method, which is considered dangerous only from the point of view of skin reactions if the product is not selected correctly.
- Safety of use (specially designed devices are used for carrying out, which allow using the required length of the beam, its point orientation, excluding the possibility of damaging the skin on which hair does not grow).
The disadvantages usually include the need to complete a full course in order to get rid of the problem for a long time. Since high-tech equipment is used for hair removal, its cost can hardly be called democratic. Therefore, some clients choose cheaper methods.
Contraindications And one more circumstance - laser hair removal, especially in a sensitive intimate area, may not be done due to contraindications. These include a certain skin color and hair structure, in which a stable type of melanin interferes with total discoloration and destruction. The masters will not carry out hair removal even if a potential client has:
- diseases of the skin (damage, trauma, rashes and pustules);
- neoplasms, both general and skin, moles and age spots can become an obstacle, as a potential source of the appearance of abnormal cells;
- systemic endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus) and immune pathologies (mainly, this concerns immunodeficiency states of variable etiology).
The procedure is not recommended for women during the period of bearing a child and breastfeeding. This is due to the risk of miscarriage or stress, which can affect the quality of milk and the well-being of the baby. An obstacle to carrying out is a minor age, even in the presence of an already formed and stable hairline.
Laser types
The selection of the necessary device is in the competence of the master, enough modifications have been developed to cover almost all categories of applicants. A basic understanding of the types is necessary to understand what exactly this type of laser will be the best for a particular client.
- Alexandrite - optimal for light skin and coarse structure of dark hairs in the intimate area. The limiting depth at which destruction occurs is 4 mm. It has tangible advantages - the procedure is shorter, since a large area is treated with a single flash, there is no burn of sensitive skin. However, it does not apply to blondes and red-haired women.
- Diode way carry out the removal of a wide range of hairs, while the color of the skin does not matter. It is not possible to cover only a very light fluff. Bonuses include the need for fewer sessions and a good depth of penetration into the epidermis (up to 8 mm). There is also a minus - it does not work if a person has gray hair, but it can be used with equal success for dark and light skin.
- Ruby variant is in demand in the treatment of naturally occurring blonde hair. This is an inexpensive and common procedure. The cost is determined by the shallow depth of penetration into the dermis and the discomfort noted by some of the clients. There is also the likelihood of reddening of the dermal layer, getting minor burns, due to the need for a longer treatment.
- Neodymium - it is more often used in medicine, has a radical effect on the hair, allows for the total destruction of follicles and the destruction of melanin with the start of a thermal reaction. It can also remove gray hair, but its use in beauty salons is limited due to the need for special preparation, more sessions to achieve a full result.
The choice of the appropriate type (in terms of efficiency, cost and prolongation of the result) only partially depends on the client. The desired type is selected after evaluating the skin type and hair color in the intimate area. Usually the master has diode, alexandrite and ruby types at his disposal.
How do they do it?
Laser hair removal is carried out in 2 stages. The first is preliminary preparation, which may require the cancellation of the usual manipulations for a long time. For women who constantly pay attention to their intimate area, who are sexually active, it may be unacceptable. With the correct preparatory stage, the second stage (actually removing hair under a deep bikini) is no longer difficult and does not give any complications.
Preparation
To properly prepare and minimize potential risks, you need to abandon some manipulations and usual actions for caring for the intimate area in advance:
- cancel not only the solarium in 14 days, but also visits to beaches, swimming pools, where they sunbathe in the open sun;
- a month before the procedure, stop pulling out hair with tweezers, the use of an electric epilator and other means that are available at home for a similar purpose;
- give up cosmetic skin care products at least a day in advance, starting with cream and ending with lotion, spray and even gel for the intimate area;
- 24 hours before going to the master, shave off the hairline with a safe razor (an electric razor can cause microdamages that are unwanted during laser processing).
For some types, local anesthesia is recommended. The preparatory stage includes a discussion with the master of the optimal means for pain relief.This is a prerequisite for people with a low pain threshold or allergic reactions to certain types of anesthetics. You can also stipulate the method of application - spray, gel, in the form of a solution or injection. The psychological attitude is of no small importance, especially during the initial conduct.
Obtaining information about the principles of the laser device can also be one of the elements of preliminary preparation.
Hair removal procedure
Usually it is carried out only after a deliberate and balanced decision. Total epilation is difficult, expensive and, perhaps, it makes sense to limit yourself to the classic version. Since in its previous form, the hairline is no longer restored. This is a longer duration, a lot of necessary precautions, additional time to complete the original design, etc. Hair is removed in several main stages:
- the skin in the intimate area is treated with an anesthetic;
- after the loss of sensitivity, epilation gel is applied and the removal begins with a laser tuned to the appropriate power;
- as soon as the procedure ends, the master applies a special soothing composition (cream or lotion).
The risks are minimal, complications are rare, there is no reason to worry, especially if anesthetics are discussed in advance and do not cause allergic reactions. You may only feel a slight tingling sensation, but this is also unlikely.
The appearance of undesirable effects is possible, but only if the preliminary conditions for the preparation were not met or the master had insufficient qualifications.
How long does it take?
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the type chosen (the design decision takes a longer time), chosen by the laser master. The longest treatment is with the cheapest and most affordable ruby device. The standard time for the classic version is up to half an hour, but a total bikini requires a session for an hour or an hour and a half.
Men's hair removal always lasts longer and requires more sessions. This is due to the peculiarities of physiology and more intensive growth of the hairline. The cost of a session for men is higher, since the cover is spread over a larger area and has a coarser and harder structure, saturated color. The duration of the session also depends on the required depth of treatment of the dermal layer.
How many sessions are needed?
One session can be used for a short-term effect. Women usually need up to 7 removal procedures, men - from 7 to 12. It is not recommended to do more than 1 time per month, since the recommended interval is 30 days. Considering 6 procedures as an average rate, it can be assumed that total removal, which gives an effect for several years, will take six months. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the organism, as well as how long the effect lasts after the first procedure.
Follow-up care
The absence of side effects largely depends on the client himself. The treatment carried out by the master immediately after deep epilation is not enough. During the week, the use of anti-burn products is recommended, which can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription. It is better to apply cosmetics 3 weeks after the removal procedure, solarium and sunbathing - no earlier than 14 days, you can even wash in the shower only after a day. Avoid injuring the treated areas, so you need to forget about tweezers for plucking, a washcloth and a sponge with an abrasive surface, aggressive cosmetology products.
During this period, to prevent allergic reactions and rashes, it is advised to wear standard cut cotton underwear.
Review overview
Users always leave their feedback on cosmetic procedures, but the mention of what was painful during epilation is negligible, and even then in cases where the treatment was carried out with a medical laser. Men, being more sensitive to such options, complain more often, but this is explained by their physiological characteristics. For some of them, the first time is enough to return to traditional methods of hair removal. For women, it is important how the body looks, especially at a young age. Therefore, they bring the work they have begun to the end and the results they receive please them. Especially if all the necessary conditions are met during the period after laser hair removal.
New modifications of devices appear every year, developers improve existing technologies and discover new principles. Science does not stand still, it is developing rapidly. Surely, in the near future, there will be new devices based on different principles. But the laser, so far, confidently remains in the TOP of the methods used by both women and men.
The safety and prolongation of the procedure lead to more and more new clients of laser hair removal masters.
