Deep bikini zone laser hair removal. Contraindications, photo, price of the procedure

Epilation is used to remove unnecessary hair from the skin by destroying the bulb or in conjunction with it. The most effective and safest method is using a laser. 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 the deep bikini area.

What is deep bikini laser hair removal?

In the bikini area, the skin is more delicate and sensitive, so not every epilation method is suitable for hair removal. The laser treatment removes them without causing severe irritation or inflammation. The cleanliness of the skin after 1 procedure is maintained from 6 months. After completing the full course - up to 7 years.

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

The surrounding tissue remains intact.

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

The device can destroy only active bulbs (when the hair is in the growth stage), the laser does not work on sleeping or at the stage of dying off. Depending on the type of laser, the quality of the procedure can be influenced by hair color and skin tone. The darker the hair and the lighter the skin, the more effective the epilation.

Advantages and disadvantages of deep bikini laser hair removal

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

Before epilation in the bikini area, it is required to undergo an examination by a gynecologist, dermatologist and therapist in order 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 the color of the hair and skin change.

Types of lasers with a brief description of the action:

• alexandrite. The procedure is effective for light skin tone and dark hair. The beam destroys the bulbs located at a depth of 4 mm. The procedure takes place in a short period of time due to the larger diameter of the laser treated area with a flash. More gentle on the skin;
• diode. The laser destroys hair follicles (up to a depth of 8 mm) in hair of any shade, except for very light tones. Skin color does not affect the quality of the procedure. Fewer sessions are required to completely eliminate vegetation. Due to the aggressiveness of the beam, severe reddening of the epidermis is possible after the procedure;
• neodymium. The penetration depth of the beam is 6 mm. For hair removal, this laser has a 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 to alexandrite laser. For hair removal in the bikini area, it is rarely used due to the need for additional manipulations that irritate the delicate skin. The laser is able to remove gray hair, as it additionally affects the blood vessels, interrupting the nutrition of the hair, followed by its death;
• ruby. It is not used to remove light and red hair and with a dark skin tone. The procedure takes a longer period of time and may be accompanied by noticeable discomfort. The beam can destroy the bulbs at a depth of 3 mm, 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 bulbs, and also after determining the skin tone and hair color.

Types of laser hair removal for bikini area

Laser hair removal (deep, medium and total bikini has a lot in common) by the type and depth of treatment is selected at the request of the client.

Classic

In the classic (medium) version, it provides hair removal along the edge line of the underwear. On average, vegetation is removed 3 cm deep into the pubis and 2 cm on the inner side of the thighs. The zone can be adjusted according to individual wishes (according to a swimsuit or the desired style of panties). The procedure takes 20-30 minutes.

Deep

Deep processing removes hair from the entire inner thigh, pubic area and labia (outside). Also, vegetation is eliminated in the buttocks and in the fold 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 for removing vegetation in the required areas takes at least 40 minutes. If desired, epilation 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 vegetation on the inner side of the labia and near the anus. The procedure is accompanied by pain, anesthesia is required. The duration of the epilation is at least 1 hour.

How many sessions will it take to achieve smooth skin

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

With repeated treatment, inactive follicles can also remain, which can "wake up" also after 6 months.

To achieve the 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 it is required to maintain an interval of at least 30 days between procedures, the duration of a full course takes up to 6 months. It is not recommended to do more than 12 epilations per year.

Contraindications to the procedure

Epilation using a laser in the intimate area is carried out in the absence of contraindications.

Depending on the type of apparatus and the qualifications of the specialist, some contraindications are conditional (the presence of menstruation, the color of the skin and hair).

Possible negative consequences

If you ignore the contraindications or the inexperience of the master, a negative reaction may develop after the procedure:

• burns of the treated area (due to insufficient cooling of the skin or incorrect setting of the device);
• increased pigmentation at the treatment site;
• inflammation of the hair follicles;
• exacerbation of existing diseases;
• allergic rash, itching and swelling of the pain relievers used.

If the use of protective glasses is neglected, the quality of vision may be impaired. Subject to the conditions of preparation, as well as skin care after hair removal, when passing specialists before the procedure (to exclude contraindications) and with the right choice of salon, side effects are extremely rare.

Preparation for deep bikini laser hair removal

Laser hair removal (deep bikini has more contraindications than hair removal on other parts of the body) is more effective and reduces the likelihood of complications after proper preparation for the procedure:

• Exclude the presence of contraindications. To do this, you need to be examined by a dermatologist, therapist and gynecologist.
• If you are taking strong hormonal or antibiotics, they should be stopped 30 days before epilation.
• Sunbathing, solarium and saunas are prohibited for 10-14 days.
• A month before the procedure, do not use other methods of epilation. Eliminate hair with a razor.
• The length of the hair in the treated area should be optimal for a high-quality procedure (discussed with the master and depends on the type of laser).
• If you have a tendency to develop herpes or thrush, put down candles before epilation for preventive purposes.
• Do not use aggressive ointments and detergents 3 days before epilation, as they can chemically react with the anesthetic.
• Eliminate the presence of menstruation during the procedure, since during this period the intimate area becomes more sensitive to pain, and general health worsens.
• Applying an anesthetic topical before the procedure. Before choosing, you should take into account the contraindications to the drug, the time of application before the procedure and the duration of the composition.
• Washing intimate areas 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 epilation option. In the absence of side effects, you can deepen the treatment area.

Do I need pain relief

In the classic version, pain relief is required with increased sensitivity of the skin. For deep and total epilation, the use of external anesthetics is recommended.

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

Recommended ointments for epilation:

• Emla;
• AneStop;
• Sustaine;
• 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 the hair in the treated area depends on the type of laser selected. If the hair is too long, then 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 burned 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 shaving razor before the procedure;
• alexandrite and ruby. Hair length should be 3-5 mm.

A more accurate length of vegetation should be checked with a specialist in the salon. Since the parameters can change from the novelty of the hardware.

How is the procedure performed, does it hurt?

The sequence of laser hair removal:

1. If classic hair removal is chosen, then the underwear should outline the desired treatment area. Underwear must be removed for deep or total epilation.
2. The client is placed on a specialized chair.
3. When choosing an immediate anesthetic, the specialist applies the composition to the treatment area;
4. Safety glasses must be worn to prevent damage to the retina.
5. The master adjusts the device to the desired length and processes the skin.
6. To improve the passage of the laser beam, a special gel is used, which is evenly distributed over the treated area.
7. The duration of the session is from 20 to 90 minutes. Depends on the depth of processing.
8. The specialist removes the remaining gel.
9. A special composition is applied to the skin to protect against irritation.

When choosing a course of epilation, the specialist sets the date for the next procedure.

The nuances of skin care are also discussed. The painfulness of the procedure depends on the client's pain sensitivity and the choice of anesthetic. On average, a session may be accompanied by a little discomfort.

Safety measures and rules for skin care after the procedure

Laser hair removal (deep, total or classic bikini is carried out after preparation in the absence of contraindications) requires special care of the skin after the procedure.

Nuances of skin care:

• within 5-7 days it is required to use protective equipment with anti-burn action (Sulfargin, Radevit, Bepanten);
• cosmetics can be used in 14-20 days;
• a visit to the bath or sauna is allowed after 3 days. Wash in the bathroom or shower after 24 hours;
• when washing the epilation area, do not use aggressive products and a coarse sponge;
• visiting the solarium and sunbathing is allowed after 10-14 days;
• any remaining hairs can only be removed with a razor. Plucking with tweezers is prohibited;
• if you choose another method of hair removal, the procedure is allowed after 14 days;
• underwear should be of natural material.

After 1 or 3 procedures, increased hair growth may occur. This is the body's response to a lack of vegetation in a given area. This provokes the awakening of the sleeping bulbs. Subsequent procedures will make the skin smooth for a long time.

How much effect is there

Smoothness of the skin after 1 procedure can be observed from 6 months. This indicator depends on the rate of hair growth and the individual characteristics of the body. After a full course (5-6 sessions), vegetation may be absent for up to 7 years. Further, the hairs can appear only in places; corrective hair removal will be required.
