Hair Removal

It is almost summer time, and women everywhere are starting to think about getting that summer tan. The big thought that is on everyone’s mind is how to get rid of that unwanted bikini hair. You know the embarrassing part of wearing a bikini or even a short pair of workout shorts. Are you tired of waxing, hair removal creams, and yikes..shaving and tweezing? What about laser bikini hair removal? It may not e for everyone, and it is not an inexpensive procedure, but it is in most cases permanent, you just have to research and find out if it is for you.
Laser hair removal has been tested since the 1950’s and became commercially available in the 1970’s. It has gone through many changes to make it safer, and less painful. Laser Hair removal is done by targeting the melanin which is the pigment in skin or hair, in this case the melanin in the area of the hair follicle. The best results with laser hair removal are dark hair on light pigment skin. There have been many advances in the last few years to be able to treat lighter pigmented hair, and people with darker skin tones.
Bikini areas and pubic areas are one of the easier places to remove hair with laser treatment. The hair is usually courser and darker than other areas of the body, this is beneficial to treating with laser. However laser hair removal of the bikini area or any area of the body is not without some pain. The heat is intense and there are several methods that are used to cool the area during treatment. Some side effects also are possible. These can include itchiness, redness, and swelling around the treatment area. Other side effects can also occur these include skin pigment change, (white spots) burns, scabbing, and acne around the treatment site, and in rare cases infection can occur.
The treatment is not a onetime deal. There are between 3-8 treatments needed to permanently remove hair. The treatments should be spaced out eight to twelve weeks. This will allow the hair to go through a cycle. The only hair that can be treated is growing hair. So after the treatment you will have to wait for the dying hair to shed, and long enough to see growing hair coming in. The number of treatments depends on the type of hair that is being treated.
The costs for laser hair removal are varied and have been steadily declining in the last few years. However it is still a very expensive procedure depending on the area of treatment and the size of the area. For instance the bikini line which is approx 2” along the top and sides average cost is $250 per treatment. The whole pubic area or a Brazilian is average cost of $800 per treatment. You can lessen the cost if you are willing to go to a laser treatment school, where new techs are learning and being supervised during the treatment. The cost can dramatically drop to around $50 – $150 per treatment.
Bikini laser hair removal is a good option for you if you have the commitment to spend the time and money on it. It can take up to 15 months and $ 2,000 for just the bikini line. To do a whole Brazilian treatment it will take about the same amount of time but quite a bit more money.
Laser hair removal can be a good option if you fit the criteria.
