Unlike shaving or waxing, laser treatment targets the hair follicle at the root, which may help minimise regrowth and reduce skin irritation. After a series of sessions, many people notice smoother skin and fewer ingrown hairs.

Still deciding? Here are six reasons Brazilian laser hair removal could be worth exploring.

What Is Brazilian Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work?

Brazilian laser hair removal is designed to reduce most or all of the hair in the bikini area. The laser emits controlled light energy, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. Over time, this reduces the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.

While waxing and shaving remove hair at the surface, laser hair removal affects the hair at its source. After approximately 6–8 sessions, clients often experience noticeable reduction in hair growth, with maintenance sessions required depending on individual response.

6 REASONS TO GET YOUR BRAZILIAN LASERED

1. May Help Reduce Ingrown Hairs and Irritation

Ingrown hairs can cause discomfort, inflammation, and dark spots, particularly after shaving or waxing. Because laser hair removal targets the follicle, it may reduce the chance of hair curling back into the skin, helping to minimise irritation over time.

2. Smoother Skin and Reduced Shaving Rash

Shaving the bikini area often leads to stubble, razor burn, or bumps. With Brazilian laser hair removal, the reduced frequency of shaving can support a smoother-feeling texture and decrease post-shave irritation.

3. Fewer Grooming Appointments

Unlike waxing, which requires regrowth before each session, laser hair removal doesn’t require visible hair between treatments. Over time, many people find they need less frequent maintenance, making it a more convenient grooming option in the long run.

4. Can Support Comfort and Confidence

While the choice to remove hair is personal, many individuals report feeling more comfortable and confident with reduced hair in the bikini area, particularly in warmer climates, during exercise, or while travelling.

5. May Offer Long-Term Cost Savings

Although the upfront cost of laser hair removal is higher, it may reduce the need for regular waxing or shaving expenses over time. Many clients find the long-term reduction in hair growth offers both time and cost benefits.

6. Always Ready for the Beach (or a Last-Minute Getaway)

One of the most convenient aspects of Brazilian laser hair removal is how it can reduce the need for last-minute grooming before holidays, events, or spontaneous plans. With fewer regrowth concerns, many people feel more prepared for whatever’s next.

What to Expect During a Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Session

Before your appointment, shave the treatment area 24 hours in advance, avoid waxing or plucking. It’s also recommended to avoid sun exposure on the area before and after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.

At your session, your clinician will apply a cooling gel and use a laser device on the bikini area. Most people describe the sensation as a warm snap against the skin, typically more tolerable than waxing. Sessions usually take between 10 and 20 minutes.

Mild redness or warmth may occur after treatment and usually resolves within a few hours. Avoid hot showers, tight clothing, intense workouts, or active skincare products on the area for 24–48 hours.

Is It Suitable for Everyone?

Laser hair removal works best on darker hair, as the laser targets pigment in the follicle. Individuals with blonde, grey, or white hair may see limited results. However, with newer laser technologies, treatment is now suitable for a range of skin tones.
