Bikini Laser Hair Removal FAQ

If you are interested in getting a personalized Laser Hair Removal treatment, then you are looking for a long-term hair reduction solution. Clients who want to reduce unwanted hair will find what they are looking for at Ideal Image. There are numerous benefits to take advantage of when you say yes to a completely personalized laser hair removal treatment with us. One popular feature is that you can treat multiple parts of the body during one session. This means Laser Hair Removal can be used to treat your arms, legs, neck, back, and, as many clients request, the bikini line. Bikini Laser Hair Removal remains one of our most popular treatments across all of our locations, but a lot of clients still have some very valid questions about the process. 

Today, we are going to answer all of your Bikini Laser Hair Removal questions and more by addressing the 10 most frequently asked questions. To determine whether you are a good candidate for this treatment, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation with an Aesthetic Consultant near you. 

How Does Bikini Laser Hair Removal Work? 

In order to completely get rid of unwanted hair around your bikini line, our Medical Professionals need to address each follicle at its root. That is exactly what our advanced Laser Hair Removal systems aim to achieve. With Bikini Line Laser Hair Removal, we direct a heated laser directly at these follicles, which destroys them. Over time, less and less hair will grow out of the follicle until it completely falls out. 

Our Medical Professionals will typically create a treatment plan that involves multiple sessions of Laser Hair Removal over several months in order to enhance personalized results. Laser Hair Removal is recommended for anyone looking to shape up their bikini line, as the treatment involves no surgery, no downtime, and no recovery schedule. 

Bikini Laser Hair Removal: Top 10 Most Asked Questions (And Their Answers) 

If you are interested in getting hair permanently reduced – and ultimately removed – from your bikini line area, you might have a few questions about the treatment before getting started. Who wouldn’t? You don’t need to worry, as we have rounded up some of our most commonly asked questions (and their answers, of course) about removing hair from this particular part of the body. At Ideal Image, we want our clients to feel comfortable asking any and all questions they may have when it comes to treating all types of body hair.

1. Can I Remove Hair From Anywhere On The Body With Laser Hair Removal? 

If you are really curious about whether or not our machines are capable of removing hair from down there or from anywhere else on the body, the answer is a resounding YES. We can remove hair from the front or back area of your body. As long as the hair is dark enough for our lasers to detect, then we should not have a problem treating it with our removal process. We can also leave a patch of hair behind if a client wants to maintain a certain aesthetic shape. 

2. Will I Be Completely Exposed Or Naked During A Bikini Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

We respect your privacy, and we prioritize your comfort and well-being above all else, so we go to great lengths to make Laser Hair Removal treatments as modest as possible. We use drapes and sheets to cover your body, and we only reveal small parts of your body at a time as we are working on them with the laser. As soon as we are done with that treatment area, we will cover it up again before moving on to the next patch of hair. 

3. Can I Shave Or Wax In Between My Laser Hair Removal Treatments? What Is Maintenance Like?

Once some of the hair has fallen out as a result of your most recent Laser Hair Removal session, you can expect that hair to be gone for about a month. This is known as the shedding process, which is a natural part of the cycle of hair growth. This hair will continue to grow back at first, though it will appear thinner and thinner after each subsequent treatment with your Ideal Image team. 

A couple of weeks before your next Laser Hair Removal appointment, you will notice this new hair growth. You are totally free to shave the area if you want, or you can leave it alone – it has no bearing on the effectiveness of your next treatment. Waxing should be avoided. 

4. Can I Get Laser Hair Removal While On My Period? 

Many of our clients want to know if they can get Laser Hair Removal while menstruating. In fact, this is one of the most common Bikini Laser Hair Removal questions that we get. Our Medical Professionals have been providing top-notch treatments using the most advanced and precise technology in the field for over two decades, and we have treated thousands of body types. We can absolutely treat you with your own custom session of Bikini Laser Hair Removal while you are menstruating. As long as you are using a tampon, we can address the hair around your genital area. 

5. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? 

Some prospective clients worry that Laser Hair Removal will cause redness, itchiness, or irritation after each treatment. While it is common for the skin to become a bit irritated as the hot laser light can get intense, this sensation is not expected to last long. If you feel some redness or pain shortly after the treatment, don’t panic: this is totally normal. You should not have any lingering pain after a day. You can stay in contact with your trusted team of Medical Professionals while you recover if you have any other questions or concerns. 

6. Can Men Get Bikini Laser Hair Removal? 

Men can absolutely receive a Bikini Laser Hair Removal treatment. People may want to remove hair from between their legs for any number of reasons, so anyone interested in having a permanently clean-shaven look can come to us for treatment. All of our experts and Medical Professionals at Ideal Image have completed over 200 additional hours of training, so we can not only meet industry standards but exceed them with each and every client we serve. We can help men remove all hair within the bikini area, even on the genitals. 

7. Will I Have Any Discoloration Or Loss Of Sensitivity?

Discoloration and loss of sensitivity after Laser Hair Removal are very valid concerns to have, but our Ideal Image team is more than happy to placate those fears. There is absolutely no risk of discoloration, loss of sensitivity, scarring, or loss of nerve function as a result of a Laser Hair Removal treatment. All of our treatments, including Bikini Laser Hair Removal, are completely safe and free of any major risks. While you may feel burning or tingling during the treatment itself, these symptoms will disappear as soon as your in-office treatment is complete. 

8. How Long Do The Results Of Each Bikini Laser Hair Removal Session Last? 

When you step into your nearest Ideal Image point of care for your in-person treatment, you can expect to be there for short periods of time. Overall, visit times may vary, but we always work to get our clients in and out safely and efficiently. This incredibly fast treatment should be an indication of how quickly you will see results as well. While every client’s body is different, the average person will start to see hair loss results within the first couple of weeks following their in-office appointment. From start to finish, we ensure that the process of Laser Hair Removal is convenient for you and your lifestyle. 

And since there is no downtime required, you can step right back into your day without skipping a beat. Return to work after a quick lunch break, as that is the only amount of time you will need to spend on this incredible self-care treatment. It is easier than ever to schedule one of these sessions for yourself without disrupting your work-life balance. 

9. Does Bikini Laser Hair Removal Work On C-Section Scars? 

If your C-section scar has started seeing some hair growth, don’t worry. Our Bikini Laser Hair Removal treatments are capable of removing hair from your scars, even those caused by a C-section treatment. No matter your condition or your previous health history, you can sign up for a free consultation with an Aesthetic Consultant to find out if you are a good candidate for this treatment. We do not, however, recommend that you receive Laser Hair Removal while pregnant. 

10. Can I Visit The Beach Or Pool In Between My Bikini Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

There is no issue with you going to the pool or getting into the water shortly after your Laser Hair Removal session. However, if you are still feeling a bit sensitive or irritated immediately after the treatment, you should avoid things like chlorine, sand, and salt water. Once you are no longer sensitive, you can enjoy time in the pool. Just remember to avoid the sun at all costs, as the treatment area should have little to no exposure at all.
