Is Brazilian laser hair removal for you? Do you even know what Brazilian laser hair removal is? Chances are that you don’t. In a recent poll of hair removal methods, most people didn’t know what this was. The majority of people were however,  familiar with laser hair removal. Even if they didn’t know exactly how the procedure worked or the details of laser hair removal, they had heard about laser hair removal in general.  Add the word Brazilian and most people would have no idea what you are talking about.


So, to begin this article let me just define Brazilian laser hair removal for you.  It’s basically just laser bikini hair removal.  Basically this is just a clever way to say hair removal from the pubic area. Many people have been shaving the hair from their bikini area for quite some time. Both men and women often shave hair from this area. Laser Brazilian hair removal is fairly new in that many people have been a little bit leery or reluctant to have laser hair removal performed in this region of the body. Surprisingly enough, it is becoming more and more common these days.

Why Is Laser Bikini Hair Removal Becoming More Popular?

One of the reasons that it is becoming more common is because laser hair removal is much more permanent than traditional  bikini hair removal methods such as shaving a waxing. Many times women and men would go into a health spa or beauty salon and have the Brazilian wax. A Brazilian wax is basically the same thing as laser Brazilian hair removal in terms of the area of hair that is removed. Both men and women have had Brazilian waxing performed. It probably surpises you to know that it’s common for men to have a male Brazilian wax.  A Brazilian wax is much more painful than Brazilian bikini laser hair removal. Not only is it more painful, the results don’t last nearly as long as laser hair removal.

There are plenty of web sites that claim that laser hair removal is permanent hair removal but they are either not telling you the truth or don’t understand the process entirely. Laser hair removal might be more accurately defined as permanent hair reduction.

To clear the air, let’s talk about the facts of this method of hair removal.

What is Brazilian Laser Hair Removal?

When the word Brazilian is used in the context of hair removal, it simply means the removal of hair in and around the pubic area. Most commonly this is reserved for hair that would show past the edges of the bikini line. This does not mean that it is reserved exclusively for this area. Some people have laser Brazilian bikini hair removal performed in a much more extreme manner and have all of the hair removed from their genital areas as well. Just as there are many styles of haircuts, there are many styles of Brazilian hair removal.

Who Are Good Candidates For Brazilian Laser Hair Removal?

Generally, the best candidates for laser hair removal are people with light skin complexions and dark, course hair. The reason that lasers work for removing hair is that the light is absorbed and converted into heat when it stikes the dark pigment in the hair follicles. If you have dark skin, the laser light does not discriminate between your dark skin and your dark hair and will potentially cause serious burning to your skin.

If you are a man with dark skin, you should probably get a male Brazilian wax. That is, if you can tolerate the discomfort of this manner of hair removal.

How Is Laser Brazilian Hair Removal Performed?

When you go in for laser Brazilian hair removal, a cooling gell will be applied to the area that you are having treated. This will minimize the discomfort that you experience during the procedure. In some cases, it is possible for a topical numbing agent to be used which will also minimize any discomfort that you might experience.

Brief pulses of the laser will then be directed at the hairs that you would like to have removed. The light from these lasers is absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair follicle and converted  into heat. This  heat will then damage the hair follicle which inhibits future growth of hair from that  follicle. It’s not uncommon for you to need between two and six treatments sessions for the results to be long lasting. After this many treatment sessions, the hair will have slowed to hardly growing at all. If you have some hair that begins to regrow, you can go in for a maintenance sessions to further  inhibit these hairs from regrowing.

While laser hair removal is not permanent hair removal, it is permanent hair reduction and it is much longer lasting than waxing or shaving.

Does Brazilian laser hair removal hurt?

Some people report that they had experienced a sensation similar to being snapped with a rubber band during laser Brazilian bikini hair removal. Other people report no discomfort and all. This has a lot to do with your individual level of pain tolerance. If you experience too much discomfort during the procedure, you should ask about whether or not they can apply a topical numbing cream to the area to alleviate the discomfort.

How Much Does Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Cost?

There are several factors that contribute to the cost of laser hair removal. Area that you are having hair removed from and the density of the hair in that area will play a major contributing role in how much you’ll have to pay for the procedure. You should know that it is not possible in the beginning to know exactly how many treatment sessions you will need because different people’s body responds differently to laser hair removal. I can tell you that the average cost per treatment session for laser bikini Brazilian hair removal is around $200 to $500 per session. You’ll need between three and six treatments sessions on average so you could pay between $600 and $1500 for the full procedure.

What Are The Risks Associated With Brazilian Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is generally considered fairly safe. That being said, you are having laser hair removal performed in a very sensitive region of the body with Brazilian laser hair removal. The risks associated with this procedure in that area would be receiving burns to the genital area. These risks are much higher for people with dark skin than people with light skin. It’s advisable to only have this procedure performed in this particular region of your body by someone who is quite experienced at doing laser hair removal in this region. If you receive burns on other parts of your body during laser hair removal, it would be mild discomfort but burns in the genital area, could be quite uncomfortable.
