Bikini laser hair removal

Temporary hair removal techniques like waxing, shaving, or using epilators often cause discomfort, especially in the bikini area. Many women prefer permanent solutions. Bikini laser hair removal ensures flawless results at the beach or pool. Performed by a qualified aesthetic physician with certified medical equipment, it’s a safe, effective, and painless technique.

Why Opt for Laser Bikini Hair Removal ?

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, making it an ideal alternative if you’re tired of frequent waxing or shaving. This method helps eliminate common side effects of traditional hair removal methods, such as redness, ingrown hairs, or uneven regrowth. Laser hair removal in the bikini area provides :

  • Enhanced comfort.
  • Improved hygiene.
  • Aesthetic skin enhancement.

Types of Bikini Hair Removal

Various styles of bikini laser hair removal are available to suit your preferences and the lingerie or swimwear you wear most often. Common options include :

  • Classic Bikini Line :
    Removes only the hair outside the underwear line, leaving most of the hair intact. This involves treating a strip approximately 5 cm outside the inguinal fold.
  • Extended Bikini Line :
    Removes hair outside the underwear line and on the pubic area, leaving a triangular shape while retaining hair on the labia. Suitable for regular swimwear but not for thong-style garments.
  • Brazilian Bikini :
    Treats one-third of the labia and the interior of the buttocks, excluding the intergluteal crease. It creates a small triangle on the pubic area and removes hair on the sides and back, perfect for wearing thongs or string bikinis.
  • Full Bikini (With or Without Intergluteal Crease) :
    This style removes all hair on the pubic area, labia, and optionally the intergluteal crease (often referred to as the “anal area”). It leaves the bikini area completely smooth and hair-free.

Preparation Before a Bikini Laser Hair Removal Session

Before your first session, a consultation with Dr. Aimé is necessary to discuss your medical history, needs, and expectations. This allows for identifying potential contraindications and understanding the procedure fully. Follow these guidelines to ensure safe and effective treatment :

  • Avoid bleaching hair or using tanning activators at least three weeks prior.
  • Stop waxing or plucking hair one month before and throughout the treatment.
  • Shave the area the day before your session.
  • Avoid sun exposure before the procedure.

The Bikini Laser Hair Removal Procedure at Dr. Aimé’s Clinic

Your session will take place at Dr. Aimé’s laser center, using the high-performance Alexandrite GentleMax Pro Laser.

  1. Skin Check : Dr. Aimé will examine your skin for any lesions. If present, the session will be postponed until the area heals.
  2. Laser Application : The laser device emits light pulses to target hair follicles, while a cooling system soothes the skin to minimize heat sensations.
  3. Pain Management : For added comfort in this sensitive area, an anesthetic cream can be prescribed before the session.
  4. Duration : Sessions last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the selected bikini style.

After the session, a soothing cream is applied to calm the skin.

Post-Session Care for Bikini Laser Hair Removal

After the treatment, redness and perifollicular edema (small bumps around hair follicles) may appear but typically subside within a few hours or days for sensitive skin. Dr. Aimé recommends :

  • Applying a soothing cream for 2–3 days.
  • Keeping the skin hydrated.
  • Avoiding sun exposure or using high-SPF sunscreen if unavoidable.
  • Refraining from hair plucking methods during the treatment period. Shaving is allowed.

You may notice what appears to be regrowth within a week. This is the treated hair shedding naturally before falling out.

Results of Bikini Laser Hair Removal
