Laser hair removal for the intergluteal crease (SIF)

Laser hair removal for the SIF is becoming increasingly popular among both men and women, motivated by hygiene and aesthetics. This highly intimate area is often difficult to manage with traditional methods such as shaving, which can lead to :

• Risk of injury.
• Ingrown hairs or pilonidal cysts.
• Unsatisfactory results.

Laser hair removal, performed by an expert physician, provides a professional, effective, and comfortable alternative. Using state-of-the-art equipment, the treatment ensures high-quality results while maintaining safety.

Laser hair removal targets hair at the root for long-term results. Unlike waxing or plucking, which pull hair out, the laser’s thermal energy destroys the hair follicle. This method specifically targets the pigment in the hair while preserving surrounding tissues.

Visible benefits include :

• Slower regrowth : Hair grows back more slowly until it eventually stops after completing the treatment protocol.
• Reduced hair density : Significant hair reduction after each session.
• Improved skin comfort : No itching, redness, or irritation caused by repeated hair removal methods.

Before beginning treatment, Dr. Aimé will conduct a consultation to assess your health and expectations, as well as to rule out contraindications.

Contraindications include :

• Blood clotting or healing disorders.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Skin lesions, hemorrhoids, or dermatological conditions.
• Use of photosensitizing medications.

Pre-treatment guidelines :

• Avoid waxing or plucking hair from the SIF one month before treatment.
• Discontinue tanning activators at least one month prior.
• Shave the area the day before your session.
• Ensure the skin is clean and free of creams or products on the day of your appointment.

Sessions are conducted in a private, medical-grade environment designed to ensure comfort and discretion.

1. Skin Examination : Dr. Aimé will inspect your skin for any lesions that may delay treatment.
2. Preparation : The area is cleaned and disinfected before treatment begins.
3. Laser Treatment : The laser emits light pulses that destroy hair follicles, preventing regrowth. A cooling system minimizes discomfort by reducing the sensation of heat.
4. Duration : The session takes approximately 10 minutes.
5. Post-Treatment Care : A soothing cream is applied to prevent redness or burning sensations.

To maximize results and prevent irritation, follow these aftercare recommendations :

• Clean the treated area with a gentle soap to maintain hygiene.
• Apply a soothing cream for 2–3 days as prescribed.
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for 48 hours.
• Refrain from waxing, plucking, or using epilators between sessions. Shaving is allowed if necessary.

Results :
Patients experience significant and long-lasting hair reduction, achieving a smooth, hair-free SIF area that provides both aesthetic and hygienic benefits.

The average price for a single session of laser hair removal for the SIF is approximately €150 (including VAT). A personalized treatment plan and quote will be provided during your consultation.
