Since we’re keeping it 100, you bet your ^$$ it hurts like a %*&^$.
Let’s back it up <<, what is Brazilian laser hair removal? This is a procedure that essentially involves removing hair from your body. However, unlike shaving, waxing, hair removal creams and the likes, Brazilian laser hair removal produces lasting results. This is because, it does not just remove hair from the surface of your skin or from your skin follicles but it burns out your hair follicles and effectively prevents further hair production in that area, meaning that it actually affects the hair follicle’s ability to grow hair, thus, the Brazilian laser hair removal pain. Because of how it works, it has gotten popular with many people getting Brazilian bikini laser hair removal and some others getting this procedure in their entire vaginal and buttocks region.

Ooh! That sounds cool, maybe I should consider getting a laser hair removal.
Wait a minute! It’s not cheap, it’s not painless, and it’s definitely not once and for all. More so, not everyone is an ideal candidate.
So who’s an ideal candidate?
The first thing you should do after you’ve conceived the thought of getting a Brazilian bikini laser hair removal or total removal in your vaginal and buttocks area, is to go in for a consultation. But beware of just stepping in anywhere. Do a thorough research and make sure you’re working with professionals and the equipment used are FDA approved, especially because of the Brazilian laser hair removal pain. I’ll suggest getting this done at a specialist center (i.e. where they specialize in Brazilian laser hair removal alone) – this is for your safety and hygiene. Okay, now that I’ve let that out, a consultation is necessary to determine if a laser removal is applicable in your case. Consultation is mostly free so go right ahead.
Ideally, the right candidate should have the appropriate hair color, skin color, and skin sensitivity (because of the Brazilian laser hair removal pain). You must also provide certain medical information that may hinder the procedure, such as pregnancy, STDs or a history of melanoma, raised moles, hives, tattoos, actives herpes, etc. In any case, you must have adequate melanin or be light skinned with dark hair. Unfortunately, laser does not work on people with blonde, red, or grey hair. Once you’ve completely cleared this process, congratulations! – You’re ready for your first Brazilian bikini laser hair removal treatment, so then, you need to check with their pricing to determine if you can comfortably shoulder it.
How many procedures are required for final permanent results?
On average, lasting results appear between six to twelve Brazilian bikini laser hair removal treatments, depending and varying per individual. However, many people are comfortable with results after 3 treatments and can comfortably manage their current results – or could it be that they’re avoiding more Brazilian laser hair removal pain? ;). Essentially, after the first treatment, your hair thins out and don’t grow out as bushy as before. More so, it doesn’t grow out as often. If you want your hair gone permanently, then have repeat treatments until you have victory over all your hair follicles.
Just how painful is it?
I already told you though, it hurts like crazy! Feelings that are teeth-gritting, whether you feel a zap, pull, pinch, or burn, it still hurts. There are other episodes, after the Brazilian bikini laser hair removal procedure, which you should watch out for, such as; swelling, redness, scabbing and soreness. Oh yes, you’ll feel like your lasered area lifted 500 pounds at the gym earlier in the day. Additionally, with every new procedure, the strength of the laser is increased, but you may or may not feel as much Brazilian laser hair removal pain. What you may encounter along with the earlier mentioned episodes include; epidermal injury, blistering, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, and textural changes in the skin, i.e. crusting, scabbing, or scarring. However, their degrees or whether you’ll experience them at all still vary per individual.
How can you make it hurt less?
I imagine at some point you want to know how to counter all the woe. Here are a few ways:
- Don’t do it within a week before or within a week after your period to avoid sensitivity that could cause extreme Brazilian laser hair removal pain.
- Have a painkiller at say, 30 minutes before going in for the procedure.
- Get a numbing cream (most Brazilian bikini laser hair removal centers have this but some may offer it as a separate purchase) and apply within an hour of the procedure.
- Avoid caffeine 2 to 3 days before the procedure to avoid feeling jittery or being unnecessarily on edge.
- Shave within 24 hours of the procedure but completely avoid waxing, plucking or any other ‘pulling’ hair removal tactics 6 weeks prior to your procedure.
- Apply some healing lotion after your procedure (I recommend aloe, coconut oil or anything rich in vitamin E)
- Avoid sexual intercourse until 3 days after your procedure.
- Avoid shaving your lasered area until a week after your procedure. This is to allow the burnt hair to grow out and shed by itself.
