Bikini hair removal:can it be done with laser hair removal or pulsed light hair removal?

Laser hair removal, a good idea?

For those who want to get rid of hair, laser hair removal is ideal. It allows you to get rid of your hair by destroying melanin. This semi-definitive technique removes almost all of the hair. Just make a few touch-ups with tweezers for very soft skin. Beware, however, of these beautiful promises! This method is not for the cozy, especially when it comes to waxing the bikini line. This area being very sensitive, the laser technique is more painful than on the legs. You should also know that you must always perform the sessions in a medical setting. Make an appointment with a doctor or dermatologist, but avoid institutes and beauticians. Even if some offer these services, they are not authorized to use this technique. If you want to get rid of the hair that protrudes from the bikini, this technique is more expensive than hair removal with a razor or wax. It is also not reimbursed by health insurance.

Pulsed light, a revolutionary technique?

This method is attracting more and more women. Considered as semi-permanent, it needs to be renewed every five years to eliminate all hairs. Less expensive than laser hair removal, its principle is the same. Today, there are portable devices that allow you to do your hair removal at home. But for greater efficiency, prefer an intervention in an institute or medical center. Be careful when waxing the bikini line! First make sure that the equipment is approved (medical CE). Then, if you do this at home, adjust the lamp well to avoid burns.

Contraindications

If these two techniques are attractive, they require reflection before launching. In addition to the precautions to be taken, there are many contraindications. If you have healing problems and bleeding disorders, laser hair removal is not recommended. Ditto for skin at risk with melanomas and irritations. Also, be careful if you take certain medications, or if you have diabetes and epilepsy. It is also important to protect your eyes if you do your bikini line hair removal with pulsed light. You must wear glasses and be very careful. The jersey is a very sensitive area, so you have to be concentrated. Finally, if these two techniques work on the same principle, they are not recommended for tanned, matte and mixed skin. There must be a difference between the color of the skin and that of the hair.
