Brazilian laser hair removal – safety and privacy questions?
My gf was considering getting a Brazilian laser hair removal. The main reason she doesn’t want waxing is (obviously) the pain and she also doesn’t want people rubbing into her private parts. So I was wondering if they also peer into your private parts in laser hair removal. I also heard that laser hair removal is way less painful than waxing, but some people say that it’s not safe? How will it do for South Asians with light to moderate natural tan color (olive) skins? Will it give her burns or skin deterioration or anything or does it go away after a few hours. I went on the laser hair removal website and most of them say that am experiemced, qualified laser hair removal specialist should do any part safely. Should I ask my doctor about it? My gf wants full-body Brazilian – arms, legs, torso, bum (the center too) – except the lower pubic area near the genital; how is it? And yes I know that it’s expensive so no need to repeat that over and over again. Responses from people who’ve had Brazilian laser hair removals are very welcome.
Okay… science answer: You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have. Okay… Personal Experience: I’ve had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It’s like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it’s not as painful as a tattoo, and that’s not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I’ve had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks… It’s sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I’ve had so far I’ve lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It’s because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works. I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area: Bikini-$750 Underarms-$750 Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500
