10 Things You Need to Know About Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

Imagine having smooth skin, all year round, all the time. Say goodbye to shaving and painful wax appointments and say hello to long-lasting, hair-free, smooth skin. Laser hair removal is one of the most popular services offered at Aesthetica Medical Spa. A Brazilian laser hair removal, one of the many areas we treat, can significantly decrease, or completely remove, pubic hair.

1. What’s included in a Brazilian laser hair removal?

Brazilian laser hair removal targets all hair growing around the pubic region, from the front to all the way to the back. If you choose, you can always leave any hair left behind that you don’t want gone such as a neat strip, triangle, or any custom design you wish. If you are looking to only remove hair that is exposed outside your bikini, you can opt in for a bikini line laser hair removal.

2. Can men get a Brazilian laser hair removal?

Yes! A “manzilian” is what we typically call a male Brazilian laser hair removal. A manzilian thus removes hair in the genital area from the front to the back, which includes everything including, shaft, scrotum, intergluteal cleft, and everywhere else in between.

3. Do laser Brazilians or manzilians hurt? What can I expect?

Laser hair removal in general can be uncomfortable, but it’s tolerable and a lot less painful than waxing. Each laser Brazilian or manzilian session takes no more than 20 minutes. The closest description of how laser hair removal feels is feeling like you’re being snapped by a rubber band. If you’re anxious about the pain, we can prescribe a topical anesthetic that you can apply 30-minutes prior to your appointment to ease the pain and discomfort.

4. How do I prepare for my Brazilian laser hair removal or my manzilian?

You can shave as often as you want/need, but plucking and waxing hair should be avoided for 6 weeks before your treatment. Additionally, sun exposure, bed tanning, and spray tanning should be avoided for 2 weeks before and after your laser hair removal appointment. Some oral medications, specifically antibiotics, as well as topical retinoids in the area being treated should be avoided for 2 weeks prior to your appointment as both make your skin sensitive to light. Let your Laser Technician know of any medications you are currently taking and your skin regimen to avoid unwanted side effects.

Feel free to gently exfoliate the area being treated 24-48 hours before your appointment, and shave and shower at least 24 hours prior to your laser hair removal, including for a Brazilian laser hair removal. We will provide wipes to wipe away any lotions and deodorant. If you have any questions, our Laser Technicians can answer them during your consultation, before, or after your actual Brazilian laser hair removal appointment.

5. Are there aftercare instructions following my Brazilian laser hair removal or manzilian?

Some patients will begin to see hair falling out and slower growth just after their first session, however, for most patients, they’ll begin seeing results in 4-6 sessions. At Aesthetica, we recommend 12 treatments for optimal results spread out 4-6 weeks apart. Our Laser Technicians recommend our patients the following after their Brazilian laser hair removal session:

Apply the aloe vera soothing gel provided by our Medical Spa to cool the skin after your treatment
Avoid exercising for the next few days, saunas, and hot showers or baths
Use a gentle, mild soap to wash the area treated
Gently exfoliate the treated area to avoid ingrown hairs and to remove dead skin cells
Avoid waxing and plucking the area
Avoid swimming or coming in contact with chlorine
Don’t expose the treated area to the sun

6. How do I know if I'm a good candidate for Brazilian laser hair removal?

Brazilian laser hair removal can be a great option if you’re looking for smooth, hair free skin in the bikini area. At Aesthetica, we see a lot of laser hair removal patients who come in complaining about skin irritation, ingrown hairs, fast regrowth, coarse hair texture, and even shadowing that’s caused by shaving, waxing, and hair removal creams.

If you’re tired of traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, hair removal creams, or if your skin is easily irritated or sensitive, laser hair removal could be the perfect solution for you! Laser hair removal patients enjoy smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and less daily upkeep over time.

Good Brazilian laser hair removal candidates have healthy skin, realistic expectations, and no active infections, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area. While laser technology has advanced to treat a variety of skin tones and hair types, patients who have fair skin and dark hair often see the quickest results. During your consultation, our Laser Technicians will assess your skin, hair, and goals to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

8. How long does Brazilian laser hair removal last?

Contrary to popular belief, laser hair removal is not a permanent solution for unwanted hair. However, once you’ve completed your 12 treatment sessions that come with your Brazilian laser hair removal package, you can expect long-lasting results. Most patients can expect to see a reduction of hair for several months to years. results to last. Occasional maintenance treatments may be needed because over time, you may notice some hair regrowth, which is very normal, but generally speaking, hair regrowth will be much finer and sparse—if it returns at all.

Things that can affect hair regrowth include individual hair growth cycles, hormone levels, and the number of treatments received. If you have any concerns or questions, schedule a complimentary Brazilian laser hair removal consultation with us today. One of our experienced Laser Technicians will answer your questions.

9. How many sessions are needed for a Brazilian laser hair removal?

Most patients need a series of 6 to 12 sessions, spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve smooth, long-lasting results. That’s because hair grows in cycles—and laser hair removal is only effective during the active growth phase. Everyone’s hair and skin are different, so our team at Aesthetica will customize your treatment plan based on your unique needs. Our laser hair removal packages include 12 treatments over the course of 18 months.

10. Is laser hair removal for Brazilians worth it?

If you’re tired of traditional hair removal methods, or dealing with skin irritation or ingrown hairs, Brazilian laser hair removal can be a worthwhile investment. It offers a long-term solution by significantly reducing hair growth. In turn, you’ll save money, time, effort, and discomfort over the years. Many Aesthetica Brazilian laser hair removal patients find their results well worth it, especially when considering the lasting smoothness and confidence they gain. Plus, with today’s advanced laser technology, treatments are faster, more comfortable, and highly customizable to your hair and skin type!
