Is it awkward to get a Brazilian laser hair removal? It's completely normal to feel a bit awkward or nervous before your first Brazilian laser hair removal session, but rest assured, trained professionals handle these treatments with the utmost professionalism and discretion.
It's uncomfortable, but it's worth it. It does hurt a little the first few times, so be aware that there will be a couple of zaps that might sting. They have seen it all before. They don't even take notice. It takes about 5 mins in total but that's for Brazilian.
Your aesthetician will start with the bikini line, then move onto the pubis and the labia. If you're getting a full Brazilian you'll turn onto your stomach so the aesthetician can do the hair on your bum. This is often the part people are most sensitive about but it's probably the easiest part!
Brazilian laser hair removal includes all of the pubic hair and the hair along the upper inner thighs of the bikini line. This generally does not include the upper leg or the lower abdomen.
You'll feel a series of quick pulses, kind of like a tiny rubber band snapping against your skin. It's a little tingly, but it's way better than hot wax. And don't worry, clinics like ours use built-in cooling mechanisms to ensure the experience is as pleasant as possible.
Brazilian waxing is more likely to cause intense, short-lived pain, while laser hair removal tends to involve a milder but longer-lasting discomfort.
Wear comfortable clothes
For the first-timer, we recommend opting for a skirt or a pair of loose linen pants.
Laser hair removal is a safe way to remove hairs around the nipple area.
For expensive treatments like lasers, 10% is often considered a nice gesture. You likely don't need to tip 20% like you would for a basic haircut. Most laser centers prefer tips to be given at the end rather than beginning of a treatment package.
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.
Skin on your bikini area is more sensitive so you should shave gently. Shave in the direction of the hair growth first, and then you can go against the hair growth direction for a closer shave. Make sure to use special creams such as Harley Sooth (post-laser treatment balm) to eliminate the irritation.
If you forget to shave before your laser hair removal appointment, the effectiveness of your treatment may diminish. The laser may focus on surface hair rather than targeting the hair follicles, leading to: Heightened discomfort: Unshaved hair can cause stinging or a burning sensation during the session.
Yes, Brazilian laser hair removal typically includes the removal of hair from the entire pubic area, which includes the butt crack.
Brazilian laser hair removal for men involves using laser technology to remove hair from the pubic area, including the groin, scrotum, and perianal areas, depending on the client's preference. This method offers a more permanent solution compared to shaving or waxing.
Summary. Brazilian laser hair removal feels like rubber band snaps, with pain levels varying between 4-7/10, much more tolerable than waxing. Pain decreases with each treatment session as hair becomes finer, making long-term results worth the initial discomfort.
Hairs do not fall out immediately, but you will shed them over a period of days to weeks.
Before the Session
One way to reduce pain from laser hair removal is to use a numbing cream on the area being treated. You can pick up the cream the day before your appointment or arrive early to apply it in the office. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the treated area about an hour before your session.
It's Not as Awkward as You're Thinking
Truthfully, you're probably going to think the worst “pain” comes from feeling awkward. We get it. Giving a stranger access to your body's most private area can feel uncomfortable. Here's the thing: laser technicians don't find the process to be awkward at all.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before showering after laser hair removal. This is because your skin will be sensitive to heat for a period of up to 48 hours after the treatment. People who tend to have more sensitive skin should wait the entire 48 hours before showering after laser hair removal.
If you're wondering whether to tip for laser hair removal treatments, the answer is yes, but it's not mandatory. Tipping is a way to show your appreciation for excellent service and build trust with your esthetician or laser hair removal technician.
