Intimate areas treated

Bikini line to full Brazilian: choose your area

Every woman's preference is different. The area is marked out with you before the first session, so you decide exactly what is treated and what is kept.

Why a lady doctor

Why many women choose a female doctor for Brazilian laser

For most women, the hardest part of a Brazilian is not the laser. It is walking into the room. Seeing a female doctor in a private treatment room makes that easier, and you can ask anything without feeling rushed or judged.

It is also a medical laser procedure on delicate skin, so a doctor's assessment matters. Before the first session Dr Mavis checks your skin type and any pigmentation, medications that make skin sensitive to light, a history of keloid scarring, and a history of cold sores or genital herpes, since heat can trigger a flare and preventive medication may be advised. Hormonal causes of hair growth such as PCOS are discussed too.

Mayo Clinic advises choosing a medically qualified, appropriately trained practitioner for laser hair removal rather than a provider where non-medical staff perform the procedure.^[1]

Intimate skin & skin tone

Brazilian laser on darker intimate skin

Skin in the bikini and intimate area is often darker than elsewhere on the body, particularly in Asian skin, and the hair there is coarse and deep. That combination is exactly where the choice of wavelength matters.

The Clarity II has two lasers in one: a 755nm Alexandrite, suited to lighter skin and finer hair, and a 1064nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG, which passes the surface pigment and reaches deeper follicles. The manufacturer describes 755nm as suited to Fitzpatrick skin types I to III and 1064nm as the safer option for types IV to VI.^[3] Both wavelengths are cleared by the US FDA for permanent hair reduction on all skin types, Fitzpatrick I to VI, including tanned skin.^[2]

“Darker bikini skin is not a reason to avoid laser. It is a reason to choose the right wavelength.”Dr Mavis Pak

In a randomised controlled trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology, a long-pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser was more effective than IPL for hair removal in dark skin, with both rated safe.^[4] A systematic review and meta-analysis of lasers for unwanted hair in skin of colour has examined the same question across many studies.^[5] Dr Mavis can switch wavelength within one session, for example 1064nm on the Brazilian area and 755nm on the upper lip.

Shaving vs waxing vs laser

For the bikini area, how do they compare?

“Waxing removes the hair. Laser removes the follicle's ability to grow it back.”Dr Mavis Pak

Your first Brazilian session

What actually happens, step by step

1. Before: shave the area the day before or that morning. Do not wax, pluck, thread or epilate for about 4 weeks before, and avoid tanning the area for 2 weeks. Book outside your period if you can.
2. Consultation: Dr Mavis goes through your skin, medical history and medications, and you agree together which areas to treat and what to keep.
3. Privacy: you change in a private room and disposable underwear is provided, adjusted as each area is treated.
4. Treatment: the laser is applied to the hair-bearing skin only, with cryogen cooling on every pulse. A bikini line takes about 10 minutes and a full Brazilian about 15 to 20.
5. After: mild redness and small bumps around the follicles are normal and usually settle within hours to a day. Wear loose cotton underwear, and skip saunas, hot yoga, swimming and anything that causes friction for a day or two.
6. Over the course: treated hairs shed over 1 to 3 weeks. Most women need about 6 to 8 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart, with occasional maintenance later.^[1]

“Laser treats the hair-bearing skin of the bikini area, never the delicate inner skin.”Dr Mavis Pak

Treatment is postponed during pregnancy. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, but changes in skin colour can occur, especially on darker skin or after sun exposure, and blistering or scarring are uncommon.^[1] This is why settings are chosen for your skin rather than a preset.

Other areas

Underarms, face, legs and more

Many women add other areas to their Brazilian course: underarms (a few minutes for both sides), upper lip, chin and jawline (including hormonally driven hair with PCOS), arms and legs, the back and the abdomen.
