Brazilian laser hair removal is a SEV client favorite. It’s our most frequently-performed service. If you’ve been curious about the treatment, whether you’ve had it before or not, this post is a must-read.

Discover everything you need to know about Brazilian laser hair removal, along with some fun facts that’ll get you more excited for your next treatment.

1. It Really Works!

The first question on most people’s minds is whether Brazilian laser hair removal works. The answer is a resounding yes.

Laser hair removal works by targeting and heating the root of the hair directly, bypassing the skin. This heat creates damage that stops new hair growth in its tracks.

Over time and with regular treatments, laser hair removal can eliminate unwanted hair from wherever it grows on the body, including the pelvic area.

In studies, many participants were able to achieve as much as 75% hair reduction within 3 treatments, although keep in mind that results vary in real life.

2. It Includes EVERYTHING 

Brazilian laser hair removal targets all of the hair growing around the pubic area and in the cleft of the buttocks. It’s a fairly intimate service but at SEV, we can take measures to help preserve your modesty.

Plus, you don’t have to commit to total smoothness. Many of our clients choose to leave a strip of hair in the center of the pubic mound. Just let your laser technician or nurse know before they start.

3. It’s Not Exactly Permanent (But It Lasts a Long Time) 

Laser hair removal is classified by the FDA as a permanent hair reduction method, mostly based on studies that spanned 3 years. For the average person, this can be a little confusing. While the results from Brazilian laser hair removal are very long-lasting, there is still a risk that some hair will grow back.

Your pubic area is very hormone-sensitive, so the risk of regrowth is especially high after big hormonal shifts. The good news is that you can maintain your results easily by returning for touch-up treatments once in a while. Overall, it’s still more long-lasting and more affordable than most other hair removal options.

4. It Can Save You a Lot of Money 

Those monthly waxing appointments can add up, and even shaving can be costly once you account for the cost over a lifetime. You could potentially save thousands of dollars by undergoing Brazilian laser hair removal treatments.

While the treatments can seem like a high initial cost, the longevity of the results means you’ll have minimal ongoing spending to worry about.

To guarantee you pay a fair rate, make sure to review our laser hair removal pricing at SEV. As part of our mission to make smooth skin accessible to all, we’re committed to keeping our service prices fair and reasonable.

5. It Works on All Skin Tones 

With the right equipment, Brazilian laser hair removal can work on all skin tones. Whether your skin is as pale as Dita Von Teese’s, as deep as Lupita Nyong’o’s, or anywhere in between, the right technology will help you see significant hair reduction.

The secret to more inclusive hair removal is dual-wavelength laser systems like the Candela GentleMax Pro and Cynosure EliteIQ used at SEV med spas. 

Both of these machines include two types of lasers: Nd:YAG and Alexandrite. Nd:YAG lasers with a 1084 nm wavelength are an ultra-safe and effective option for those with darker skin tones as they bypass the melanin-holding layers of the skin. Alexandrite lasers with a 755 nm wavelength are exceptional at treating those with lighter skin, usually delivering a higher level of smoothness.

6. It’s an Option for All Genders 

Brazilian laser hair removal is for women, men, and non-binary people. No matter what you’ve got going on your outside or between your legs, you deserve to enjoy the confidence that only Brazilian hair removal can give.

Some clinics call their Brazilian laser hair removal for men treatments “Manzilians,” but at SEV we don’t make distinctions. Gender doesn’t impact how much we charge or how we care for our clients.

7. The Number of Sessions Needed Differs From Person to Person

You probably want to know how many Brazilian laser hair removal treatments you’ll need. Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Results from laser hair removal vary widely from person to person, based on your genetics, hormonal factors, skin tone, and how consistent you are with appointments.

At SEV, we recommend people purchase laser packages of 6 treatments, which we offer for the price of 5. For most clients, that’ll be enough to see significant and sometimes complete hair reduction without forcing you to risk overspending on more treatments than you really need.

8. It’s Not That Painful (Especially at SEV) 

The bikini area is pretty sensitive, but laser hair removal hurts less than its reputation suggests. Most people describe the sensation as a sudden sting that fades almost as fast as it occurs.

With today’s modern machines, even that little pain can disappear altogether.

Some laser systems, including the ones we use SEV, feature cooling mechanisms. The cold air soothes the skin immediately, to significantly mitigate pain.

 

9. Your Confidence Will Sky Rocket

It’s scientifically proven that getting Brazilian laser hair removal can give a major confidence boost. In a 2020 study, researchers found that after undergoing Brazilian laser hair removal, women experienced a significant improvement in self-esteem, body image, and even sexual satisfaction.

10. Some Machines Are Better Than Others 

When choosing a provider for your Brazilian laser hair removal treatments, don’t be afraid to ask about the kind of technologies they use.

We’ve already touched on how dual-wavelength lasers are more inclusive, and how you should look for a med spa that uses cooling-enhanced systems. There are still many studios that use less effective or slightly more painful lasers and IPL machines.

11. It’s Not the Same as Bikini Hair Removal

Bikini line laser hair removal is a quick and easy treatment that targets the hair growing outside and along the panty line. It’s great if your only concern is the hair that could be visible when you’re wearing swimsuit bottoms.

While it’s easy to confuse Brazilian laser hair removal with bikini, the final results are pretty different. Rest assured that no matter how much hair you’d like to remove, SEV is here to support your smoothness goals.

12. Helps With Ingrowns, Razor Burn, and Scarrings

Ingrown hairs, razor bumps, razor burn – shaving can lead to a lot of issues, and waxing isn’t always better. In the long term, you can also experience residual dark spots or scars around your pelvic area, as a result of irritation.

While Brazilian laser hair removal largely targets the hair follicles, it’ll prevent future hair removal damage. Over time, your skin will be able to heal itself and you’ll be able to fade those marks.

To speed the repair process even further, you can try skin repairing or scar-fading effects like SkinPen microneedling.

13. Brazilian By Any Other Name

Our official term for Brazilian laser hair removal at SEV is actually “full bikini.” We feel this better expresses what you can expect from the treatment.

You may also come across the term “Hollywood” laser hair removal, which generally means full hair removal from the pubic area. If your local salon offers both Hollywood and Brazilian laser hair removals, the implication is that their Brazilian treatment leaves behind a strip of hair.

14. You Can Start Getting Treated ASAP

The sooner you start getting laser hair removal treatments, the sooner you’ll achieve hair free skin! If you’ve always wanted to be perfectly smooth down there without irritation, marks, or ingrown hairs, go ahead and book an appointment at your nearest SEV med spa. You’re guaranteed an elevated treatment experience at a reasonable price.
