How it Works and What To Expect
At Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness, we specialize in laser hair removal treatments personalized for each patient’s unique needs.
Our experienced team of aestheticians understands that when it comes to a sensitive area like the bikini line, you want to ensure the treatment is comfortable, effective, and delivers the results you expect.
In this post, we will share what typical Brazilian laser hair removal results look like after 3 treatment sessions.
Brazilian Laser Hair Removal
A Brazilian laser hair removal treatment uses laser technology to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth in the bikini area and buttocks. During treatment, laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles, disabling their ability to regrow.
At Ethos Wellness & Aesthetics, we use advanced diode lasers designed specifically for permanent hair reduction. Diode lasers emit a precise wavelength of light that targets melanin in the hair, while sparing surrounding skin.
Treatments are tailored to each patient’s hair color, thickness, and sensitivity. Our laser technicians adjust settings throughout the process for optimal results.
What to Expect After Your First Session
During your first brazilian laser hair removal session, the technician will target active hair follicles in the anogen or growth phase. Here is what you can expect:
- You may feel some tingling or a rubber band snapping sensation as the laser pulses.
- The treatment area will be red and swollen directly afterwards. This typically resolves within a few hours.
- Any shaved hairs will shed within 7-14 days.
- Remaining hairs in the treatment area will enter the shedding phase and fall out over 2-3 weeks.
- Results after the first session vary based on individual factors like hair thickness. Many patients see a 10-25% reduction in hair density.
After 2 Brazilian Laser Sessions
During your second treatment 4-6 weeks later, our technicians will target hair follicles that have entered the active growth phase since the first session. Here is what you can expect:
- The treatment will remain comfortable but become easier as fewer hairs receive laser pulses.
- Redness and swelling continue to subside within hours.
- You will notice less hair regrowth compared to before your first treatment.
- Hair shedding occurs within 2-3 weeks.
- Most patients see a 50-75% reduction in hair density after 2 sessions.
Results After 3 Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Treatments
After your third laser session, you should see very significant results with a major reduction in hair regrowth. Here is what to expect:
- Overall hair density decreases by 75-90% for most patients.
- Any hairs that do regrow are finer and lighter in color.
- The bikini area remains smoother for 4-6 weeks until the next session.
- You may only need occasional touch-up treatments going forward.
- Patients report feeling silky smooth, sexy, and more confident about wearing swimsuits.
How Long Do the Results Last?
With a course of 4-6 treatments, our medical-grade diode laser can achieve up to 90% permanent hair reduction in the bikini area. However, results do vary by individual.
Maintenance sessions are needed 1-2 times per year as hormones fluctuate and dormant follicles may reactivate. Staying on a regular treatment schedule reduces the need for frequent touch-ups.
We recommend scheduling follow-up appointments every 4-6 months to target any remaining stubborn hairs. This ensures you maintain your smooth, stubble-free results long-term.
