Introduction 

It seems that, no matter how often we get a wax in Singapore or when we last shaved, the area never quite has a smooth, flawless appearance. Whether razor burn, ingrown hairs, or stubble growing back from the morning’s shave cause the flaws, they tend to be most noticeable at the least convenient times. Everything appears decent enough in the mirror at home, but the sunlight on the beach always reveals the spots we missed or forgot altogether. It’s because of this that many women become interested in laser hair removal, and more often than not, they start with the pubic region. While there are many ladies in Singapore who are still doing Brazilian waxing, many of them have since transited to Brazilian hair removal due to less discomfort and the promise of permanent hair removal – in this way, there is no need to make repeated trips for brazilian waxing!

Brazilian hair removal or bikini laser hair removal?

This ultimately leads to the big question: Brazilian hair removal or bikini laser hair removal? To figure out which hair removal option is better for you, Wellaholic has provided an overview of each option below. Read out to find out more!

“Brazilian laser hair removal is the most thorough way to achieve smooth, long-lasting results, while a Bikini laser treatment offers a more precise approach for those looking for targeted hair removal.”

What’s the Difference Between Brazilian and Bikini Laser Hair Removal?

Difference Between Brazilian and Bikini Hair Removal 

Many women do not know the difference between a bikini line treatment and a Brazilian. The two two hair removal methods are similar, so it understandingly causes a bit of confusion. Since the subject can be embarrassing to discuss, women tend to research it beforehand instead of asking their laser hair removal technician at the hair removal salons on what the difference is.

The Bikini Line Hair Removal

The area that lies outside of the panty line is considered the bikini line. A bikini line laser hair removal treatment typically covers up to three inches beyond this line, ensuring a flawless look in panties or a bikini. It often also addresses some areas that underwear covers, such as the sides of the labia and top of the pubic region, but this is up to the client. Bikini waxing is the removal of pubic hair using a special wax, which can be hot or cold, that adheres to hairs and pulls them out when the wax is removed quickly from the skin, usually with a cloth strip. This is similar for bikini hair removal too.

The Brazilian Hair Removal

A Brazilian laser hair removal treatment includes more area than a bikini treatment because it includes the labia and perianal areas as well, and removes all unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles. This option leaves women completely bare with smooth skin, but often those who choose Brazilian treatments opt to keep some hair in the pubic region, such as a landing strip. Either option can be customised to fit what you’re looking for.

Full Bikini Laser Hair Removal vs Brazilian

All women know the bikini zone is one of the most troubling laser hair removal areas because most hair removal methods whether its brazilian wax, or brazilian laser hair removal, seem to cause more problems than they solve. Laser hair removal on the bikini line will create a smooth, flawless appearance and prevent stubble from growing back and the irritation that other hair removal methods cause.

Those who choose this option or hair removal methods will still need to maintain the area, however. It will require less maintenance than before but more than if you chose the Brazilian hair removal option, which will permanently eliminate all hair follicles in the pubic region.

Please see the table below which compares the differences between Brazilian and Bikini laser hair removal:

Why Brazilian Hair Removal?

Wellaholic’s SHR permanent hair removal takes the process to a whole new level. Once the hair has been removed it’s as if there was never any body hair to begin with. These laser hair removal  or laser treatment procedures are our most popular because many women love the idea of not having to worry about bikini bumps and ingrown hairs, and just love that fresh clean feeling every single day of the year. Not having to waste time every morning or repeatedly paying for temporary solutions like waxing (at places such as Strip Singapore or Sugared) are key reasons why Brazilian laser hair removal has become very popular at Wellaholic.

How to Prepare for a Brazilian Hair Removal Treatment

How to Get Ready for a Brazilian Hair Removal Treatment. So you’ve decided to get a Brazilian hair removal treatment. Good for you! It’s a great way to feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. But before you go, there are some things you need to know to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Prep Your Skin Beforehand. Next, you want to avoid sun exposure and exfoliate the area that will be waxed. This will help the wax stick better to the hair and make it easier to remove. It will also reduce the pain and irritation. You should do this a day or two before your appointment.

Tell the Technician About Any Medications. Finally, you should tell the technician if you’re taking any medications that could affect the treatment. Some medications can make your skin more sensitive or prone to bleeding. For example, if you’re on blood thinners or antibiotics, you might want to wait until you’re done with them before getting a Brazilian hair removal treatment.

How to Take Care of Your Skin After a Brazilian Hair Removal Treatment. You did it! You got a Brazilian hair removal treatment and now you have smooth, hair-free skin. But don’t forget to take care of your skin after the treatment. Here are some tips to follow:

Avoid Sun Exposure and Hot Baths. For 24 hours after your treatment, you should avoid sun exposure and hot baths. This will help your skin heal faster and prevent any infections or burns. You should also wear loose-fitting clothing that won’t rub against your skin.

Apply an Antiseptic Lotion. You should also apply an antiseptic lotion to the area that was waxed. This will soothe your skin and help prevent ingrown hairs. You can find these lotions at any drugstore or beauty store.

Enjoy Your Smooth Skin. With proper preparation and aftercare, you can enjoy your smooth, hair-free skin for weeks at a time. You’ll feel more confident and comfortable in any situation. Just remember to book your next appointment before the hair grows back too much.

Brazilian and Bikini Laser Hair Removal for Different Skin and Hair Types

If you’re considering Brazilian or bikini laser hair removal, it’s important to know that the effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on your skin and hair type. Here are some factors to keep in mind:

Skin Type

• Lighter skin tends to respond better to laser hair removal
• Darker skin tones may require special lasers or settings to avoid damage to the skin

Hair Type

• Dark, thick hair responds best to laser hair removal
• Blonde, gray, or red hair may not respond as well

It’s also important to note that everyone’s experience with laser hair removal is different. Some people may require more treatments or touch-ups than others. It’s best to consult with a licensed professional to determine if laser hair removal is a good option for you and what type of treatment plan is best suited for your skin and hair type.

Aftercare for Hair Removal

Typically, the process of laser hair removal can take around six months with appointments every four to six weeks. At Wellaholic, we advocate doing it every 28 days (approximately) to time it with the hair growth cycle. It is not unusual to see some results from the beginning. It takes 10 to 14 days for hair to start falling out.  Still, it takes more sessions to have hair totally eliminated. Exfoliating in the shower with a sugar scrub will help speed along the process. Also, always remember to avoid sun exposure, especially if you have sensitive skin or darker skin tones. 

Here’s a table that explains the different steps of aftercare after a laser hair removal session:

Steps of Aftercare	Description
Clean the treated area	– Use mild soap and water – Clean the treated area to remove any residue or debris – Avoid using hot water and rough cloths to prevent irritation
