I am planning on buying a Brazilian bikini package. My goal is complete (or as close to it as possible) removal in most areas but I want to keep a little hair in the front. I don’t want it to be dense or coarse like it is now. I would like a triangle of finer, less dense hair. Is that possible and if so, how do I achieve that? Should the settings be lower in the area I want some hair left or should I do fewer treatments? I don’t want a patch with hair there a few months out of the year! Does this make sense?
There is no way to guarantee this. You can try any of the things you mentioned, but you have to be prepared to get results you don’t necessarily want. If you do this, I would only do it with a Yag laser which mostly affects only the very coarse hair.
I wouldn’t buy a package until you’re sure the clinic can get you results. I would pay for one treatment and decide from there whether to buy a package at that clinic.
I have to use a Yag since I have darkish skin. But as much as my skin it tan, my hair is way more coarse and black. Well, maybe others have personal experience? I didn’t find much on this topic.
The Mature section of the forum has lots of information on previous poster’s experience in this area.
It’s like LAGirl said, it’s really tough to get what you want unless someone is really good and is very careful at what they’re doing. The reason it’s hard is because any area of your body has a mix of all hair types, coarse, light, fine etc. Even in your pubic area where it looks all dark and coarse, there’s still blonde or light hairs in there or finer ones as well. The thing you want to avoid is having the laser remove all the dark coarse hair, and then leaving you with the thinner finer hair that might be spaced out more which would instead leave you looking like you were going bald or something. The issue I find with laser and reduction is that the results you’re left with don’t always look natural. For example, I’ve done 3 sessions on my forearms. They were average in terms of hair, typical male I’d say. I don’t have any good before pictures, but I have some from a party a year ago I found that show it enough. Let me post 2 photos before, a before and one 8 weeks after my second treatment. You can see from the photos how the hair is coming back, it’s spread out all over the place, which would look really weird in a pubic area. I’ve done a 3rd treatment since, that was about 8 weeks ago again now but my arms are still completely smooth and I’ll upload that picture too. Just signing up for photobucket right now!
EDIT: Check the main forum, I’ll post them in a new thread so other people can see them as well!
Saw them. Thanks edokid.
James, I did read through the mature section. Not a whole lot on this topic and def not photos that I saw on this issue. Thanks though. It took me a while to realize there was a separate “mature” section.
