Summary
Brazilian laser targets hair along the bikini line and pubic area using concentrated light absorbed by hair pigment, which disables follicles over a series of sessions. Dermatology bodies note bikini area treatment is common and safe when performed by qualified clinicians, with multiple sessions needed and strict sun avoidance before and after treatment. We follow a modesty-first protocol, thorough hygiene, and a mandatory test patch before your first full session.
Key takeaways
- Bikini and pubic area laser is a standard indication in dermatology guidance, typical courses require multiple sessions for reduction, not instant permanence.
- A test patch precedes any first full session to check your skin response and tailor parameters.
- Prep matters: shave, do not wax or pluck, avoid sun and fake tan, arrive with clean, product-free skin.
- Protect from sun afterward and follow heat-avoidance guidance to reduce side effects.
What “Brazilian” covers, styles we perform
Brazilian laser focuses on hair in the pubic region, including the bikini line and labial mound, with options for shape or near-full clearance while leaving a natural strip if desired. Bikini-area treatment is routinely listed among common laser sites in dermatology references, which is why we pair it with strict safety checks and aftercare.

Hygiene and pre-treatment checklist
- Shave the area 24 hours before, leave stubble under the skin surface, do not wax, pluck, or thread for weeks before treatment.
- No lotions, deodorant, perfumes, or self-tan on treatment day, arrive freshly washed and dry.
- Avoid sun and tanning beds, artificial and natural tanning increase risks and can delay treatment.
Bring your medication list, particularly antibiotics, acne meds, or photosensitizers. These steps align with major clinical resources, which also recommend shaving rather than epilating before laser.

Why we require a test patch
Before the first full session, we perform a test patch to assess skin response, document baseline photos, and personalize fluence, pulse duration, and cooling. NHS centers explicitly require this step for safety and efficacy planning.
Sessions, spacing, and expectations
Most patients need a series of treatments, not one, with results building over time. Dermatology guidance commonly cites 2–6+ sessions, often spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for many areas, with exact intervals tailored to growth rate. Maintenance may be needed.
For a deeper dive into how intervals vary by body site, see the overview in Laser Hair Removal in Dubai, and our wavelength comparison cluster above.
Pain, cooling, and comfort
You will feel brief snaps or heat. We use contact cooling and chilled air, with topical numbing in select cases on sensitive skin. AAD notes numbing gels are sometimes used for small, sensitive areas and reinforces professional oversight to reduce risks.
Aftercare in Dubai’s climate
Protect the area from sun, use cool compresses if needed, and follow heat-avoidance guidance for pools, hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for a short period. NHS patient leaflets advise extended heat avoidance for several days in some settings, while dermatology bodies universally emphasize strict sun protection after treatment.
Who should wait or avoid for now
Pregnancy, recent tanning, active infections, or strong photosensitizing medications are common reasons to postpone, discuss your history with your clinician. Cleveland Clinic also lists conditions like HSV-2, history of keloids, or skin cancer as considerations.
