What You Need To Know About Bikini Waxes

By Norm Chasten


With the big emphasis these days on sexiness and smaller and smaller summer wear and bathing suits, there is a lot of emphasis also on removing hair from the bikini line area. Especially if a woman is sexually active, she wants to make sure that she looks good all over and we can tell from on line searches, television programs, and magazine articles that this is a concern.

To remove hair from the bikini line area, a number of different methods can be used. There are certain creams and lotions that can be tried. But clearly it is waxing that is the number one choice for smoothness and complete removal that lasts for quite a long time. Of course it will grow back eventually and is a bit painful at the start but that lessens as you get used to the process.

While temporary hair removal methods are very popular, some people prefer to go the permanent route. A licensed dermatologist will be able to answer any questions you might have about laser hair removal. It is of utmost importance that you get all the information that you need to make an informed decision.

The Brazilian bikini wax is the much more preferred method among such women that eradicates all the hair from all sides of the pubis. Usually, a strip of hair is left by women if they opt for keeping some of the hair, known as a 'landing strip', but sometimes, women want it all bare and clean and go for the Brazilian full wax that is commonly called the 'Hollywood' wax.

A disadvantage of waxing is that is typically painful. If you decide to go for a Brazilian wax job, be aware that you may need to take a pain reliever, such as paracetamol, beforehand. When rated on a pain scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, many people find that a wax is in the 3-5 range.

Then there is a topical anesthesia that can be obtained from the doctor and applied perhaps forty five minutes prior to having the procedure done. An additional way to reduce pain is to request that the one doing the waxing not do large patches of skin at once but instead to use smaller wax strips on little bits of skin at a time.

Cost can be another drawback to Brazilian waxing. A regular bikini wax can often be purchased for perhaps $15. But the Brazilians are costly and can even be priced at $120 in spas and salons. It will have some relation to where the spa is located, what kind of products they use, and the relative wealth of the clients it caters to. You can expect more expensive procedures in higher end areas.

You can experience side effects from a Brazilian wax, and these may be things like burns, rashes, or red bumps. In addition there can be ingrown hair and pain that does not go away immediately. These are usually inconsequential and there are balms to soothe them. One sort of ointment is a cortisone cream that relieves irritation pretty quickly.
