Deep bikini: what it means, where the hair is removed, how it is done (deep bikini depilation at home and in the salon)

Deep bikini area: what is it?

Some women prefer to remove hair only in visible areas along the panty line. This is a classic option. Epilation and deep bikini depilation refers to the removal of hair from all intimate places. This includes the pubis, the outer labia, and the area between the buttocks.

Before removing unwanted hair in the deep bikini area, it is important to understand what hair removal and depilation are. Epilation gives a long-term effect for several months or even years. However, it is carried out only in salons. Depilation is characterized by short-term results. It can be carried out either by a specialist or by the woman herself at home without any help.

Is hair removed permanently after laser hair removal?

For many people, both men and women, a course of laser hair removal of a total bikini (with the pubis and intergluteal area) ends with the desired result - hair from intimate places disappears forever.

However, this effect is not observed in every case, and often several more sessions may be required after a year. However, the hair will never be as coarse again, and for those with light hair, the thin hairs that have grown back will become completely invisible.

Epilation of the bikini area in the salon

Electrolysis

Electrolysis, which is one of the ways to remove unwanted vegetation, is done using a thin sterile needle. The specialist inserts it into each hair canal to a depth of 1 to 5 mm. Next, an electric current is applied to the needle. It destroys the hair follicle.

Electrolysis takes place within 30 minutes. To completely remove hair from the deep bikini area, you need to visit the salon several times for 10–15 procedures. The disadvantages of bikini hair removal are that with a deep bikini, pain is felt, and the procedure also has contraindications - skin diseases that occur in acute and chronic forms, malignant neoplasms, etc. A complete list of contraindications can be obtained from the specialist in the salon.

Photoepilation

Another technique for removing unwanted hair, called photoepilation, uses high-pulse light. Under its influence, hair follicles die and hair falls off. However, it is important to understand that photoepilation also has contraindications (skin diseases, neoplasms, etc.). Also, this procedure is not suitable for people with blond and red hair. Photoepilation, which is done in such cases, turns out to be ineffective or does not give any result at all.

Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal of deep bikini is very popular. This method is based on the effect of laser radiation on hair follicles. Women do not face discomfort, pain and negative consequences in the form of pustules, injuries, scars, microburns. Laser hair removal, like photoepilation, is not done if there are contraindications and is not suitable for people with blond, gray and red hair.

All bikini hair removal methods that create an ideal deep bikini are non-contact, which means that their use eliminates the possibility of infection.

Contraindications

There are reasons why a master may refuse to perform a procedure. There are few of them, but each serves as a serious reason not to undergo surgery.

Depilation of the intimate area is not worth it if:

there are viral, bacterial or mechanical lesions on the skin;
papillomas, warts or formations of unknown origin;
diabetes;
problems with the cardiovascular system;
psoriasis;
oncology;
varicose veins;
pregnancy and lactation;
severe allergic reactions;
laser peeling performed less than a year ago.

There are many different techniques for intimate depilation. Which one to choose, permanent or temporary, everyone decides for themselves. It doesn’t matter whether the procedure is performed at home or in a salon, it is important to follow precautions and after-care recommendations. Then the effect will be long-lasting, and the result will bring joy.

Depilation

For hair removal with wax or sugar paste, you can contact the salon. A specially trained master will quickly and effectively remove hair. In such cases, the likelihood of undesirable consequences (the appearance of ingrown hairs, irritation) is low. If desired, you can use wax and paste at home. Do not also forget that there is an easier way of depilation - shaving.

Shaving

The oldest way to combat unwanted hair at home is shaving. It remains popular despite the availability of other methods of hair removal and depilation of the deep bikini area. Women choose shaving for several reasons:

This is a budget option. To remove hair, you need a razor, shaving gel (for sensitive skin), and aftershave cream.
There is no discomfort or pain during shaving.
This method of hair removal allows you to frequently change your intimate haircut.

Disadvantages of shaving:

Skin looks smooth in just a few days. Quite quickly, hair begins to grow on it, and a small stubble appears, which causes discomfort.
When women do hair removal this way, they encounter a number of problems (cuts, pustules, ingrown hairs).

Shaving seems like a simple method of removing unwanted hair, but even in this case, it is important to understand that it needs to be done at home correctly:

It is advisable to warm up the razor before the procedure. This can be done by immersing it in warm water for a few minutes. A warm razor glides over the skin easier and removes hair better.
It is useful to take a warm bath or shower before bikini epilation, because water in a deep bikini helps to expand the pores. Steamed skin absorbs shaving and aftershave products better.
You cannot shave hair against its growth. It sounds strange, but, as it turns out, following this recommendation is the key to the absence of ingrown hairs.

Waxing

If shaving provokes severe irritation, and you cannot use deep epilation of the bikini area in a salon using hardware techniques due to contraindications, then you can try waxing on yourself.
This is what wax depilation is called. Film wax is suitable for this procedure. Necessary additional accessories – wax melter, spatula. Waxing includes several stages:

The wax is melted to a creamy, homogeneous consistency. Check its temperature before use. To do this, apply a small amount of the product to the inside of the wrist.
The prepared wax is applied to the skin in the deep bikini area with a spatula, leaving a small “petal”. This will remove the resulting film.
Wait a little while the product hardens on the skin. This takes a few seconds.
For a deep bikini, remove the film from the treated area with a sharp jerk. They do not pull upward, but parallel to the skin at a slight acute angle.

A deep bikini must be properly prepared before the procedure. It is recommended to take a shower or bath. The hair follicles will become more pliable. Additionally, talc or powder will be useful. This product increases the effectiveness of depilation, because it removes excess moisture from the skin and better adheres the depilatory mass to the body. Talc and powder also protect the skin from irritation.

To ensure that the procedure is successful and a number of problems do not arise, after depilation is completed, the deep bikini area should be treated with oil. The significance of this product is that it eliminates redness, effectively removes wax residues, and softens the skin. Any vegetable oil (olive, almond) is suitable for treating the intimate area. You can use a product with mint. This component has a cooling effect, which means it relieves pain.

The advantage of the wax procedure is the effective removal of excess hair from the desired area with a deep bikini. The skin looks soft and soft for a long time. You will need to wax again 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Another plus is that waxing is quick. The procedure takes about 20 minutes. Only at first, hair removal may take approximately 40–60 minutes.

The disadvantages of this method are pain (the intimate area is the most sensitive on the human body) and the need to grow hair (the procedure can be carried out if the hair length is at least 0.5 cm).

Sugaring

Depilation using sugar paste is called sugaring. This procedure is a popular method of removing unwanted vegetation.

To carry out sugaring yourself, you need to buy medium-density sugar paste. A soft product is not suitable because the hair in the intimate area is coarse. They make a deep bikini at home using sugar in almost the same way as using wax:

Sugar is heated in a wax melter or in a water bath to the desired temperature (50–55 degrees). It is not recommended to put the product in the microwave. With this method of heating, it loses its properties.
The skin in the intimate area is treated with lotion intended for use before depilation. This procedure must be done carefully so that the mucous membrane is not affected. After the lotion, use talc.
The prepared sugar is applied to the skin in a thin layer. Next, a bandage (special strip) is applied and a tear is performed. To remove hair in the deep bikini area, no more than 15 strips, divided into halves, are required. One bandage can remove the paste from the skin up to 3 times.
After the procedure at home, a deep bikini is treated with an emulsion to relieve irritation.

One of the advantages of sugaring is that depilation is done using a natural remedy. It contains sugar, lemon juice and water. If you wish, you can even make your own pasta at home. Another plus is that sugar is easily washed off the body with warm water.

The main disadvantage of sugaring is pain. However, the pain becomes less severe with each procedure.

Waxing or sugaring: features of implementation

It is impossible to say which procedure is more effective. It is important to understand that everything depends on the characteristics of a particular person, as well as on whether deep bikini depilation products are used correctly.

Wax is applied according to hair growth and removed against hair growth. Sugar paste is used differently. It is applied against hair growth, and tearing is performed in the direction of hair growth. If the technique is not followed, you may encounter a number of problems - displacement of follicles, incorrect subsequent hair growth.

Sugaring

Sugar depilation has been known to women since ancient times. This method is the most gentle and effective for removing unwanted hair. The following advantages can be highlighted:

ease of use at home;
efficiency;
can be used by women with sensitive skin;
There are only natural ingredients that are absolutely safe for health.

To prepare sugar paste for depilation, take the following ingredients:

Sugar (10 tbsp.)
Lemon juice (from half a citrus).
Water (1 tbsp).

Mix everything thoroughly and heat over low heat. The finished mass should become homogeneous and change color to golden brown. Boil for 10 minutes, then cool the paste until it becomes viscous and viscous. After you have prepared the working solution, you can proceed to the main steps:

Apply sugar paste evenly along the hairline over the desired surface of the skin;
Place a strip of cotton material on top (leave a free edge on one side);
after the fabric sticks, sharply pull the edge against hair growth;
Rinse off any remaining product with water.

It is better to treat the bikini area in small areas, as the most delicate skin is there. And to avoid redness, the movements to remove the strips must be clear and strictly against hair growth.

other methods

Women in pursuit of beauty try a variety of ways to remove unwanted hair, including an epilator.
This is a special electrical device with a rotating head. After using it, the skin looks smooth. However, there is one significant drawback - the painfulness of the procedure. During this process, the hair is pulled out by the roots. To make using the epilator less painful, it is recommended to use products with a cooling effect. Emla cream is also suitable for reducing the pain threshold. It includes a local anesthetic intended for superficial anesthesia. The cream is sold only in pharmacies.

Wax strips are another method that replaces classic wax hair removal. Its main advantage is simplicity. Women are advised to buy the best strips. The most popular products are from brands such as Veet, Lady Caramel, Deep Depil. Instructions for use are simple:

cut the strips, adjusting them to the required sizes;
warm the tapes in your hands for no longer than 15 seconds;
remove the protective part and glue the strip to the skin, observing the correct direction (along the hair growth);
smooth the tape so that the composition that is included in it is evenly distributed;
wait a while and sharply remove the strip against hair growth;
treat the skin so as not to encounter a number of problems after hair removal.

Cream

The cream is the most painless way to remove unnecessary vegetation. Some believe that depilatory cream can replace expensive salon treatments.

Benefits of bikini area depilation with cream:

price. The cream costs from 200 to 500 rubles, which is much cheaper than salon procedures;
depilatory cream can be used to treat any area, so one tube is a universal product for the whole body;
The procedure time does not exceed 30 minutes, which is very convenient compared to other procedures;
The skin is not injured during this type of hair removal, there is no likelihood of any damage;
With regular use of the cream, the hair becomes thinner.

But despite all the advantages, not everyone resorts to this particular method of depilation. If you have very coarse dark hair, the cream simply will not take it and you will have to go through such areas with a razor again. There is also a possibility of skin allergies in girls who have an individual intolerance to the components.

This method of getting rid of hair is very convenient, but before you begin depilation in such a sensitive area, you need to check the skin's reaction to the depilatory cream.

Epilation and depilation of a deep bikini: pros and cons

Women, like specialists, cannot give a single answer to the question of whether bikini hair removal is worth it, because with a deep bikini you can encounter both positive and negative sides of this procedure. Fans of removing excess vegetation claim the following benefits:

sweating decreases, which means that the feeling of discomfort that previously tormented disappears;
the unpleasant odor goes away;
sexual relationships improve;
you have the opportunity to wear the underwear you like and enter the pool hall or go to the beach without fear or embarrassment.

Adherents of conservative views do not recommend getting rid of hair in the intimate area for several reasons:

hair located on the pubis and labia prevents pathogenic bacteria from entering the vagina and helps retain heat;
depilation and epilation of bikini (deep bikini) provoke the occurrence of some problems (the appearance of pustules and irritation, ingrown hair).

Removing hair from a deep bikini is a delicate procedure, so each woman must decide for herself whether to remove hair from this area or not. You also need to choose the method of hair removal and depilation yourself. Each person’s body is different, so it is recommended to try out all possible options and choose the most suitable one, focusing on your sensitivity and significant results.

Preparation

Depilation in the genital area requires appropriate preparation. The first thing a beginner needs to do is visit a trichologist. The doctor will assess the condition of the skin and hair and recommend the optimal wax product. Before using wax, you must perform an allergy test on a small area of skin.

Preparation for the procedure consists of the following steps:

The day before, the skin is cleansed of dead epithelial cells using a soft scrub intended for sensitive skin or face. Moisturizing with a rich cream will relax the skin and soften the hair follicles. This will make the procedure less painful.
If possible, take a hot bath immediately before epilation to warm up the skin.
Hairs are carefully trimmed if they are longer than 11 mm. The optimal length is 4-6 mm.

On the day of hair removal, do not use cosmetics for hygiene of the bikini area: lotions, tonics, creams.

Photoepilation

Photoepilation, unlike other types of hair removal, can permanently remove unnecessary hair in just a few sessions. Epilation with a photoepilator is very painful, especially in intimate places. Before starting the process, it is necessary to prepare and numb the area. To do this, an anesthetic cream is applied to the intimate area, which reduces discomfort.

This hair removal method appeared relatively recently, so not everyone knows how it works. During photoepilation, the skin is exposed to light waves. Under the influence of flashes of light, hair follicles begin to collapse. After the first procedure, about 25 percent of hair disappears.

The session lasts about 20 minutes, but it is worth remembering some rules before starting photoepilation.

Hair is not removed the first time. Be prepared for the fact that at first you will have to grow your hair to a certain length. You will not leave the specialist with absolutely smooth skin, as, for example, after waxing. To achieve results, about 8 procedures are required. There are a large number of contraindications, so first of all you should consult your doctor.

After the procedure, you cannot sunbathe, swim in the pool, or visit the bathhouse or sauna for 5 days. This time is necessary for the skin to recover. There are a large number of contraindications, so first of all you should consult your doctor.
