Deep bikini hair removal – what is it?
Nowadays, removing unwanted hair on the body has become an absolutely common process for most women. Hair growing in the intimate area causes a lot of inconvenience and aesthetic discomfort.
Most beauty salons today offer a range of services for hair removal in the intimate area. It is worth noting that there are several types of depilation of delicate areas, including:
- classical;
- deep;
- Brazilian.
They all differ in execution technique and final result.
Classic bikini
It is the most common, suitable for every day. It is he who is preferred by the majority of the fairer sex. It involves eliminating hair under the thong so that the end result is not visible from under the edges of the underwear.
This procedure is usually performed with wax, as it provides the most long-lasting effect and is suitable for most skin types. A classic bikini is easy to make at home, and you can use different methods - shaving with a regular razor, heated wax, depilator or sugar paste.
Deep bikini
Deep bikini depilation is the removal of unwanted hair not only in the pubic area, but also on the inner thighs and labia. Partial hair is removed in the fold between the buttocks.
Many women also know this procedure under the name Brazilian bikini, or rather, they confuse these two procedures. In fact, there are several differences.
Brazilian bikini
It is also called total, since the removal of hair follicles is carried out in the pubic area, labia, in the fold between the buttocks, on the buttocks themselves and on the inner thighs.
Most often, this type of procedure is used by models, actresses, as well as lovers of intimate haircuts and just girls who often spend time on the beaches.

- Depilation with a machine or electric depilator is guaranteed to cause irritation , redness and dryness of the skin.
- Depilation with cream can cause allergic reactions to its components.
- Waxing often causes ingrown hairs .
- Sugaring can cause redness and flaking of the skin.
- Depilation using hardware methods if the technique is not performed correctly can cause hematomas , burns, hyperpigmentation and provoke an exacerbation of inflammatory processes in the body.
More about the procedure
Deep epilation of the bikini area involves hair removal not only in the area of the underwear line, but also in more intimate places. Therefore, it is morally necessary to prepare for the fact that this procedure will bring few pleasant sensations. On the contrary, many women refuse such beauty measures, since hair removal brings them not only discomfort, but also severe, sharp pain.
There are many nerve endings in the intimate area, which implies an effect on nerve receptors, resulting in pain and discomfort. In addition, the skin in this area is especially thin and delicate.
However, in the modern age of technology, more friendly options for combating unwanted vegetation have been invented. Therefore, each representative of the fairer sex can choose the most suitable option.
Most often, wax hair removal is performed in the intimate area, since the effect lasts quite a long time, the procedure itself does not take very much time, and the amount of irritation is much less than when using a razor. In addition, in the process of regular waxing, the hair becomes significantly smaller, and its structure becomes thinner, as a result, the procedure gradually becomes less painful, and the result becomes more effective.
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 deep bikini area - types and methods
A deep bikini is a rather delicate area that tends to develop irritation after hair removal. Thanks to modern technology, today there are several ways to combat unwanted vegetation in this area.
Depending on the skin type, the severity of the situation and requirements, everyone will be able to choose the most suitable option. Beauty salons provide a list of services, among which you can often see a deep bikini, while the methods of performing the procedure also differ. Which option is better to choose, and how do they differ?
Deep bikini waxing
Today, fighting unwanted hair with heated wax is one of the most popular, effective and frequently used methods.
During the procedure, heated wax is used, which, while hardening, glues the hairs to a special strip, and when removed, they are pulled out along with the bulbs.
The procedure can be carried out either at home or seek help from a specialist - in a beauty salon. When using heated wax yourself, mistakes are often made that affect the final result. In addition, when removing hair in the labia area and in the fold between the buttocks, visibility is significantly reduced, which also adversely affects the effectiveness of the procedure.
Waxing has many advantages, among which it is worth highlighting:
- duration of effect (on average about 3-4 weeks);
- complete hair removal along with hair follicles;
- minimal amount of irritation;
- the duration of the procedure itself.
Of course, this method also has disadvantages, which include possible ingrown hairs and pain. Some girls who have a low pain threshold cannot withstand this procedure at all, since the pain in the intimate area is particularly intense. If you have no experience, it is better not to save money and go to a beauty salon.
Skin care after laser hair removal
After completing each individual procedure from the general laser hair removal course, you will need some care at home. For example, over the next 24 hours it is forbidden to wet the treated area with water, and the use of washcloths and detergents should be avoided for 48 hours.
You will also have to use a special cream on the area to be epilated, the purpose of which is to soothe the skin and prevent possible inflammation. Visiting the sauna should be postponed for at least 3 days after hair removal, but going to the solarium or the beach will need to be postponed even longer - at least two weeks.
Deep bikini hair removal - modern methods
Today, there are more loyal and modern methods for removing hair in the intimate area. The most popular include:
- Photoepilation. The destructive effect on hair follicles is due to flashes of light. The source of these flashes is a krypton lamp. Essentially, the procedure itself is painless, but may cause slight discomfort. The disadvantage of photoepilation is that the effect of ideal skin is achieved only after several procedures, and not every woman can afford the cost.
- Laser hair removal. The destruction of follicles occurs locally using a targeted laser. Today, they have already begun to produce laser epilators intended for independent use at home. The procedure is also not cheap. Moreover, laser beams have no effect on vellus hair, which is a disadvantage for many.
- Elos hair removal. This is a combination of optical and electrical effects on hair follicles. It is considered the most effective, but very expensive.
In addition, the hardware method for removing unwanted vegetation has contraindications:
- acute forms of dermatitis and other skin diseases;
- hypertension;
- varicose veins;
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- theriotoxicosis;
- oncological diseases.
Doctors do not recommend using hardware methods to combat excess hair in the intimate area until the age of 16-18, until the menstrual cycle has stabilized.
Gynecologists also advise against this option if an intrauterine device is installed.
Photoepilation
The principle of operation of this method is as follows: a cream is applied to the body, which has the effect of ultraviolet radiation. The hair is saturated with light, which destroys the follicle.
Due to this, the hairline dies off after some time. Using these steps, you can perform hair removal on hair of any shade.
Pros:
- Good efficiency.
- Carrying out the procedure anywhere.
- Lack of hair regrowth for up to 4 months.
- No pain.
- Protection against skin burns.
- Speed of execution.
Minuses:
- The desired result is not always available to those with blonde hair.
- The need for multiple sessions.
- The appearance of burns or wounds on the body if the qualifications of the master leave much to be desired.
- Possible peeling of the treated area of skin.
Deep bikini depilation - reviews
There are many reviews on the Internet about this procedure, which vary depending on the chosen method of hair removal and the conditions under which the procedure is carried out.
- Olga, 31 years old:
“For the third year now, I have been removing hair in the deep bikini area using heated wax. I do the procedure in the salon, as it is of higher quality, and the result lasts longer. And it’s more convenient this way, because I can’t get to certain intimate places myself. Over the course of three years, I can note that the pain in this area during the procedure has decreased, but the duration of the result has become a little longer. Initially, the effect lasted for 3 weeks, but now it lasts almost a month and a half.”
- Christina, 26 years old:
“I do deep bikini sugaring in a beauty salon. I’ve already had the procedure four times, and each time I’m more and more happy with the final result. The first time was very painful, but the effect of perfect skin lasted almost a month. I couldn’t shave my hair so perfectly with a machine, and I had to do it much more often. If possible, do not skimp on your beauty and better consult a specialist.”
- Victoria, 24 years old:
“I’m a model by profession, so deep bikini hair removal is the norm for me. I do it in the salon. I used to do it with heated wax, but now I prefer sugaring. I liked this option because the effect is much better and there are fewer ingrown hairs. In addition, the procedure is not so painful. True, as for me, using sugar paste is not very convenient and pleasant to remove hair in the area between the buttocks. I don’t recommend doing this procedure yourself at home.”
- Tanya, 29 years old:
“I have always struggled with excess hair using a machine or trimmer attachment. Having received a certificate to a beauty salon as a gift, I decided to try what kind of deep bikini procedure it was. Mentally, I was not prepared for the fact that it would hurt so much, also in such intimate places. But the result surprised me. Even my husband said it was worth it. I think that I will continue to use this procedure in the future. It’s not very expensive, and the effect lasts a month.”
