Before the Treatment

Consultation process

The consultation process begins with meeting a licensed practitioner at The Moore Center Med Spa. During this session, you'll discuss your medical history and skin type to ensure the treatment is safe for you. 

The practitioner will evaluate your hair color and thickness, as these factors influence the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Based on this assessment, they'll determine a suitable treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. 

This is also your opportunity to address any concerns or questions you may have about the procedure, ensuring you feel fully informed and comfortable before proceeding with the treatment.

Preparation steps

  • Shave the bikini area 24-48 hours before appointment

  • Avoid tanning or sun exposure for 2 weeks prior

  • Remove all lotions, and deodorants from the area

  • Wear comfortable, loose clothing to your appointment

What to avoid before treatment

  • Waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for 4-6 weeks before treatment

  • Certain medications that increase photosensitivity

  • Retinoids and other skin-irritating products for 3-5 days prior

  • Caffeine on the day of treatment

  • Heavy exercise immediately before the appointment

During the Treatment

Step-by-step bikini line hair removal explanation 

The bikini line laser hair removal process begins with cleansing and preparing the treatment area. A cooling gel is applied to protect the skin and enhance laser effectiveness. 

The practitioner then uses a handheld device to deliver precise laser pulses to the bikini area, targeting hair follicles. They will work methodically across the region, ensuring even coverage.

Special attention is given to the sensitive nature of the bikini area, adjusting the technique as needed for optimal results and comfort.

Duration of the treatment 

A typical bikini line laser hair removal session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the area being treated. 

Full Brazilian treatments may take slightly longer. The quick nature of the procedure allows it to fit easily into most schedules.

Sensation and comfort levels 

With the Motus AZ laser's innovative moveo technology, the sensation during bikini line hair removal is significantly more comfortable than with traditional lasers.

Most clients describe feeling only a mild warmth or gentle tingling on their skin. Even though the bikini area is typically more sensitive than other body parts, the Motus AZ's integrated cooling system and unique sweeping motion work together to maximize comfort.

The laser's design eliminates the need for numbing creams in most cases, as the treatment is virtually pain-free. This makes it an excellent option for those with lower pain tolerances or for more extensive bikini area treatments. 

The Motus AZ provides a premium patient experience, allowing for a more relaxed and comfortable session, even in this sensitive region.
