Do you dream of a day at the beach? But unfortunately, your swimsuit is not as clean as it should be. You want to avoid reliving this situation this summer (and in the following ones) and are considering permanent laser hair removal of the bikini line.
However, this decision requires some thought. What are the benefits? Which area should be treated? What is the cost? Your Epilia center will enlighten you on bikini line laser hair removal.
The benefits of bikini line laser hair removal.
Are you hesitant to make an appointment for permanent laser hair removal of the bikini line? However, laser hair removal goes far beyond just an aesthetic treatment. To help guide your decision, we have gathered several advantages for you.
Better self-confidence
Yes, you heard that right, bikini line laser hair removal can boost your self-esteem. In fact, according to a study conducted by Ipsos, 81% of women feel lighter and find their skin softer after a hair removal session. Furthermore, for 65% of them, it also boosts their self-confidence.
No longer having to worry about body hair before heading to the beach, pool, or even in the presence of your partner… This allows you to feel more relaxed, doesn’t it?
Additionally, laser hair removal is an ideal solution for eliminating issues like pimples, irritations, and ingrown hairs, which are often recurrent in the bikini area.
A cost-saving solution.
Surprised? But do you have any idea of the annual budget you dedicate to wax, razors, or even hair removal sessions at the beautician? In fact, it is estimated that you could spend between 5,000 and 40,000 € over your lifetime (source: Ipsos).
Thus, laser hair removal sessions are ultimately less expensive than other hair removal methods, even though the price of a session may seem high initially.
When you start treatment at Epilia, your laser assistant provides you with all the necessary information about the laser and gives you a detailed estimate. So there are no unpleasant surprises, you know in advance the amount you will need to pay for each session. Our prices are designed to make this permanent hair removal method accessible to everyone.

A time-saver.
Do you know how much time a woman spends on average waxing? Between 1 hour 8 minutes and 2 hours 28 minutes each month, according to an Ipsos study. All that time wasted not being able to dedicate yourself to other activities.
In comparison, a bikini line laser hair removal session only lasts about 25 minutes. Sessions will initially be spaced 6 weeks apart (and even more spaced out as your treatment progresses). You’ll save precious time on your hair removal sessions.
Furthermore, once your laser treatment is completed, the majority of your hair will be gone (leaving only light fuzz). Enjoy your freedom!

Which bikini areas to treat with laser hair removal?
For women
Because every person is unique, Epilia centers offer a range of hair removal options tailored to your specific preferences or needs.
Classic bikini line hair removal.
For those of you who prefer a clean and tidy hair removal before heading to the beach, but without going overboard, classic bikini line hair removal is for you.
You keep your underwear on throughout the treatment, which allows even more modest individuals to benefit from the advantages of bikini line laser hair removal.
The hair in the groin area will be treated on a band of about 2 cm in width on each side of your underwear. The laser will not treat the pubic area for this type of hair removal (classic bikini line).
Laser hair removal for a cleaner bikini line
Is traditional bikini line hair removal not enough for you? Do you want to remove more hair from the bikini area without worrying about the underwear you wear?
During your first consultation, your laser hair removal specialist will ask you to specify the area to be treated. You will have the option to select the area of hair to keep, and she will make sure to carefully avoid it. For this, you will be asked to undress to make the area to be treated accessible.
With this option, the hair on the labia is not affected.
Full bikini line hair removal
Do you want to choose full or partial bikini line hair removal, including the labia? It is entirely possible to treat all the hair or leave a small patch of hair on the pubic area. The hair on the labia will be fully removed. It is important to note that for the labia area, where the hair is finer and the skin often darker, there might be slight hair remaining at the end of the laser treatment.
Please note, the inter-gluteal cleft (IGC) is treated separately from the bikini line hair removal. If you also wish to treat this area with laser, be sure to mention it during your free consultation.
For men
Hair removal of intimate areas.
At our Epilia centers, we offer two options for bikini line laser hair removal. With the first option, your laser hair removal specialist will take care of the hair located on your testicles and at the base of your penis.
Why these two areas in particular? Because the concentration of hair is the highest in men in these areas.
Of course, if you also wish to treat the IGC (inter-gluteal cleft), we can add it during your initial consultation, through one of our packages.
Full bikini line hair removal
Does the “genital area” option not meet your expectations?
If you truly want to get rid of all your unwanted hair, why not opt for full hair removal?
We offer the “full bikini line” option. This includes the testicles, the base of the penis, and the pubic area. You will enjoy smooth skin for your comfort and the satisfaction of your partner.
Please note: results for men may differ from those for women.
Since testosterone is more prevalent in men, it encourages the regrowth of new hair. However, we guarantee a significant improvement in hair quality and a reduction in hair growth, thus providing men with excellent quality of life.
Your bikini line laser hair removal session.
During your first consultation, we will take the time to assess your needs and answer all your questions. No treatment session will take place during this consultation.
You will learn more about the laser hair removal method and the equipment used, including the Alexandrite laser by Candela, which is one of the most effective lasers for aesthetic hair removal.
Our laser is paired with the Zimmer system, a skin cooling technology, which enhances the comfort of the session by reducing the tingling sensation caused by the laser.
Contraindications
As with any other area of the body, the bikini area must be free of any objects. If you are wearing any, don’t forget to remove your piercings.
It is also important to know that if an area to be treated is covered by a tattoo, it will be carefully protected and avoided.
Tanned skin cannot be treated with laser. Indeed, sun-tanned or UV-tanned skin poses a high risk of burns. It is therefore recommended to start your permanent hair removal once your skin is completely tan-free.
Things to know before permanent laser hair removal
- Avoid sun exposure, UV rays, and self-tanning lotions on the areas to be treated.
- Do not wear new, unwashed underwear.
- The use of numbing creams such as Emla is prohibited. Your sensation during the session is crucial for adjusting the laser power optimally and preventing the risk of burns. The application of numbing cream alters this sensation.
- It is recommended to shave or trim the hair just before the session so that it is short (maximum 1 mm). This instruction will be clarified during your first consultation.
What to do after a bikini line laser hair removal session?
- Avoid any sun exposure on the treated area.
- Follow the shaving instructions provided by your laser hair removal specialist.
- Moisturize and exfoliate your skin.
It is possible that you may feel some warmth after each session. Don’t worry, this is completely normal. However, if this sensation persists for several days after your session, feel free to contact us.
How many sessions are needed for bikini line laser hair removal?
During your first appointment, your laser assistant will provide you with a quote for the area(s) you wish to treat. Rest assured, at Epilia, you pay per session. This allows you to spread your payments over several months. No unpleasant surprises at Epilia, as we never offer subscriptions.
From the first session, you will begin to notice the effects of laser hair removal. The number of sessions required varies depending on several factors, such as physiology and the individual expectations of each person. It is therefore difficult to predict the exact number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results.
Now that bikini line laser hair removal holds no secrets for you, don’t wait any longer and book your appointment at one of our Epilia centers.
