A common enquiry we receive from our clients, especially in the run up to the Summer swimsuit season, is in relation to whether or not we can offer a “Full Hollywood” or “Brazilian” bikini much like people have previously experienced with waxing – but on a permanent basis.
In short, yes we do! However, we do not call it by these names as unlike waxing, permanent depilation of these sensitive areas is bespoke to the individual. DepiCool offer what we label as “Bikini Extensive”.
The reason we do not call this a Hollywood or Brazilian is because dependant on the clients' skin phototype would depend on how much of the area that we can depilate. Unlike conventional waxing, IPL would offer you a permanent reduction in your bikini line hair, not only being more cost effective – but also making it easier to maintain.
Clients should be aware that underneath the bikini area and the further inwards you wish to have the hair removed – the skin itself becomes darker: in essence this means the skin is more deeply pigmented so the fluence (power intensity) we would treat with the IPL machine would be lowered; whilst still maintaining effectiveness.
With IPL we can treat phototypes 1-5 of a possible 6, but the darker the skin (the more pigmented) the more prone the area is to sensitivity. Understanding this, explains why we would obviously decrease the power when treating a darkened area of skin, especially one of such a delicate nature as a bikini line.
Overall, DepiCool assess all clients on an individual basis – meaning that we could give you a much more accurate and personal estimation of how much hair we could remove from this area.
DepiCool are also proud to offer male bikini treatments which are priced accordingly: Male bikini line: £56.35 or Male bikini Extensive: £64.80. For more information on our prices, please visit the related website page.
